just now really hitting me that the US immediately normalized slow speeds for safety on e-bikes, and forced manufacturers to comply, when in fact it’s cars that kill tens of thousands of human beings every year

bought a bouquet from a fella at the St. John’s farmers market with the St. John’s bridge tattooed on his arm, and so begins what I intend to be a longer term thread of local St. John’s bridge iconography #pdxhttps://alaskan.social/@seachanger/115059278350064100

everyone wants to paint the bridge on stuff, including intersections, I’ve seen two different St. John’s bridge street murals so far #pdx

I’ll of course get to all the major St. John’s bridge murals, but what about all the little DIY St. John’s bridge paintings on like peoples random porches and shit? how many neighborhoods have this level of allegiance to a local landmark? #pdx

spotted this ancient bumper sticker on a lifeless old car, elegant how there’s no slogan, just the St. John’s bridge #pdx

there’s only one photo-realistic mural of the St. John’s bridge (that I’ve seen) and it is at the sky high pot shop. a little hard to see in this photo but the words Sky High are placed in gothic lettering on either side of the tallest point of the bridge’s highest arch, as if that’s where the store’s products will take you. I like how this mural features a reflective pond that doesn’t exist irl, but does relate visually to other tienda style murals on the block #pdx

the St. John’s bridge appears in the logo of two different food cart parks, including the cathedral park food carts, whose logo captures the sight line where one main arch is framed inside the other main arch, very pleasing to the eye and arguably one of the most compelling aspects of the bridge’s design #pdx

a popular bumper sticker showing how the St. John’s bridge overlaps and possibly causes the love we feel for the St. John’s community #pdx

this is my photo of a photo that is posted as a large sign in someone’s front yard, apparently referencing a former exhibit, it begins “I AM FROM ST JOHNS. I AM FROM THE WRONG SIDE OF THE CUT. THE PLACE WHERE TWO POWERFUL RIVERSMEET BENEATH THE MAJESTIC BRIDGE THAT FRAMES ST JOHNS. THE SAME BRIDGE MY MOTHER THREATENSTO JUMP FROM WHEN I MISBEHAVE. THE SAME POLLUTED RIVERS THAT TEMPT ME ON HOT SUMMER DAYS…” #pdx

Alshiref Eskander is also the designer of the St John’s neighborhood flag. you can see from their profile pic that they, like many, also personally identify with the bridge. several of my neighbors fly this flag and I am gearing up for the purchase cuz why not https://amitypdx.com/products/st-johns-flag #pdx

rode my bike 18 mi round trip to Alshiref’s downtown #pdx shop to get the tee. he was there! and showed me how he prints his designs himself behind the counter. we fangirled hard together about the St. John’s bridge (honestly cathartic to check in with a kindred spirit on this topic). he said when people complain his print is upside down he looks down at it and exclaims NOT FOR ME! 😂 he said he’s Egyptian and so he flipped it to pick up on traditional Egyptian collar type shirt designs

Alshiref also tried to upsell me on this limited edition (last one!) ply pannier set—st John’s bridge art collab he did with his friend. I was VERY tempted but didn’t have a rear rack on my bike at the time so couldn’t get them back to my house. They buckle together but then the handles fold up so you can easily carry them together, very functional design. I MIGHT go back and get them. I MIGHT #pdx

this evening I visited Shirtzenpantz thriftshop in St. John’s PDX and the proprietor‘s 87 yr old grandmother invited me to see the secret room. i followed her through an antique wardrobe into a blue-lit closet she had decorated with quilted river scenes and stuffed salmon hanging from the ceiling
