The Urban Adventure League of Portland
A couple months’ back I picked up a zine at Q is Choir [near Clinton and 26th] called Eastside Theater History Bike Tour. Presented by the Urban Adventure League, it was a handout at a 2004 ride where folks rode around on bikes and scoped out old single-screen theaters. That itself sounds like a blast. If you missed the ride, like I did, the booklet will hopefully encourage you to take your own tour--it's even got a map. It sprinkled with awesome illustrations of SE theaters by Shawn Granton, who also put on the ride. Granton’s works has appeared in other local comic zines, including illustrations for the annual PDX Zine Guide [his style is unmistakable—when I first picked this up, I thought, “hey, it’s that PDX zine guy.”]
