1875 Bing cherry inventor Ah Bing worked on farm for 35 yrs at 10966 McLoughlin Blvd in Milwaukie (OR). Went into hiding amidst mid-1880's racial violence. 1855 immigrant foreman returned to China in 1889. Not allowed back due to 1882-1943 Chinese immigration ban at border.
Home in SE PDX (built in 1910.)
It appears to have (what it is now referred to as an accessory commercial unit) a storefront connected to it that I'm guessing at one time served the neighborhood. (Store? Barber?)
Paging @nbrhoodwrkshop.
Thanks to @rilaos75 for snapping these rediscovered signs on Milwaukie Avenue in SE Portland.
It appears American Health Studios was a chain of fitness gyms during the mid-century.

I post this not because of the news (which is cool) but because I've always loved this 1916 building and the way it was retrofitted.

A quick (to be periodically updated) look at (some) neighborhood theaters around Portland. We're lucky to have so many.

Last I read the shuttered La Carreta on McLoughlin was going to be a "fuel station" but now maybe a food cart pod?
