The Flashback

RM Parish, a contributor to PRP, recently began remodeling an upstairs room in his house. Underneath the well-worn floorboards were dozens of amazingly well preserved issues of THE OREGONIAN, published in the summer of 1940. What we found provides an extraordinarily intimate snapshot of life in PDX before most of us were born.

Here are some images from his discovery along with other photographs from our personal collections of PDX history.
