Portland Red Guide Walking Tour

International Longshore & Warehouse Union Local 5 (Powell's Books) is hosting a "Portland Red Guide" early evening walking tour downtown on Sunday July 11 based on Michael Munk's great book.

A limited number of non-members are welcome as long as space is available. Sign up (first come, first served) via email to shop steward Chris Phillips at phillipsccw@gmail.com .

Local 5 is asking a for a $3 donation to its strike fund, and tourers will get more from the experience if they first review the relevant sites in the book.

The tour begins at 6 PM at the PGE Park Tri Met station (Red Guide p. 27), includes the destroyed Murnane Memorial on the waterfront and ends about 7:30 at the former Harbor Club (pp 215 & 233), now Paddy's Bar & Grill, 65 SW Yamhill..
