This week our resident architecture critic, Randy Gragg, joined mayoral candidates Jules Bailey and Ted Wheeler on walkabout. Gragg took the candidates through their paces, pushing them to get specific about the architecture and design issues facing our city.
Wheeler, Oregon's state Treasurer and a former Multnomah County chair, elected to stroll through Montavilla, one of Southeast Portland’s increasingly rare beasts: a desirable yet still affordable neighborhood.
Bailey, former state representative and county commissioner, chose to revisit the neighborhood he grew up in, Sunnyside, the home of popular SE strips Belmont and Hawthorne.
