Portland Packing Company Factory
The Portland Packing Company was founded about 1862, by the merger of two smaller packing companies. By the turn of the 20th century, the company was Maine's largest vegetable canning business, an industry that exceeded the combined size of state's slate, granite, and ice harvesting business in economic importance. This building was part of one of thirteen factories operated by the company in the state, and was built in 1884. Its design is attributed to Portland architect Francis H. Fassett on stylistic grounds. It functioned primarily as a storage facility, and was in 1927 sold to Blake Rounds Supply Company. After some years of vacancy and neglect, it was rehabilitated for commercial use in 1995-6.

Portland Taiko
Portland Taiko is a dual-composed company of a community group made of Portland Taiko members who play taiko as their avocation. Portland Taiko has a unique structure in that it is a community group, which is composed of everyone, and a smaller professional group which tours and is made up of the professional, full-time staff. The community group involved in about 20% of Portland Taiko’s artistic activities, and members of the professional ensemble also are actively involved in the community group. The community group is an umbrella for everyone: volunteer performers as well as professional staff. The community group, however, is only involved in local performances, while the professional group is involved in all of Portland Taiko’s home and local shows, assembly school programs, touring, daytime performances, and the logistic arrangements for the events and performances- the community members are not involved in PT’s educational outreach shows. 
The entire company is led by the artistic director, who leads all of the rehearsals for the performing company. The current artistic director of Portland Taiko is Michelle Fujii, a former member of UCLA Kyodo Taiko. Fujii took on the role of artistic director in 2005. Fujii has adapted and evolved many aspects of Portland Taiko, and has furthered the Community Performance Outreach Project, started originally by Ann Ishimaru and Zack Semke. This project emphasizes Portland Taiko's focus on community involvement and using the voices of the community to create new performance pieces. Some of the outcomes of this and other projects have included talking with community members who had lived in the Tule Lake War Relocation Center during World War II, exploring Japanese American history.

Charles E. Loose House
Charles E. Loose (1853–1929) was a banker and a Utah State Senator. Charles was linked to Provo as a central entrepreneur during the period of time when Provo's economy transformed from primarily agrarian to that of commercial mining. Charles E. Loose was a non-Mormon, as opposed to many of the other primary entrepreneurs made wealthy by the Tintic Mining District, and probably the most prominent in Provo at the turn of the century. As Grand Central stock rose, so did Charles Loose. By 1900 the company had installed a new surface plant, including an innovative all steel headframe over its shaft—a first and only in the entire area. Thus, Loose built his Provo residence in 1893.

The Dime Store's concept was created by McErlean and Jeremy Larter, and was inspired by the soda shops they both experienced growing up on the East Coast. Prior to the restaurant's opening, plans were to serve breakfast and lunch during mid-week hours, with the potential to later add happy hour and family-friendly dinner options, as well as outdoor seating.

Connor, publisher of "Times Leader" in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, with financing from HM Capital Partners and Citizens Bank.

Her new house was located in grounds at Pacific Highway (now SW Riverside Drive) and SW Military Road and SW Military Lane. The hotel was never built owing to the Depression. The city block was subsequrently purchased in 1944 by the "Oregonian" Publishing Company and the Pietro Belluschi designed building was built there by "The Oregonian" for its headquarters, which it occupied until 2014 when it was subsequently bought by Amazon's AWS Elemental, whose headquarters now occupy the building.
Railway Exchange Building and Huber's Restaurant
Huber's bills itself as the oldest restaurant in Portland, having been established in 1879 as The Bureau Saloon at the corner of 1st and Alder in downtown Portland. The name of the establishment changed to its current form after Frank Huber purchased The Bureau Saloon. Throughout its history, the restaurant has occupied four separate locations, settling in the Pioneer Building (its current location) shortly after it was built in 1910. During this time, Huber's was a saloon with a bar and spittoons where "downtown professionals spat their chewing tobacco". After Huber died in 1912, Jim Louie took over management of the establishment. Louie, a stowaway Chinese immigrant, was the cook that helped to popularize the turkey dinners that Huber's is still known for today. During Prohibition, the saloon was converted into a restaurant and speakeasy so that food and alcoholic drinks could continue to be served. A few years after Louie's death, his nephew Andrew became the sole proprietor of Huber's in 1952. In 1960, Andrew introduced his eleven-year-old son James Kai Louie ("Jim") to the business, who eventually became an owner of the restaurant. David and Lucille Louie also became owners with the passing of Andrew in 1988 and his wife Amy in 1990.

Dime Store (Portland, Oregon)
Fodor's called The Dime Store "bright and hip", offering "office workers and hotel guests a much-appreciated source of seasonally driven, well-prepared comfort fare". Cizmar wrote a positive review of the restaurant in August 2014, in which he paid tribute to Leo's and described his two $1 extras (an egg on his BLT and maple syrup for his pancakes) as "the best two dollars [he] spent all week". That same month, Thrillist contributor Drew Tyson included the diner in his list of the "11 Best New Restaurants in Portland", writing: Billing itself as a "finer diner", this old-school space feels a bit like the diner in Twin Peaks. There's a magazine and candy counter in one corner that no one seems to touch; just quick enough service that once you start questioning whether or not you'll get another cup of coffee, one arrives; plus a menu full of classics. All-in-all it's one of the only places you can go in Downtown and feel like you're transported somewhere else entirely.
Portland Gas &amp; Coke Building
The Portland Gas & Coke Building, also known as the Gas and Coke Building and Gasco Building, was an administrative building located in northwest Portland, Oregon, United States.

Thrillist contributor Amy Wolfenberger included Funhouse in her list of "The Best Theme Bars in Portland", in which she wrote: "The Funhouse is a wonderland of improv theater, beer, shots (no cocktails), clowns, and a general sense of whimsy. On any given night, you can get anything from stand-up to improvised episodes of "Deadwood" ... to burlesque. It's kind of like that scene in "Fear & Loathing", only with fewer trapeze-friendly wolverines and more grown-up theater kids. Oh, and it's situated just across Ladd's Addition from legendary comic shop Excalibur, just in case you wanted to incorporate more capes into your fandom for the evening."

Portland, Oregon
Portland is home to two major league sports franchises: the Portland Trail Blazers of the NBA and the Portland Timbers of Major League Soccer. The Portland Thorns of the National Women's Soccer League also play in Portland. In 2015, the Timbers won the MLS Cup, which was the first male professional sports championship for a team from Portland since the Trail Blazers won the NBA championship in 1977. Despite being the 19th most populated metro area in the United States, Portland contains only one franchise from the NFL, NBA, NHL, or MLB, making it America's most populated metro area with that distinction. The city has been often rumored to receive an additional franchise, although efforts to acquire a team have failed due to stadium funding issues. An organization known as the Portland Diamond Project (PDP) has worked with the MLB and local government, and there are plans to have an MLB stadium constructed in the industrial district of Portland. The PDP has not yet received the funding for this project.Portland sports fans are characterized by their passionate support. The Trail Blazers sold out every home game between 1977 and 1995, a span of 814 consecutive games, the second-longest streak in American sports history. The Timbers joined MLS in 2011 and have sold out every home match since joining the league, a streak that has now reached 70+ matches. The Timbers season ticket waiting list has reached 10,000+, the longest waiting list in MLS. In 2015, they became the first team in the Northwest to win the MLS Cup. Player Diego Valeri marked a new record for fastest goal in MLS Cup history at 27 seconds into the game.

Portland Museum, Dorset
Portland Museum is a museum on the Isle of Portland in Dorset, southern England. It is located at the southern end of the hamlet of Wakeham. The museum is housed in two 17th-century thatched cottages, which have both been Grade II Listed since 1951. One of the museum's cottages, Avice's Cottage, is featured in Thomas Hardy's 1897 novel "The Well-Beloved", as the home of three generations of "Avices" - the novel's heroines.
Portland Museum was founded by Marie Stopes, who purchased the museum's two cottages, then derelict, in 1929. She then donated them to Portland as a museum which opened in 1930. Stopes was the first honorary curator and continued her association with the museum until her death in 1958.
Portland Works
Portland Works is one of very few Sheffield metal trades buildings to have a continuous history of manufacturing since its construction, in 1877. For many years it was the home of R. F. Mosley's cutlery business. In 2009, a planning application was submitted for Portland Works to be converted into residential flats. As a result of this, concerned tenants and supporters set up a campaign to save Portland Works and offer an alternative future based on the existing mix of tenants. The 'Save Portland Works' campaign group became a Community Benefit Society in 2011, operating on co-operative principles. The Portland Works website outlines the campaign, through which almost £500,000 was eventually raised, with help from the Architectural Heritage Fund website to buy the works outright in early 2013.

Ted Eldred
In 1960 the French firm L'Air Liquide, which owned U.S. Divers Corp., and the patent to the Aqua-Lung, bought Eldred out, under threat of flooding his market with their products. The Porpoise continued to be marketed under the name Australian Divers Spiro Pty. Ltd. Eldred worked for them for a time, but eventually left diving behind, discouraged by this experience. Later Australian Divers Spiro ceased production of all of the Porpoise models, but had to continue to supply the RAN because of an existing contract. The last Porpoise sold was the RAN variation of the Porpoise Universal in 1976. About 12,000 Porpoise units were produced, but only a few dozen of all models are known to exist today. The more common French Aqua Lung was produced in far larger numbers, with 12,000 being made in a single month. Today the French design is considered obsolete, while the Australian design is made and used world wide.

It was released on June 21, 1930, by Paramount Pictures.
Marco Perkins (Oakie) is a garage mechanic and a would-be-prizefighter who gets a place on the ritzy country club's polo team because he is the town's most proficient mallet-wielder, having learned to play polo while serving in U.S. army. His hobnobbing with the town-elite and social upper-crust at the polo-matches gives him an inflated idea of his social position, and he decides he is moving on up. He breaks off with his girl-friend, true-blue Cynthia Brown (Brian), and hits on débutante Gloria Staunton (Borden), who appears to have an interest in being hit upon. Gloria's interest lies mostly in showing marco that hired-hands who can play polo still aren't to the manor born.
