Boarded Storefronts on Southeast Hawthorne Boulevard

A weathered red brick commercial building stands shuttered along Southeast Hawthorne Boulevard in Portland's Richmond neighborhood, its windows and doors sealed behind plywood panels adorned with vibrant graffiti tags. The overcast Pacific Northwest sky casts a muted light across the vacant storefront, while utility poles and power lines frame the scene of urban abandonment. Colorful street art transforms the makeshift barriers into an impromptu canvas, creating a stark contrast between creative expression and economic closure.
