Morning Coffee At Pattie's Home Plate Café

Ron, a weathered merchant marine veteran in wire-rimmed glasses and plaid flannel, sits at a well-worn wooden table beside his longtime friend Jewel in this intimate portrait of St. Johns neighborhood camaraderie. The warm, diffused lighting illuminates decades of community history gathered around steaming coffee cups, while shelves lined with local memorabilia and ephemera create a backdrop rich with Portland's working-class heritage. Their relaxed postures and knowing expressions speak to countless mornings spent in this converted Ford dealership turned beloved neighborhood institution.
