Some of you have seen this photo in the "Storm damage" album. For those who haven't, the distribution pole in the foreground was snapped like a toothpick thanks to tornado activity that ravaged the Portland/Vancouver area on April 5, 1972. That written, what is that seven-pointed structure in the background? Is it power related? Do any Portlanders or Vancouverites know what this is (or remember what it was)? Is a street location available? Any information is appreciated. Photo credit: [id=768308330]
