I started the Foster Avenue Portrait Project as a way to preserve the stories of businesses along Foster Avenue. Many of these businesses have been open for over three decades, and they act not just as shops, but as places for the community to gather. Here are people of Portland not typically represented by local and national media, but they’re as much a part of our city as any other. Since I’ve lived in this neighborhood for ten years, I definitely consider them part of my Portland. And I figured there was no better place to start than The Gun Room.

The thing about The Gun Room is it’s so rich in interesting people and their stories, I keep going back to listen. So consider this a sneak peek. Here’s Mark, posing with a gun that’s headed off to Ted Nugent. Definitely stay tuned for more!
