The Divide
A ghostly lit motel in SW Portland, illuminated by passing traffic on Route 26 and the bright red neon sign that reads MOTEL. The neon lights a bare tree next to parked cars. In the distance and far up in the West Hills, a beloved holiday tradition signaling the start of the season: an illuminated martini glass on the hillside that's a community staple.
