Mike Harper submitted on Mill Ends Park in Portland, OR.
about 1 year ago
Mill Ends Park, world's smallest park Contained entirely within a 24" circle, Mill Ends Park in Portland Oregon is officially the "Smallest Park in the World" by the Guinness Book of Records. Home to a settlement of Leprechauns since 1948, the park is a perennial St. Patrick's Day destination, which over the years has featured miniature amenities including a Ferris Wheel, swimming pool, statues and a flying saucer.

From farm to fame It’s a strange sight, as you pull in, to see a marble edifice dominating what was once the Sinking Spring farm. Wasn’t Lincoln born in a one-room log cabin? Off to the left are some historic-looking cabins, but the modern swings and rocking chairs seem out of place. In fact, they are part of a 1920s motel that still welcomes motorists to the backwoods of Kentucky. The marble mausoleum, paid for by schoolchildren’s pennies, is reminiscent of D.C.’s majestic structures and entombs a tiny log-and-daub cabin. Climb a few dozen stairs, pull open the bronze doors, and reflect upon the path trod by a man who once said, “I happen, temporarily, to occupy the White House. I am a living witness that any of your children may come here as my father’s child has.”

Portland Oregon's Steel Bridge turns 100 When Portland Oregon's Steel Bridge opened in 1912, it was the largest telescoping-lift bridge in the world, with massive concrete counterweights totalling 9 millions pounds. Still in full operation a century later, the double-decked structure remains a feat of engineering as the only bridge of its kind in the world that can independently raise the lower deck for smaller boats without interrupting traffic on the upper deck. With daily traffic exceeding 23,000 vehicles, the bridge accommodates light-rail, car, truck, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic on the upper deck, with freight train, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic on the lower deck.
