Economic Impact

A lone white sedan crosses the eerily deserted intersection of West Burnside Street in Portland's Pearl District, capturing the profound stillness of the early COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. The iconic Powell's Books storefront dominates the right side of the frame, its familiar red and gold signage a stark contrast to the vacant sidewalks that would normally bustle with literary enthusiasts. Overcast skies mirror the somber mood of this historic moment, while modern high-rise towers loom in the background, silent witnesses to the city's sudden pause.

Empty Burnside Street During COVID Lockdown

Portland, Oregon

West Burnside Street sits nearly vacant during the COVID-19 lockdown, with Powell's City of Books and the Pearl District's urban landscape captured in an unprecedented moment of stillness.
A small green and white single-story United States Post Office building in Detroit, Oregon 97342, with an American flag on a pole out front and a blue USPS mailbox beside the entrance. Behind it, a hillside shows dramatic evidence of wildfire damage — charred tree stumps, scorched earth, and burnt vegetation in rusty oranges and browns. A surviving log cabin-style home with a green roof sits among tall evergreen pines on the hillside above. Construction equipment is visible to the right, suggesting ongoing recovery work. The moody, overcast scene conveys a community in the process of rebuilding.
