In spite of all reported sightings to the contrary, Ben Franklin is not in Boston this week. Can’t say that I blame him.
This image was captured in downtown Portland yesterday. This city was founded by New Yorkers and New Englanders in the mid-nineteenth century, and it remains a very sensible and very liberal society, so maybe there’s some logic to Franklin’s visit (or move?).
While it looks like he’s now in a serious stretch from his sober sartorial habit (his Parisian friends would love it), he still wears the same glasses and he still seems to be interested in journalism.
Even Ben Franklin got out of town this week
He fled to Portland, Ore. Here’s proof….
Naw, that looks like The Willamette Week, so it can’t be for the journalism. Ben may just prefer alt. rock.
