The Rockwood/East 188th Avenue station is a MAX light rail station in Gresham, Oregon. It serves the Blue Line and is the 22nd stop eastbound on the current Eastside MAX branch. (It was the 20th on the original line in 1986)
The station is at the intersection of East 188th Avenue and Burnside Street, within the Rockwood neighborhood. Until 2010, this station had staggered side platforms; the Westbound platform has temporarily merged with the Eastbound while major renovations to the former take place. The new platform, which will have modern fixtures, improved security features, and 58-foot high artwork, will serve both East and Westbound trains. It opened in May 2011.
Famous quotes containing the words east and/or avenue:
“I know no East or West, North or South, when it comes to my class fighting the battle for justice. If it is my fortune to live to see the industrial chain broken from every workingman’s child in America, and if then there is one black child in Africa in bondage, there shall I go.”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
“Has anyone ever told you that you overplay your various roles rather severely, Mr. Kaplan? First you’re the outraged Madison Avenue man who claims he’s been mistaken for someone else. Then you play the fugitive from justice, supposedly trying to clear his name of a crime he knows he didn’t commit. And now you play the peevish lover stung by jealously and betrayal. It seems to me you fellows could stand a little less training from the FBI and a little more from the Actors Studio.”
—Ernest Lehman (b.1920)
