The Yamhill District and Morrison/Southwest 3rd Avenue stations are light rail stations on the MAX Blue and Red lines in Portland, Oregon. It is the 3rd stop eastbound on the original Eastside Max, now the 4th stop after the inclusion of the Pioneer Place Mall stop in 1990. It was also the eastern terminus of the transit mall. It originally served the Yellow Line from 2004 and 2009 until its relocation to the Portland Transit Mall.
The stations are built into the sidewalks of Yamhill and Morrison streets.
Famous quotes containing the words avenue, morrison and/or district:
“Along the avenue of cypresses,
All in their scarlet cloaks and surplices
Of linen, go the chanting choristers,
The priests in gold and black, the villagers. . . .”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Of course I’m a black writer.... I’m not just a black writer, but categories like black writer, woman writer and Latin American writer aren’t marginal anymore. We have to acknowledge that the thing we call “literature” is more pluralistic now, just as society ought to be. The melting pot never worked. We ought to be able to accept on equal terms everybody from the Hassidim to Walter Lippmann, from the Rastafarians to Ralph Bunche.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
“Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
