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:
“Only in America ... do these peasants, our mothers, get their hair dyed platinum at the age of sixty, and walk up and down Collins Avenue in Florida in pedalpushers and mink stoles—and with opinions on every subject under the sun. It isn’t their fault they were given a gift like speech—look, if cows could talk, they would say things just as idiotic.”
—Philip Roth (b. 1933)
“How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.”
—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)
