      The one in Nagaizumi didn’t find it necessary to call theirs a park until someone from the city visited Portland. Or so local embittered Portland residents say.

    Looks like a lovely spot to have an eternal campfire.

    In 1948 the site that would become Mill Ends Park was intended to be the site for a light pole. When the pole failed to appear and weeds sprouted in the opening, Dick Fagan, a columnist for *[The Oregon Journal](https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/The_Oregon_Journal “The Oregon Journal”)*, planted flowers in the hole and named it after his column in the paper, “Mill Ends” (a reference to leftover irregular pieces of wood at lumber mills).

    Thanks Dick Fagan!

      No, it’s a park. A record plays music.
