There’s a picture hanging in my second-floor bathroom, depicting the Bagdad a few moments after sunset, and it’s one of my favorites.
I went back out there to recapture the nightlife and the vibe in the dark.
Thanks for seeing my work!
Haha crazy seeing that here. I've never been to Portland but 15 years ago i just so happened to write a bunch of scenes taking place inside the Bagdad Theater. We were writing a novel with a buddy of mine and picked the place at random on Google Maps to be our main characters post-apocalyptic hideout, which of course they call the Bagda because the last D fell off at some point.
We never finished the novel but did publish a couple segments of it in an anthology we were putting out, including one of the scenes in Bagdad Theater. This brings back fun memories !
