Alberta Street NighttimeWalking Tour with Sharon Koskoff
Albert Street Nighttime | September 2016
The Grilled Cheese Grill, The Tiny House Hotel and Radio Room, walkable distance from the Emerson Street House, although Joanne Suell Green always drove. We visited many more Albert Street Businesses that night, although the photos seem to be lost to my poor archival skills.
Has COVID-19 changed ALBERTA STREET?
Yes it has!
AND it is difficult to know how, unless you walk Albert Street and determine which businesses are open for DINE IN, CURBSIDE and/or TAKEOUT.
RESTAURANTS, BARS and ENTERTAINMENT VENUES operate on the thinest of margins in the BEST OF TIMES. FIXED COSTS (RENT, UTILITIES, ETC.) continue even though there is no VARIABLE REVENUE (FOOD, DRINK, ENTERTAINMENT, ETC.) to Cover the FIXED COSTS.
AND QUARANTINE on again, off again drives NIGHTTIME businesses CRAZY!

Radio Room Food, drink, art and music. For the people. ------------------ With a long history in the neighborhood — dating back to the early 1960's — we have seen first-hand the often unsettling pace of change happening around us for many years. We believe that restoring small neglected buildings helps preserve a little bit of the history and character of the King neighborhood while providing our neighbors with a comfortable place to gather and socialize.

The Radio Room building is an art deco style former service station, built in 1949 in the aftermath of the tragic Vanport flood as the neighborhood became home to many displaced citizens who fled the vanished town. Rich in history but temporarily unloved, the Radio Room building sat unwanted and decaying for many years. With a strong commitment to preservation, we set out in 2005 to clean up the site and recycle the building, leaving the original structure intact to serve as Radio Room’s covered entry and main dining area.
