Think Palm Desert before it was grooved-up, hipstered-out. White cement block, only instead of bleaching out in the hot sun these are exposed to wind, rain, rivery stuff, and all that PDX has to offer. There is nothing fine about these buildings on the outside. They are stained and dirty and the exterior steps are those open cement ones you often see in hotels of that era, with these thin wrought iron rails. They look dangerous, but they arent. The roof is flat. The whole building would look better with graffiti on it.
Inside there is a casualness that I like. If it were the beach I would lean my wet surfboard in the living room and not hesitate to throw a wet towel down. I dont think there are many rules at the funkshack. Inside there is sort of funky coolness, a myness I guess. It speaks to me.
I dont know about the other one yet. i havent been inside.
