His wish list includes filling empty downtown buildings with arts and artists, even buildings that are for sale. Hankins suggested that property owners provide cheap rent month-to-month for fine art and music studios, offices and rehearsal space for performing arts. Hankins says artists associated with UO also need studio space and he’s particularly interested in seeing cutting-edge “high-tech electronic arts” downtown, drawing tourists and increasing foot traffic for other down- town businesses. Hankin’s talk was not taped for broad- cast on KLCC, but was videotaped for OPAN cable TV broadcast at a later date. Videotapes are available for $10.

She says the first large sign on the property was com- pletely demolished, and the second one had a large chunk cut of of the middle. “I see this as a suppression of the American right to express what we sup- port,” says Berg.
