Talk:24 Hour Church of Elvis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(new author:) Before the Ankeny Street location mentioned above, the 24 Hour Church of Elvis was on Ash Street between 2nd and 3rd, next to Berbati's Pan (I think.) That's where it was when I moved to Portland in 1991; it moved, as I recall, following a landlord dispute of some sort.
yes, this is true. i moved here around 1992 and went there several times. in fact i have a photo somewhere of this location. it was (imho) much cooler at the first location -- it had an incredible window/storefront with all these automated machines, which you could operate for a quarter. (and at any time -- truly 24 hours!) the second location was on the second floor and lacked most of these cool machines. Jon Lon Sito 09:03, May 2, 2005 (UTC)
- If you can scan that photo it'd be a nice addition to the article, I for one never saw the original location. Sarge Baldy 16:55, May 2, 2005 (UTC)
- done! i found it. had to kinda squash the colors a little cuz it was so dark. there is a super-hires version, if you wanna try to read some of the stuff in the window. Jon Lon Sito 19:51, May 9, 2005 (UTC)

- Excellent, looks like there's a lot of interesting stuff going on in there! Make sure to assign a license on the commons page though or eventually they'll take it down. Sarge Baldy 19:55, May 9, 2005 (UTC)
check out the new website run by the proprietess of 24HCoE. it has lots of photos. (including, it would seem, mine!) Jon Lon Sito 04:59, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] public access cable
Shouldn't the article mention that the owner and the street performer had a local public access cable show for a number of years? I think it was called "Wheres the Art?"Thaddeus Slamp 20:49, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
