Portlandians: Are Barns Rd and Barnes Rd the same thing? Looks like a nice spot if so: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/45.50901/-122.77468 https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/45.50901/-122.77468
That building is now a SFX agency: https://hellohinge.com/ https://hellohinge.com/ (No relation to the dating app)
Also curious if the TEKsystems employment agency next door took its name from Tektronix.
- cmdpint 3y agoQuite likely. The Tektronix Industrial Park is only a mile or two from there. There's also a museum that may be of interest here: https://vintagetek.org/ https://vintagetek.org/
- marshray 3y agoYes, that's the same museum as the site with the article. If you ever find yourself in Oregon, it's a wonderful place to visit if you like electronics, manufacturing history, etc.

- sponaugle 3y agoYes, that Barns without the e is a mistype, which is funny given it was the Oregonian. You can see a copy of TekTimes: https://vintagetek.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/TekTalk_Sept1958.pdf https://vintagetek.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/TekTalk_Se... They reference the building on 9450 Barnes Rd.. and indeed that building is still there today.
