The only "violence" was the breaking of a bank's windows in the Georgia-Pacific building. I was at the May, 1972 demonstration.

I was in London when there was a huge pre-Iraq II protest march and after it was over, many of the protesters went...shopping! I'm serious. They left their signs in the shops in the same places people left umbrellas. That last part is hilarious.

It was way ahead of its time fashion wise for provincial Portland. Very hip, spendy & colorful. What they sold was high quality & beautifully made. You can still find apparel from the store in vintage shops around Portland. Barbara The Clothes Horse – was NOT a chain,although they had a store in Palm Springs.

But knowing Portland, and given the last photo (which proves Portland is nothing if not hungry and thirsty) maybe the beer cocktail is the smarter guess.
