Since Portland's first parkkeeper was appointed in 1885, the twelve blocks that make up the South Park Blocks have remained as they were conceived, as a "cathedral of trees with a simple floor of grass." Each block features a piece of artwork paying respect to a part of Portland's past.

The world's smallest park! The small spot of dirt was originally intended to house a streetlight, but after weeks passed and the streetlight never came, a columnist for the Oregon Journal named Dick Fagan planed a few flowers in the dirt and named it after his column: Mill Ends.
I feel like this little tree sprouting out of a dead piece of wood mirrors Dick Fagan planting his greenery in a forgotten spot of dirt.
