The Gypsy Jokers Motorcycle Club clubhouse at 3535 NE Martin Luther King Jr., Boulevard in Portland, Oregon is for sale.
The two story, 2,496 square foot, brick building was built in 1931. The lot measures 50 by 100 feet.
The Stuart Realty Group which is brokering the property describes it an “emerging location of Northeast Portland near the Boise area and Irving Park. A commercial building that backs to a residential property. Great live/work opportunity. Brewery. Development. Parking etc. Property development profile available.”
There was a viewing for potential buyers yesterday.
The asking price is $550,000. Last year, the taxes on the place totaled $842.16. The realtor wants potential buyers to make a bid on the clubhouse before 6 p.m. next Wednesday.
There is now a “quirky, gay-friendly gathering place” called the Local Lounge across the street. It offers “events like movie screenings, trivia and dance nights. The owner is a man named Randy Faber. Yesterday he told KPTV, “When we acquired the bar in 2010, we put up the gay pride flags right away. Culturally, we shouldn’t get along very well, but I’ve never had any issues with them.”
Live and let live.
We grow old. We grow old.
