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.

a. Rates for each school-aged child are shown separately. They are not included with any other compensation rates. All other entries on this chart reflecting a rate for children show the rate payable for children under 18 or helpless. To find the amount payable to a 70% disabled Veteran with a spouse and four children, one of whom is over 18 and attending school, take the 70% rate for a veteran with a spouse and 3 children, $ 1,642.71, and add the rate for one school child, $182.00. The total amount payable is $1,824.71.
b. Where the veteran has a spouse who is determined to require A/A, add the figure shown as “additional for A/A spouse” to the amount shown for the proper dependency code. For example, veteran has A/A spouse and 2 minor children and is 70% disabled. Add $105.00, additional for A/A spouse, to the rate for a 70% veteran with dependency code 12, $1,590.71.
