Portlandia, the large hammered copper statue of Lady Commerce' that stands over the entrance to the City of Portland building, turns 20 years old Thursday.
The 36-ton piece of art has become one of Stumptown's best known icons and as Kristian Foden-Vencil reports, seen the city turn into a very different place.

Nice story on Stanley Waters. However, my ears were jarred when Colin Fogarty wrongly identified "Clair de Lune" by Claude Debussy (so familiar to music lovers) as the music of Chopin! How did that get past the editors?

Thank you for pointing out the musical error. The story has now been corrected.

Colin identified the first piece in the young pianist story as a Chopin composition, but I believe it was Claude Debussy's Clair de Lune that young Stanley was playing at that moment.
