  To be clear, Wiley Griffon's run was not to Springfield (nor to the cemetery as some claimed;) it was up Willamette to 11th and then to the campus.  The Springfield. boozing run came much later with the electric streetcars.
  
  The 3rd and High home of the Mims, 4th and Mill home of Wiley  Griffon, and the Ferry Street bridge housing  site form a natural triangle of black history as the EWEB Master Plan notes.
