Yeah its not as great as it used to be before they revamped down town somebody had painted over the part of the bottom of the sign that used to read cocktails so it just read hung far low cock
I recently read that John C. Jay from Wieden + Kennedy is teaming with the owner of Pok Pok to open a new asian eatery called Ping in the Hung Far Low building. At least the sign is staying.

See, Rob, this is why I thought you must always been in Portland. Maybe I just pick up on the Portland Flickr Interludes…
Pok Pok is AMAZING!
I literally work across a parking lot for the hung far low building and it really is a Portland icon.
