SUPERSTITIOUS FLOORS



Several of Portland's tall towers have no 13th floor. This 2003 article from the Portland Business Journal says that U.S. Bancorp Tower, ODS Tower, 1000 Broadway, Fox Tower, Benjamin Franklin Plaza, the 200 Market Building, Standard Insurance Center, One Main Place and KOIN Center all avoid the number 13 on their elevators.
