PORTLAND: In 1948 a hole was cut in a Portland sidewalk for a lamp post that never came. Dick Fagen, an Oregon Journal columnist, took up the cause to make it a park. He planted flowers and wrote of Leprechaun happenings there. On St. Patty’s day 1976 (seven years after Fagan’s death), Mills End Park was added to the roster of city parks and holds the world’s record for smallest city park. (452.16 inches)
