8:56 pm Dec. 8, North Mississippi Avenue and Skidmore Street A group of guards watch the entrance to a barricaded section of road in North Portland. They re armed, masked, and dressed in black from their balaclavas to their boots to their bulletproof vests. It s intimidating, but they re also laughing with each other, which gives the barricade a feeling similar to entering a nightclub. Can you walk in or will the bouncer tell you to scram?

The Red House Autonomous Zone, Portland s version of Seattle s short-lived CHAZ, appears to be coming to end after the city issued an apology and promised to not attack supporters of the family that is at the center of a lengthy legal battle.
The Twitter account belonging to the Red House On Mississippi, named for the color of home and street it is located on, posted on Sunday asking for people to come to the area to help take down the barricades that were put in place last week. The mayor has promised the Kinney family that they will not raid Red House as long as the barricades are taken down by Monday night, the account tweeted, noting the city issued an apology.
