It's in the Name:
There are some telltale signs for recognizing a portal. These signs will sometimes become clear after the fact, but are a good lesson in locating portals in the future. Back in the late 90's I came across the popular Paper Access Portal (note: previously mention on this blog as the foodworks portal). Although one might guffaw at how easily identifiable this portal appears, (referring to the prominently displayed word Access) you would be amazed at how many passersby are unaware of this portal everyday.
Now onto Phil's 17th street coffee portal, we look up, we see the sign outside A.I Friedman. Let's look at this name. A.I. (artificial intelligence?) Friedman (or shall we say 'Freed Man') Yet another fantastic lesson in portal identification.
Set the Drive:
Now, what is a portal without the other side. My cohort in portal identification, Miss Hew, worked a few streets up and was the catalyst to the identification of the Sam Flax Portal. This portal was located based on a need, which is usually the drive pushing a portal user past the imminent danger of getting stuck in a portal. The carrot at the end of this rainbow was an Uncle Moe's burrito. I was able to meet my fellow portian on her side of the Paper Access Portal and my side of the Sam Flax Portal for a tasty treat many times unscathed.
So, keep your eyes open, let the portal uncover itself in a time of need, and keep yourself driven.

Todd, you're a true inspiration to us all. Let's try and bridge the gap between some of these portals. Let us get from 34th street to Toasties using only portals. Dare to dream.
Arriving at Toasties via portal with the smell of spring in the air sounds like a dream. I'll get the first beer.
T-pig, your science is as tight as your dance moves! Welcome to the research project...with your help the dream of a portal connecting 34th street to toasties could become a reality.
