Happy Fourth of July!

by djtv

This morning I kept seeing flashes of kids with all kinds of red, white and blue racing in the same direction. I stopped some of them and snapped their photo to find out what was going on. Turns out the local elementary school was having a Fourth of July Parade. It made me feel like [...]

What’s In A Name?

by CamiKaos

As I look around the city and see new construction stretching from bustling downtown to sleepy little neighborhoods I can’t help but wonder how each place is going to draw the attention of the masses.  Get a foothold.  Take a step forward and get noticed.  The responsible (and fashionable) way to do it is to [...]

Happy Birthday To Us!

by Betsy Richter

Just over a year ago*, a few of us stumbled out from the wings and onto the stage — we were the proverbial kids in the barn, putting on a show for y’all as Portland’s latest group blog. And it seems appropriate that I commandeer the 1000th post on OurPDX to make a celebratory [...]

RENT at Keller Auditorium

by Dieselboi

Last night, I had the pleasure of seeing the award winning musical RENT. This was my first time seeing the show even though I have heard many of the songs throughout the years. RENT is here in Portland with members of the Original Broadway cast- Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp. Being as ignorant as [...]

More PDX Limericks

by PAgent

I’m afraid it’s that time again. Time to dust off your rhyming dictionary and bust out some locally-themed limericks. The last time we did this we got some great responses. So, to get you started:

Star Wars Lego display @ Sunlan Lighting

Last week while walking home up N. Mississippi, I stopped and took in Sunlan lighting’s latest window display - Dennis Newell’s personal Star Wars Lego collection. And what a collection it is. It appears Dennis has been building Lego models based on Star Wars for many years. So many memories. Granted, [...]

Parking Garage Nostalgia

by CamiKaos

I was still 17 when I moved to Portland at the beginning of 1995 to live with a boyfriend who was going to college here.  I was a jaded youth but still young and simple enough to be impressed by the fact that I was living in a city as opposed to a suburb or [...]

Street of Dreams

by Jeremy Towsey-French

The quest to rename a Portland City street to Cesar E. Chavez Boulevard has rumbled on for two years –testing the City’s collective patience. What was once a somewhat well-honed, targeted effort to rename Interstate Avenue after the late workers’ rights advocate, has turned into an attempt to rename the street-of-least-resistance –whatever street that may [...]
