30 Years of Loving Portland

by Travel Geek

2010 marks an auspicious moment in my life–I have officially been a Portlander for 30 years.  Learning about Portland is somewhat of an obsession for me, and has hit a new height recently, when I was hired as a Travel Advisor for Travel Oregon.  I work at the Oregon Welcome Center at Portland International Airport, [...]

A Little Evening Buzz

by zanger

I have a long-standing rule: no coffee after 11am.
Unless, of course, it is accompanied by delicious chocolate. Come to think of it, I’m good with chocolate just about any time of the day.
So, it was clear I couldn’t resist heading over to Slow Food Portland’s “From Bean to Buzz: Coffee + Chocolate Tasting” at Ecotrust [...]

Another Bet Lost: Nuts

by zanger

Being half Italian, I seem to have this gene that precludes me from not making wagers.
Seahawks in the Super Bowl this year? Sure, I’ll take that.
Partly cloudy and 43 degrees? Yeah, I’ll take that one too.
As you can guess, I don’t win very much. But, when I do make these little forays into competitive guessing, [...]

PDX Metro Region Grows Food for the State

by Betsy Richter

Did you know that Portland Metro area contributes 1/5th of the total share of agriculture production value for the entire state? I certainly didn’t. So it stands to reason that any adjustments to the urban growth boundary not only has an impact on our region’s livability, but the entire state’s diet, no? [...]

It’s All Greek To Me

by Cosmic Charlie

The cleanup of River City continues.
A strong rumor floating around the downtown core states that this upcoming weekend will be the last for the infamous Greek Cusina. The hit squad has apparently won. The ongoing battles between the city and owner Ted Papas are well documented (read this or that for more background). But whether [...]

And the Holiday Merriment Continues…

by Betsy Richter

I love this time of year. Even though I don’t much celebrate the Xmas thing, I certainly manage to get invited to events or gatherings that don’t require that I flash my credentials at the door. And that whole “peace and goodwill towards others” scene? I can get into that…
I met up [...]

Pseudo-Southern Hillbilly Redneck Weekend

by Cosmic Charlie

YEEHAW!
As I compiled the list of things to do this weekend, I noticed a theme forming. What with all the warm rainy weather a week from Christmas, my activities took on a southern feel. So, chomp down on a piece of hay, fire up the El Camino and ride along. We gonna have us a [...]

Blossoming Lotus Irvington

by Amye

Portland wins again. A friend with food allergies came to visit this weekend, and in most other cities, eating out is a real challenge. In Portland, eating out when you’re interested in vegan/raw/gluten-free is a lot easier.
At Blossoming Lotus Irvington, she took a look at the menu and said, “I can eat everything on [...]

(no longer) LIVE! It’s the 2nd Media Circus Extravaganza!

by Betsy Richter

…later…
As threatened, hereare the results (the ones that weren’t as blurry, anyway) of my own random iPhone crowd shots. Yes, I realize I’m probably one of the worst photographers around — but as I often say to my children: “You get what you get and you don’t pitch a fit.” Deal.

(Yes, that’s [...]

SLL: Get Your Geek on With Foodgeeks

by CamiKaos

In the Portland Tech community it is unheard of not to have a side project, something that you love to do but that doesn’t fit squarely into the tech industry or has nothing to do with your day job. Many of us have multiple labors of love. Ryan Snyder, creator of Foodgeeks.com is [...]
