Nosy wonky Portlander. Keeping tabs on our elected leaders both locally and nationally. Unions for all workers! I like taking pictures.
I've reached the "I don't even understand stage." Where's the opposition, the frantically filed lawsuits, the outrage directed at our tech companies capitulation after we provided excessive tax breaks and highly skilled workforces to accommodate their growth.

I don't know who you are, The Stumptown Scallion, but you are one of the best things in Portland!

I know this is satire, but I'd be damned if I didn't think this was an amazing idea. Buying a pint of Hoods on my way home from vacation in May, or grabbing a bag of peaches in July to take to my family in Hotlanta to show them, ours are truly better! 😜

Progress is often hard. There's so few things left that feel so authentic and untouched anymore. I mourn the loss of something so quirky and Oregon, but celebrate the building that will be saved, and that the original theme will be honored.

Friday night blues = discovering new tunes. Amazing new drop from Al Green from a terrific song from R.E.M.
"Recording ‘Everybody Hurts,' I could really feel the heaviness of the song, and I wanted to inject a little touch of hope and light into it. There’s always a presence of light that can break through those times of darkness.” - Al Green

One of my hobbies I enjoy most is traveling and finding new experiences to photograph. This past Monday I visited Ruby Falls outside of Chattanooga, TN, and was mouth dropped in awe to witness what had been on my bucket list for decades!
