    I LOVE the OHS. And I wish they could move into much bigger quarters so they could display all the stuff they have. I'd love to see it all. Maybe I should be volunteering there....

    Fez, I just spent almost 2 hours scrolling through All Things Portland. I absolutely loved all the photos, conceptual drawings, etc, etc that you posted. Thank you for that. I absolutely enjoyed every minute....not to mention the comments from the peanut gallery.

    unless it's a hipster baseball stadium, looks like that won't be the location for the new stadium.

    It always seemed to me that there were too many moving parts to ever make it work as a stadium site.

    What about the PPS property? I thought the MLB stadium at the MC site would be too tight a fit to make it work.

    Yeah. And at the height of this recent economic boom the Multnomah County Area has been experiencing lately. What is the local commerce department's slogan for Stumptown, "Slip Away From the Mainstream - at 11 Bucks An Hour"

    This is a really cool site that I use for work. If you're interested in keeping track of what's going on, or you see something in your neighborhood and you're curious about the project.
