Ah, Portland. My sweet home, changing so fast and leaving me with so many mixed feelings. I started this website back in 2007, when I felt like Portland could use a little more affection. Then I went through a phase of feeling like Portland was loved to death. And I guess I’m now coming out the other side, and wanting share my affection for this dear place.

So this site is stuff about Portland. Old and new.

If I can relatively easily reach a place from Pioneer Courthouse Square using my feet, a bicycle, or public transit, I declare it to be central Portland!
