Notes of Interest » January 5

It's always great to give and receive props. Yesterday, the news was full of 'em: props of presidential proportion were bestowed on Portland's Get A Life Marching Band —they'll march in the inaugural parade; Mayor Adams gave props to Portlanders in his first mayoral address; Willamette Week showed a little love to Old Spaghetti Factory ; Hollywood Theater was given a special designation by Sundance Film Festival; and City Council got a little LUBA-love in support of their decision to make David Douglas a satellite urban renewal district. photo: Christmas w/a K

Notes of Interest » January 2–4
by pearlgirl
Good morning, 2009! Okay. I totally get that it's like, um, January 4—but, we've been been away from the office since Christmas Eve. It feels shiny and new to us! And, here's another thing that's new: optimism. This weekend's news was full of it: new city officials are being sworn in; a local dance company gets a new space; the bid deadline for the new park in South Waterfront was extended; and a local retailer gets a mention in Lucky Magazine. All reasons to celebrate. We like this new optimism. We'll definitely keep you posted. photo: We have the world's first pedicab peddling mayor. Cool, huh?

Notes of Interest » Weekend Recap
by pearlgirl
The weekend recap has some real gems: Santas on the loose in North Portland, a review of Bunk Sandwiches in Buckman, the friendliest store in Portland under siege by a not-so-friendly competitor, the convention center hotel proposal for the Lloyd District is on life support, and Old Town Chinatown's PHLUSH has launched a neighborhood hospitality campaign in honor of the new Portland loos. As Portland Turns, so are the days of our lives. Happy reading! photo: Portland Sentinel

Brian Libby is a mindreader. I've wanted to peek inside Hakoya Lofts on North Williams for a while now, and he published an article about it yesterday on Portland Architecture . It's definitely a 'note of interest' and we hope you enjoy it. photo: Brian Libby

Weekend Bookmarks » Things You May Have Missed (Nov 22 & 23)
by pearlgirl
Just in case you missed them, we found four Portland-related tidbits this weekend: a glowing review of Marc Acito's Holidazed , renewed excitement over Kenton's new public library, handy tips for vegans hosting carnivores for Thanksgiving, and the adventures of 156 volunteers in Hosford-Abernethy. Very satisfying reads.

Notes of Interest » November 20 Bookmarks

The daily news is pretty bleak these days, but yesterday we found four Portland-related articles that gave our spirits a lift: There are two new restaurants—one in Sellwood-Moreland and the other in NW District —whose value-priced menus are getting good reviews. Beaumont Middle School offers a unique mentorship program that pairs community members with struggling students—with fantastic results! The "crown jewel" of the Portland skateboard park system is planned for Old Town Chinatown. Yesterday, the City issued a request for proposal for a skateboard park builder and designer. The Community Cycling Center is launching a new project in 2009 to reach underserved communities in North and Northeast Portland. It's great to see new development, new businesses and new community service projects in Portland neighborhoods, don't you think? Read all about it in the links below. photo: daily journal of commerce <a href="http://

Yesterday's news highlights were a tad bittersweet: a touching tribute to the life and times of Genoa (closing on Saturday after 38 years in business), Peacock Lane embraces a new holiday tradition, OMSI announces staff cuts (after sharing its expansion plans over the weekend), and the bike boulevard planned for NE Going Street has received overwhelming resident support. What a difference a little time makes, huh? photo: Oregonian <a href="http://ma.gnolia.com/groups/NN" mce_href="http://ma.gnolia.com/groups/NN" rel="me" title="Visit me on Ma.gnolia">Visit me on Ma.gnolia</a> Check out all of our bookmarks on ma.gnolia
