Yesterday's news was chock full of things Portlanders are passionate about: bikes, art, technology and beer. I guess you'd call it a good news day, right? News for bike lovers : the bike community helped land the Boise neighborhood on the pages of Sunset Magazine , and there's a new 'vintage inspired' bike apparel designer in Buckman. For art aficionados : PORT has released their picks for First Thursday—don't let the fact that January 8 is actually second Thursday fool you. Oh, it's ON! Geek news: Local social networks were given a tip of the hat on OPB—including our friends at PDXdog.com !!! For those of you who are still trying to locate the blogosphere, there's a new user group in town that can help you with your blogging needs. For beer lovers : Rogue has produced a limited edition of Jazz Guy Ale for the Portland Jazz Festival . Jazz Guy Ale will be available February 1. Mark your calendars!

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?

While watching the snow melt over the holiday weekend, we did a little scanning of local news stories. You'll find our list of interesting news links below. The photo is an aerial shot of the Swan Island wind tunnel mentioned in one of the stories. The reason it was built on the lagoon is that the water acts as a filter, removing particles from the air before it enters the air intake (the black square on the end of the building). How this works I'm not exactly sure, but that's what I've been told. If anyone can explain this please comment!

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
