Yesterday's trip around the blogosphere provided Portland neighborhood news that was awesome and, um, not so awesome: the release of The Sentinel's January '09 Street Edition (it's the AWESOME issue!); the pervasive influence of architect A.E. Doyle on Portland ( the recent decision to demolish Doyle's Riverdale Grade School : not so awesome ); restaurant reviews of Chez Joly in the Pearl and Firehouse in Woodlawn (final vote on awesomeness of said establishments: YOURS); controversy over the Sellwood Bridge; and flooding in SE Portland (NOT awesome). Today's photo, courtesy of The Sentinel: awesome!

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?

Welcome to 2009! The New Year starts off with a breath of fresh air: no smoking in all workplaces —including bars! We also have some good news about a local restaurant , and Brian Libby at Portland Architecture offers a look back at the year in Portland architecture. Lastly, if you're looking for something relaxing to do: Portland Parks provides a list of parks to do some bird watching. So, find some time—between the rain and snow—go for a walk and try to spot a belted kingfisher or hooded merganser . (photo: Pete Baer )

Here's our list of interesting links from over the weekend. While the weather is not the best, it's still possible get out and support your local businesses. With a little careful driving and common sense, it's really not that difficult to get around. If you don't want to drive, get out and walk. It's been a tough year for local businesses—an essential ingredient of the 20 minute neighborhood —so, get out and show 'em some love.

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
