Neighborhood Notes

Neighborhood Notes would like to thank our generous sponsors for making this site possible. These local sponsors facilitate our news, commentary and events about YOUR neighborhood—so, show 'em a little love! Each week, we'll offer up some virtual gratitude, and give our readers a little tidbit about each of these local businesses. As you might have guessed, this means giving back to you with special deals, info or events. Enjoy!

 Nolita knows jeans. And Nolita knows a good deal when we see one.

So, we'd like to introduce [City of Others]... This new denim line for men and women offers a youthful attitude with a mature outlook. These jeans are not only a great fit, but they are a bargain to boot ($100)! And they are designed with the same fit as Hudson jeans.

City of Others also gives you the option to donate a portion of the proceeds from your purchase to a charity organization of your choice by entering a code from their tag online. - Good lookin' out!

Since we are among the first in Portland, Oregon to carry this awesome line we invite you to join us in our enthusiasm for a new, and globally responsible company. With an awesome rear end.

Visit Nolita's blog and find out how to save some dough on purchases before 10/31.

Menu: Pacific Village beef burger or portobello on New Seasons Market bun served with baked beans, an apple and a Zevia soda or water. $6
