Portland Makes NYT List of 31 Summer Stops
by pearlgirl
The New York Times has named 31 interesting places to visit this summer. Portland made the list as a foodie haven: "As far as foodie havens go, Portland has been better known for its vegan cafes and eco-hippie cooperatives than for restaurants with gastronomic ambitions. But an emerging locavore movement has changed that. Drawn by the city’s low rents and artsy vibe, young chefs are breaking the culinary mold and tapping into the Northwestern bounty of local fisheries, small meat purveyors and artisanal farms. Sample the heat at places like Clyde Common (Southwest 10th and Stark; 503-228-3333; www.clydecommon.com ), which serves novel dishes like crispy pork belly with blood orange marmalade." How do you sell a trip to Portland to your family and friends? Read the full article

Mt. Tabor Park access plan stirs neighborhood
by pearlgirl
From the Portland Tribune... Changes are afoot at the southern edge of Mt. Tabor Park, but this time Portland Parks and Recreation is bending over backwards to accommodate nearby residents. Two years ago, Mount Tabor residents foiled the parks bureau’s plan to sell off its central parks maintenance yard on Southeast Division Street to neighboring Warner Pacific College, which wanted the land for athletic fields. After the neighbors mobilized, the bureau backed down and agreed to renovate its antiquated maintenance yard and adjoining nursery at their locations in the park’s southwest corner. Under a 2007 agreement reached via mediation with the Mount Tabor and South Tabor neighborhood associations, the city created a 34-member committee to plan the project. Read the full article I'd love to hear from residents of both neighborhoods and get their feedback on the access plan. What do you think about it?

Mt. Tabor Mains to be Flushed Late May to October
by pearlgirl
The Water Bureau has plans to flush 66 miles of the mains, which service the Mt. Tabor reservoirs, beginning Monday morning. Flushing mains is a weather-dependent activity, but should take approximately 94 business days, or until about October 2008.Water Bureau crews will flush up to 950 gallons of water per minute through the mains, in order to clean out accumulated sediment. Cleaning the mains regularly helps to maintain superior water quality.
The Water Bureau asks that residents or businesses who see a flushing crew on their street not run water unless absolutely necessary. If residents experience some slight discoloration in their water, there is no need to be alarmed. Simply turn on each cold water faucet in the home or business and allow it to run for several minutes. The temporary discoloration will most likely clear up. No Water Bureau customers will be without water during flushing. If, however, you experience ongoing problems with your wate

Block Parties and Neighborhood Cleanups on the horizon
by pearlgirl
It’s that time of year again with the days getting longer and the spring flowers showing their colors, that we begin to think about brushing off the doldrums of winter.
What better way to emerge from the long winter nights than to attend a neighborhood clean up or start planning your neighborhood’s block party? Information on block parties: http://southeastuplift.org/?q=block_parties
