Holiday plans are in process. We’ll print the 5th Annual Holiday Gift Guide, ask our businesses to create lighted window displays, have an Ugly Sweater Stroll for Dogs and their People and a tree-lighting at The Fernie Brae followed by early evening beverage tastings on Saturday, December 2. Details to follow.

A City of Portland Committee that included NO owners of Unreinforced Masonry (URM) buildings is proposing that over 1600 one to three story URM buildings be required to accomplish and pay for significant upgrades. Several of them are on Hawthorne and in nearby business districts. Some Districts will be decimated by the potential sales, demolition and construction of new, quite possibly, out of context structures. Go to Save Portland Buildings saveportlandbuildings.com.

Please read the information, attend the below meetings and write letters to the Commissioners.
