Kernside Business Association
By Thomas Gatley
Hello there from the new kid on the block! We founded Kernside Business Association late last year to represent businesses from 12th to 34th avenues, from SE Stark St. to the Banfield, and now number more than 100 members spanning nearly every conceivable product and service. From Hello Sunshine to Goodbye Horses, we’re thrilled to bring together such a wonderful group of independent businesses and watch the energy build.
Early projects include a community mural opposite Laurelhurst Theatre (many thanks to the volunteers from Pacific Crest School), a gorgeous neighborhood map risograph-printed by Outlet, a Beer Keg Strongman competition coming up Saturday, April 12 hosted by Lone Fir Fitness and Inner Beast to celebrate the reopening of Gorges Beer Co. and a Spring Wine Walk on Saturday, April 19, featuring Vino, Montelupo, Pairings, Providore and Parallel. The events are open to the community.
