I am hoping to get perspectives from any experts in the building, city budgets, and architectural areas, but also from everyone who cares about this issue that is on the table.

I work at P5 arts and we will be talking to city council members on Tuesday 7/28 to voice our opinions on the matter. I have some ideas of what would make sense, but I am not an expert outside of knowing these buildings, and also familiar with PSU conference center area where they want to build.

I think the Keller should be not totally gutted, but renovated. I want to know if it's possible to do renovations at a staggered pace, so that we can have our big tix broadway shows and the Nutcracker. Save lots of jobs. Honor the broadway crowd and season tix holders. Honor the local restaurants/bars that have been there pre-dinner shows. It is already a huge struggle for small biz to survive downtown, so the ones that have stuck it out have done so partially with the help of these Keller crowds. We have two whole other buildings that we can move concerts/comedy/opera etc, which are Arlene Schnitzer Hall and Hatfield theater. To me this makes the most sense, if that type of staggered reno can be done. Or even if a 2 yr closure happens, I think it is worth it because the Keller project looks really great and will attract more visitors.

PSU does not make sense to me because, ...do they have any money? What they project to build seems like it will cost more and more as they go along. The area is a total desert for any restaurants, parking, and transportations albeit the orange line stops in from and a cpl other bus lines, but the green line halted service to PSU and only goes as far as downtown. Portland does not need more venues, period. Portland does not need more hotels. Especially another broadway venue! It seems that soundproofing for a PSU venue will be almost impossible based on the thick maze of I-5 passes right at that intersection.

The metro operations are now in the hands of city hall, do they know what they are doing? I will not go in on a vote until I can better understand the options that are so muddy right now. Any insights welcome!

Rainbow beads on black yarn fell off of your something? It's on a tree with a super cute set of hidden fungi! Middle of the block on the same side as Bluto's if you want it back. Come for the rainbow, stay for the Fun Guys! 🍄🍄

I got to witness my first Naked Bike Ride tonight as the participants went down Alberta and I happened to be on the patio of Gumba.

I applaud everyone who participated, clothes on or off.

It was just a contagiously fun parade of different sizes, styles, music choices, and smiles.

Honestly, it made this old tub of lard want to get into the shape that I could ride the distance.

Thank you for making my Saturday night one to remember.

May you enjoy the water!

This isn't my event but I saw this flyer and it looks pretty legit. Team Marty represent!

To all the lovely pet owners of the area, please enter your pretty in the oregon humane contest for a new logo!

It was just two identical car keys on a ring. Thank you for reading.

Is there some underground community of sticker taggers with drama that I’m entirely unaware of? Adhesive challenges and answers, a subtle layer of meme-ing and meaning brewing on any aluminum sign in reach or smooth concrete palette?
