Three years from now, Division Street is going to look a lot different.

City council approved a $7 million plan this morning to rebuild Division Street from 10th Ave to 39th Ave as a more…

It will be nice to get rid of the “sometimes this lane is parking, sometimes this lane is traffic” part of the street, but my big concern with this is the same problem with about any street during rush hour: left-hand turns.  A car turning left can back up traffic for blocks.

Installing left-hand turn signals on the streets with stoplights would help, but I didn’t see any mention in the plan.  Without addressing that issue, I fear traffic is just going to spill over on to Clinton, Brooklyn and other nearby residential streets.

This may not mean much to the world, but today marks my first year in Portland — it’s kind of a big deal for me, considering a year ago today I felt like I was possibly making the biggest mistake of my life and now I can’t see myself being anywhere else right now.  It’s funny how things like that work out.

Celebrations TBD.

Portlanders!

Have ya’ll heard of The Great Interational Day Against Homophobia Kiss-In? It’s at 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 16 at the Pioneer Courthouse Square.

My work schedule is up in the air, but I’m going to do my best to make it. Is anyone else going?

Am I hearing THUNDER in Portland?
Love. Love love love.
It doesn’t happen nearly enough.

I haven’t seen this guy in forever, and let’s just say his visit was a very welcome surprise.

Even from this far away, you can still see those bell bottoms and Farrah Fawcet locks.  Way to go, Portland.

I think my family had a good time in Portland. I miss them already.
