This is rad

Portland is also rad

Howdy. Have you ever visited Portland? If not, you should.

Why? Because:

• We ride bikes
• We have good food
• Powell's Books is awesome
• Sometimes schools close for "bad weather" when it's actually sunny and warm outside

A bunch of bridges

There are lot of bridges in this town. From north to south:

1. St. Johns Bridge
2. Ross Island Bridge
3. Fremont Bridge
4. Broadway Bridge
5. Steel Bridge
6. Burnside Bridge
7. Morrison Bridge
8. Hawthorne Bridge
9. Marquam Bridge
10. Ross Island Bridge
11. Sellwood Bridge

And we're getting a pedestrian- and bike-only bridge! It's currently under construction but should be complete in 2014.

on the window ledge too long.
Cold soup. Cold winter.
