On the Elephant (in your room)

Thursday, December 17, 2009

Yes, it’s been a while, but I’ve decided that a “reporting blog” is a brutal business. Thus, the elephant in your room, that is, my lack of posts over these past three months, needs to be addressed.
Accordingly, I’ve decided to post more of my thoughts on Portland here on PDXme, rather than going through the [...]

PDXppl: Chris Stevens on the “Oregon Stag” Shirt

Tuesday, September 15, 2009

PDXppl is a series of profiles of Portlanders and area residents and what they do.
In any city, flashy marketing tends to take off more than in other localities. Take the “I ♥ NY” shirt or any sports team products as prime examples. Here in Oregon, we’ve come across one such example of a product as [...]

Amtrak and Improving Bicycle Connectivity for Portland

Thursday, August 6, 2009

This past weekend I took a trip up to Portland from Eugene with my bike. I really appreciate the fact that I can bring my bike on the train, as it gives me the choice to do whatever I like when I arrive at Union Station. Upon arrival, one can bike to the nearest bus line to [...]

PDXpoesy: Marshall McFarland, A City’s Eyes

Thursday, July 23, 2009

When I started the PDXpoesy of PDXme, I didn’t how I would approach posting other people’s poetry. How would I introduce it? What would be its subject matter? I would think Portland. But no less, a good friend of mine here at the University of Oregon, and a graduate of Lincoln High School, Marshall McFarland, [...]

On Signs & Towers

Wednesday, July 8, 2009

As a relatively new blog, I’ve been playing catch-up on Portland hot topics. The “Made in Oregon” sign sparked a controversy which culminated in a shouting match between City Commissioner Randy Leonard and former President of the University of Oregon (UO), Dave Frohnmayer.

The Suburbanites

Tuesday, July 7, 2009
