The Blind Cafe Portland
[tentblogger-youtube nWZw1FoXSdM] The Portland Blind Cafe will once again be raising awareness, money and creating a truly unique experience for all those who attend this Friday and Saturday June 15-16th in Southeast Portland.

Instead, I walked away with an experience that will be remembered vividly for the rest of my life. A brief overview of the evenings happenings. This will in no way ruin your experience but if you’d rather stay “in the...

Read MoreTweed, Yes Indeed.
The Tweed Ride seems so appealing to me. So civil and proper and whimsical. “We shall fashionable spin at leisure through our Rose City, noting the several sides of culture. Therefore, bring out your coats and caps, your leather gloves and monocles, and bring your baskets full of food as we pedal together without labor, strain or hurry in what is sure to be one-another’s beautiful company.” Oh dear, I can hear my British accent begging to come out even as I am typing. April 1st will commence the 3rd annual Portland Tweed Ride. The Tweed Ride is a group bicycle ride in...
