Last Thursday on Alberta
[raw][easyrotator]erc_54_1341267297[/easyrotator][/raw] Last Thursday On Alberta is an epic block party held every, you guessed it, last Thursday of the month! What started out 13 years ago as an event to highlight the local galleries has morphed into a celebration of community and all forms of art. Many people have branded Last Thursday as the “fun sister” of the 2 monthly Thursday festivals. You know, the one who is always on the verge of trouble, full of shenanigans, unpredictable and never dull or boring. I will agree that Last Thursday is all of those things but I would...
Read MoreA Night At The Heathman Hotel a la Fifty Shades of Grey
50 Shades of Grey, the hottest thing out in mommy-world since the magic eraser hit the shelves at Target! Even my mother texted me to ask if I had heard about these books. I reluctantly asked if she knew what they were about and when she replied with an enthusiastic Yes!, I ended the conversation. Then she asked if she could borrow my books! Yes I have them, and yes I read them- all three. I read the first book in Cabo. I kept rereading the pages not because of the crazy, pretzel twisting, eye-rolling, lip-biting, tie-her-up like he’s a rodeo cowboy and she’s the calf...

Read MoreGood Food, Ghosts and Hideaways!
While collecting content for Portland’s Funky & Fabulous Bathrooms book, I uncover some really fascinating insights into many of our well-known and well-loved establishments, like NorthWest Public (NWPH) House on Kearney and 23rd. If you haven’t been yet, he’s a brief description to help you visualize. The house is a two-level craftsman home built in 1906. In 2011 the house opened as a gastropub / sports lounge. Three outdoor decks and 12 HDTV’s, can you say great place to soak up some sun or take in a game! Moving on to the fascinating insights. Like so many establishments in...
Read MoreA Historical Look at Powell’s Books
It never fails, I think to myself: I’m going to run into Powell’s to pick up this specific book and be on my way. Turns out to be exactly like saying “I’m just going to run into Target to buy shampoo” – $80 later and 3 bags full of items, other than shampoo, are in your trunk. Powell’s has a way of persuading you to stay and linger long after you have your sought after book in hand. If you don’t stay focused on your mission and you happen to look up, you are quickly drawn to rows and rows of books, stairs that entice you to see where they lead, rooms and rooms of color,...
