Nothing, absolutely nothing, turns people into the most ghoulish versions of themselves like threats, real or perceived, to one's property.

Shredded paper is especially difficult to recycle, so many programs will not accept it. Shredding accelerates fiber shortening and lowers the paper grade from high-grade to mixed-grade. Mixed-grade paper is still recyclable, but it ends up baled and processed into products like paper towels and packing paper.

WolfBrown found that Eugene had an abundance of art; however, the town needed more support from the business sector. The results showed that "we punched above our weight for a community our size," said Kelly Johnson, executive director of the nonprofit Arts & Business Alliance of Eugene, which the city created in 2008 to link the arts and business communities.

I wanted something that felt a little more freaky within the town while still honoring its history. Her vision was a retreat that encouraged guests to embrace their weirdness and put it on display. Dev imagined an aesthetic loosely inspired by an old circus, hearkening to a place where everyone is accepted and eccentricity is the norm.

Upon entry, Kent's "IF" (1965) lures the eye upward. The serigraph-a silkscreen print in fine art parlance-hangs high on the wall with a subtle vulnerability. Two orange letters hover toward the composition's top edge, as if pushing to transcend the picture plane. A feeling of possibility emerges through the conjunction and its visual form.

A piece of República will always live in each of you. The doors may close tonight - but what you built here will never disappear. Owner Angel Medina and co-owner Olivia Bartruff expressed gratitude to staff following the Pearl District restaurant's final service on March 8, acknowledging the lasting impact of the team's contributions to the celebrated Mexico-forward dining concept.

We can find a middle ground. PSU could reduce the size of its planned theater to between 800 and 1,200 seats, clearing the way for the Keller to be remodeled as a mid-size 1,500 to 1,800 seat venue.

Playwright Mikki Gillette—described once as 'the Joan of Arc of the trans community in Portland theatre' by actor and critic Bobby Burmea—sets the work in the lead-up to and immediate aftermath of the 1966 Compton's Cafeteria Riot. We're dropped into the lives of four trans people practically begging the world to care about their pain, but with very different ways of approaching a brighter future.

We already pay the bulk of the TriMet operating budget through (mostly employment) taxes (49%), federal operating grants (13%), state and local revenue (8%). That's a total of 70% that everybody has already paid—even folks who aren't passengers. Passenger revenue only covers 6% of the TriMet budget.

The initial offense could have maintained a shield of plausible deniability- dismissed as an unfortunate use of a common phrase between people when having a misunderstanding. Instead the Duolingo-style apology, in which Nolan noted that they "disrespected [his] heritage," read as cringeworthy; becoming a case study in a common affliction that befalls my hometown-called "Portland Nice™."

You know, how on a crystal autumn morning everything seems lit up from within, the air sharp as glass, everyone grinning at the startling poem of it all? Then it begins to rain and by the middle of the afternoon it's still raining, and I go for a walk and my shoes get soaked and for the life of me I can't find my umbrella, and I realize with a sinking feeling that The Wet is upon me, moist and insistent.

Skeptics have suggested the universal preschool tax was driving high-income earners out of Multnomah County. The latest data doesn't support that notion.

A mind numbing amount of thought has gone into this on the part of the PPD, our bureaus, and the applicant. The transformation of the area from a less than penetrable megablock to an area with permeability represents significant urban planning progress, with potential for thousands of new housing units in the redeveloped space.

The Notebook is ultimately a celebration of life, love, and the power of memory. Audiences first fell in love with this timeless story as a novel, then as an iconic film, and now they can experience it anew as a moving musical event.

PLC announces the retirement of its Artistic Director, Mary McCarty, following 11 years of inspired leadership and artistic excellence.

Urban Renaissance, the real estate development group that partly owns the mall, has a vision for what comes after demolition. The group's Lloyd Center Central City Master Plan wipes the venerable mall from the map in favor of development that will be familiar to most Portlanders: an intersecting street grid with green space and mixed-used architecture.

People have been hearing about this or seeing it for months now. Now, finally this summer, we'll be able to share it. We absolutely believe we're honoring Rick and his legacy as an art educator. The whole area has been transformed because of the Bartow studio. It's amazing. The anticipation level is through the roof.

There's love, all the time beside me, its rolling tides polishing jagged moments with surprise apologies silly jokes extra snacks and the great luck of seeing a heart switch on the light that opens a locked-down face. There are landmarks: each person I've loved each one who loved me-quirky waves we've ridden together.

I will tell everyone we are committed to that facility staying open. A lot of our residents, community members who are seeking federal assistance through immigration have to use this facility, and we want to make sure that facility is still an option for people to be able to use. Because if that facility is closed, people have to go across state lines to actually have those services provided.

The Portland City Council has tried to intervene by passing a detention center fee ordinance in December 2025. It was intended to address public nuisance impacts associated with detention facilities-particularly those that draw protests-by effectively putting a cost on contamination and health hazards from tear gas and other munitions law enforcement deploys on protesters.

Critics fear the administration could make the law legally vulnerable if it pushes through weak rules, even if they are temporary, and they don't want a judge to overturn it in a legal proceeding just because the administration didn't let city staff do their homework.

We will quickly file a new initiative to fix a single typographical error and nothing more in the initiative. We are confident we have the time and resources to collect the required signatures to qualify for the ballot.

I think that the most important feature of theater is the act itself. It's not actually what is said or what is done. It's not the plot or the storyline. It's the act of gathering human beings in space and time together to experience something.

The Keller is profitable, popular, and central to downtown's recovery. It is time to stop the time-wasting charade and make a decision that reflects fiscal responsibility and the will of Portlanders.

The Azn Zine Fest is to show Portland there's a fuck-ton of Asian creatives. When we put out the call for vendors, we were like, 'Maybe 30 to 50 people will respond to our call.' We had probably 120 respond.
