"GRASS POLLEN IS VERY HIGH, even as the area's weather forecast remains cloudy and cool for the next few days. Expect rain on Saturday before a springy mix sweeps in next week, bringing super changeable days of cloud, sun, drizzle, and even a little 80-degree heat."
"The Mercury's first dedicated music issue since the pandemic hit the web THIS MORNING-but it's already on stands around Portland-and inside you'll find a robust guide to Portland's summer music festivals, local artists sounding off about their favorite snackeries, and the story behind the duo who rescued beloved community venue Turn! Turn! Turn! FROM THE JAWS OF DEATH!"
"Mercury Music Picks. Of course they're amped about the Music Issue launch party tonight at Turn! Turn! Turn! but they're also shoutin' Carlos Niño is at Jack London Revue, Cyberplasm at High Limit Room and much more!"
"Portland's arts tax may soon grow from $35 to $50-though not if Portland Metro Chamber (the outrage formerly known as Portland Business Alliance) has anything to sue about it. The large, influential business organization sent a letter to Portland city councilors warning them that city lawmakers have no authority over taxes without voter approval."
