Javelina, the first Indigenous restaurant in Portland, is moving to a more spacious location after facing challenges in its current small premises, which limited its ability to serve the community. The owners, Alexa and Nick Numkena-Anderson, view the new location as essential for expanding their menu, increasing seating capacity, and fulfilling their vision of being a gathering place. Meanwhile, a new sports bar called Sticky Wicket is set to open in St. Johns, catering to cricket fans in Portland, while Urban Gleaners promotes sustainability by repurposing food waste from local establishments.

Sticky Wicket's owner aims to establish a hub for Portland's cricket fans, providing a venue for non-mainstream sports and focusing on British and Indian pub food.
Urban Gleaners will host a fund event to benefit its mission of 'upcycling' food waste collected from local restaurants and grocery stores, promoting sustainability.
