I never expected to own a home. I wasn't born into generational wealth. I grew up poor. There was-and is-no big family inheritance coming my way. Not property. Not cash. Not stocks or bonds or whatever financial instrument one might trade or sell or leverage to join the landed class.
Greg has been perhaps my biggest supporter of this project since it started. Greg commissioned the first batch of duos. A while back, he asked me how close I was to getting the first half of them done because I'd always talked about doing two volumes, a book one and book two of the forty-four duos, the way Bartók has them in two volumes.
In 2025, Dmae Lo Roberts embarked on a statewide storytelling experience focusing on personal stories from both artists and community members. These stories are a form of living oral history.

I'm a relationship therapist because I really struggled in relationships. I didn't understand that vulnerability was a prerequisite for bonding. It was such a relieving awakening to realize that's where I would be loved the most: putting [my] worst foot forward. I think the kids call it full goblin mode. That really is it.
Oshatz worked on a monumental scale to represent underwater scenes, creating a full stage silk backdrop. He also designed hand painted silk waves that dancers moved across the stage.
This whole "talk about politics on the internet" as if it makes a difference thing? We're still doing this? We think the things we say on the internet matter to literally anyone? We think if we craft the perfect anti-Trump argument, maybe one person will change their mind? I mean listen, go ahead. I'm not saying you shouldn't do it. I'm just saying it's worse than internet porn.
Schacht, originally born in Germany and educated in Europe, moved to Portland in 1883 after the German government claimed his Hamburg home via eminent domain, and he decided to move as far away as possible. While his work over his four-decade career spanned a variety of architectural styles, it has been noted that after 1900, he was "among the first Arts and Crafts-influenced architects to practice west of the Rocky Mountains."
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™."
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.

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.
