among the very cool super excellent things happening in portland, which we are discovering in the process of moving here, are a few of the places we’ve spent dead presidents in the last week:
- Citybikes worker owned cooperative (on Ankeny at 7th and also 19th, whose website must be down??)
- the expanding and wonderful People’s Food Store (on SE 21st, whose teleport, um make that earthlink site is also down)
- the recently opened Alberta Co-op Grocery (on NE Alberta, of all places)
- the super grassroots Comunity Cycling Center, also on NE Alberta.
- La Cruda, which for a gringo-operated mexican restaurant has really good food, and the menu is very veggie and vegan-friendly and contrary to the one bad review at that site, the service we had there today was great. [edit -- la cruda is no more, now you'll find there the lovely if slightly full of itself savoy tavern and bistro]
- even though the archives are not working perfectly, see the other places we’ve recently blogged about in portland. that’s an incentive for me to get the archives working right. grr.
anyhow, i’ts most exciting to be moving up now to puddletown, and we’ve tested out 3 of the 5 official off-leash dog parks and they are all pretty good. perhaps a more full report on that after we’ve fully settled in and tried them all. woof!
