PORTLAND FREEZE WORSE THAN SEATTLE?

February 5, 2023 by

The Portland Freeze that didn’t happen came when I moved to NW Portland. My apartment building was a busy place to live for students and professionals. The pretty lady who sold text books always looked like she just stepped out of Vogue. She was in a class of her own. And chilly. Hey Patricia. But […]

February 4, 2023 by

The Seattle Freeze in February isn’t about the weather. It’s not about the weather in July or August, either. If it’s not freezing weather, then what is it? Attitude, a chilly attitude.

SEATTLE STYLE: WHERE THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST BEGINS

August 27, 2022 by

Seattle style is a picture artists could paint and it wouldn’t look like Portland. But the comparisons never end. Get on the whine line and listen. Seattle traffic, Seattle housing, Seattle expansion. Look down the road and hear the same thing about Portland traffic, Portland housing, Portland expansion.

Turning Portland skyline The First Interstate Tower and Big Pink set a future that didn’t happen. Concerned citizens got a break before turning Portland into mini-Seattle One tall building was enough, or so the thought went, but two is better?

SPACE NEEDLE BECOMES LAMP POST IF SEATTLE GROWS THE WRONG DIRECTION

July 21, 2017 by

    Reading right to left the image of Seattle changes from working port town Seattle to big league sports town Seattle to gorgeous big-city-over-water skyline Seattle, the equal to any world center.

SEATTLE WORKS HARD FOR THE TOP SPOT

July 17, 2017 by

    A money man gave me the short history of how important places draw the right people to them, how they work. In the emerging Industrial Revolution world London was the center of the universe. Anyone with dreams and aspirations of being somebody, of one day being The Man, moved to London. Things changed […]

February 6, 2014 by

How To Be A Media Star In Seattle

January 22, 2014 by

Richard Sherman Takes A Bow. For all the sweet talk between opponents, no one except the Seahawks and their fans embrace the Seattle cornerback. He plays an isolation position and seems to live the same way. Don’t mistake this man for Pacman Jones and the ‘scrip club’ rain. Don’t put him with Hollywood Henderson, the […]

Baby Boomer Adopts The Seattle Seahawks

October 1, 2013 by

Dave And A Sports Fan Family. The distance between Seattle and Portland shrinks every fall Sunday. So does the gap between big brother to the north and little brother during the NFL season.
