A MAY WEDDING AND ONE LOUD, “I DO,” LATER

May 10, 2017 by David Gillaspie

BEAVERTON, PORTLAND’S EASTSIDE FOR ADULTS

April 1, 2017 by David Gillaspie

Beaverton sees Portland as a necessity of suburban life. They need a city nearby But it doesn’t work the other way around. Portland sees Beaverton in the same lot as Tigard, Lake Oswego, Gresham, even Vancouver. Suburbs feeding off the urban tube. You can defend any town, but a suburb takes more thought. Start […]

THE BOOMER END OF THE SPEEDO CHALLENGE

March 2, 2017 by David Gillaspie

Any challenge but the Speedo Challenge? Even without a dashing, single-ski dock start, or the dive team Speedo, the man carried a lethal air. He looked like he could fight death and fear, and win. It made him an icon. Leaping off a houseboat deck rail into thin air with one foot […]
