April 1, 2017 by

  Beaverton sees Portland as a necessity of suburban life. They need a city nearby But it doesn’t work the other way around.

COLIN COWHERD IN PORTLAND

November 27, 2015 by

When a man moves from east coast to west, two things happen. One if you’re Colin Cowherd. I am a fan of sports talk radio. Why? Because there’s no place in all of media that plays voices from all over America. Mostly man voices, and it was mostly men who attended Colin Cowherd’s book signing […]
