Boomer Mayor

June 10, 2013 by

Charlie Hales Marches The Rose Festival Parade The Mayor & I Every year my goal for the Portland Rose Festival Parade starts the same.

Lock And Load, Clear Down Range, Rock And Roll Are Portland baby boomers worried about the firearms debate? From the press the city gets you’d think it hard to fit anything between a free range egg-white omelet, an organic latte, and a happy light session with a book on tape.

BOOMER ON

March 30, 2013 by

YOU KNOW THE SAME FRIENDS AND LIKE THE SAME PLACES Ed, one of the most transcendent of Portland baby boomers, carried the room at a local bar.
