KING OF THE HILL IN NORTH BEND, OREGON

People know the place when you say you’re from North Bend. Ask someone where there from and you expect one answer, one place. Then you get this: “I grew up all over the place.” Hear that and know you’ve got someone ashamed of where they’re from. They know the name of their town, they just […]

IN PRAISE OF CANAPRENEURS AND THE OTHER SPOT

Canapreneurs manage risk with cannabis business. The Other Spot was part of it. Who remembers their favorite bar? Was it on a college campus? In your neighborhood? Maybe you’re still looking. Here’s one blogger’s list: J.C. Dobbs, South Street, Philadelphia. Long and narrow with a band playing in the back. It was the ‘go to’ […]

THE OREGON WAY OF OREGON DUCK FOOTBALL FANS

The right Oregon Duck football uniform makes all the difference. The experienced Oregon fan knows the drill by now. It’s not the first post-season, but one that matters more. Someone else plays for the national championship, or the semi-finals to get in. Oregon football made the run last years, right up to the end. This […]

CHIP KELLY TIME SHOWS A SILVER LINING

Do you know what time it is? Chip Kelly time. Football coaches and m0torcylce riders share this in common: They’ve either been fired or crashed, or they’re about to. With Chip Kelly time finished in Philadelphia, you can expect to hear variations of the following: He should have played it safe and stayed in New […]

PORTLAND SPEAKS UP FOR SPECIAL OLYMPICS OREGON

Is the voice for Special Olympics Oregon loud enough? The sports world improves every time it moves ordinary people to do the extraordinary. Like the Richter scale measuring earthquakes, sports are measured by participation and enthusiasm. Special Olympics Oregon changes the sports landscape with fault lines stretching across the state. A survey of SOOR started […]

THE ULTIMATE LETTERMAN JACKET

You can’t win the ultimate letterman jacket, you earn it with Olympian effort. The ultimate letterman jacket doesn’t have a letter. It doesn’t come from a high school or college with a colorful felt vest in school colors, white leather sleeves, and stretch cuffs or collars. Instead, the ultimate letterman jacket comes in soft black […]

C.B. BERNARD CHASES ALASKA

Alaska and C.B. Bernard sing for the Last Frontier. And you. When the wild calls your name, where do you go? If you’re a writer like Cheryl Strayed you hit the Pacific Coast Trail and write a book called Wild. Not the sort of wild you have in mind? Most people understand wild as a […]

DUCK FOOTBALL vs BRIDAL SHOWER

Oregon Duck football shows up against USC, and a bridal shower wins the day. Modern mass media offers every which way to watch a Duck football game. From TV, radio, and online, to actually going to the stadium, I found a new way. It turned out so good I’d do it again, but since it […]

SHARED MUSEUM DREAM

A museum dream from MAC’s big window. Regulars at Portland’s Multnomah Athletic Club walk in with the same stride they have walking into a grocery store. Just another door. But if you haven’t been a regular, as in never been inside, only seen the big window and balcony from the stadium stands, it feels like […]
