I went to see the Peterson rock gardens when I was eight years old back in 1960 and took my kids in 1980 for their first time and my grandson in 2004 and have enjoyed it every time I’ve went…..fantastic

Hey, Bob: Next time you review parts of Wallowa County, don’t forget to include the cabins, the bed & breakfasts and the vacation rentals as other great places to stay–there are many more of them here than there are motels. –A B&B owner

The Oregonian building has a few elevators. I have recently taken over the family business that my father started back in 1977. We are registered with the city of Portland as an Emerging Small Business. At this time I make the following proposal to you. I will beat what you are paying now by a clean third. And real service on your elevators.

Thanks, Faye. There are a bunch of little tiny ones running around, too, but they were too quick for the camera.

Hi there, I just did a search for Oregon blogs and found yours. I love the baby turkey I see wild ones occasionally but never a young one. Nice catch.

Comment on The Pago-Pago in downtown Portland by NoJo

Current paperwork shows that the mid-block location of the Pago-Pago on Stark will become the entrance to an underground parking garage for buildings on that block. America’s most beautiful tropical room has become a boring drive-through corridor. All I can say is: “Crap!”

It’s a post card. And, yes, it’s very cool… I imagine so was the bar.

Is this a post-card? Or some type of travel doc from back then? Just curious… very cool.

Sheesh. No wonder the temperature’s never right in here. Building was finished in 1946, apparently. http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=streetoregonianbuilding-portland-or-usa
