May 8, 2006: Send Owen a card!

This just in today:

"My name is Anthony T. Olvera, I live at 2000 Paxton Church Rd. Harrisburg, PA 17111.

"My son Owen is doing a school project which requires him to get as many postcards as possible, one from every state ( we do not know people in every state) I was hoping you could help out by sending him one. It would be greatly appreciated .I am not sure of the time frame for this project, but all I know is they have at least until the 1st week of June. He is a 6th grader at Susquehanna Township Middle School.

"Thank you for your time and kindness,

"Anthony T. Olvera"

Email this week from readers:

Not having spent much time on the eastern side of the Cascades, that information will probably come in most useful.

"You nailed Eugene, I grew up there during junior high and although it was great for that, it isn't the most architecturally stimulating place."

"If you are in Astoria go to the Columbian Cafe. Great local seafood, creative combinations, and the chef, Uriah, is a cool cat. At night go next door to the Voodoo Room for cocktails and conversation. So weird, so wild, so real."
