This is the Portland that I know while actually growing up in Hillsboro. Shopping with my mother at the stores down town and across the river, taking the Rose City bus from Hillsboro as I got older was a right of passage. I'm now nearly 80 and have lived in the Pearl for almost 30 years; liviing my dream. Kathy
Allan: thanks for reminding us everyday how to build the boat that Barry Lopez said we’ve
forgotten how to build.
a fan, Jere Grimm
I strongly recommend John's Cafe. Christine and Jimmy are nice people and food is good. It's a nice reminder of Portland before the Pearl.

Love this article. This is what America needs---more small businesses, less corporations.
What a beautiful story thank you Allan!
