Here’s what we’ve found as we’ve traveled the local PDX web (complete with our comments) for June 13th:
- Lelo in Nopo: Happy Pride to you and you and you
Lelo tells the story of her first time witnessing the Pride parade 10 years ago, and what it means to her now: "But G taught me it’s about our history, about connecting with our family, and celebrating who we are. For so many of us we hide parts—or all—of our authentic selves, being queer in a straight society. Pride, historically, has been about letting that go and being true to ourselves. And seeing the thousands of others around us who are doing the same. We're not alone."
Happy Pride day!
- About | Where in Portland?
Food Dude's got a new endeavor: "The purpose of this site is to raise awareness of some of the interesting places around town, give you a challenge and a chance to win some money. Several times a week, I will be posting pictures taken in Portland. Your job is to guess where they are. Some will be very obvious, some will be pretty obscure. They may be fountains, buildings, statues, public art, historical places… whatever catches my eye."
- Oregon Media Insiders – Welcome to the new OMI
The new OMI admin writes: "Welcome to the new OMI. I wanted to continue OMI so we can still have great conversations about Oregon media. The rules and the way the site works is pretty much the same as the old OMI. Unregistered users though are able to comment but have to wait for approval."
We're glad to have the site back!

Does anyone know who is running the new OMI?
Not officially, but I will note this comment from LynnS on the welcome post (there are two sites now – this one, and the Oregon Media Forum):
