Here’s what we’ve found as we’ve traveled the local PDX web (complete with our comments) for June 4th:
- Sad news: Oregon Media Insiders blog calling it quits | Silicon Florist
Rick's got the scoop, including a link to Lynn's goodbye post: "OMI has been the go-to resource for the pulse of the media scene around here. It takes all kinds—point and counterpoint—and it will be sorely missed.
Love it or hate it. OMI was a voice. And an important voice at that."
The site is going down for good tomorrow at some point, I've been told – unless someone wants to take it over. I'd contact Lynn via Twitter DM: @lynnsiprelle.
- Portland Pie-Off: Save the Date!
Our own Radio Gretchen moonlights as one of the Portland Pie Commissioners – and they have an important announcement to make. This year's Pie-Off will be held on August 16, 2009 at Peninsula Park.
Get this site in your RSS reader, and start getting out those cookbooks…!
- Dave Knows: Portland | New York Press writer attempts to eviscerate the Stumptown Coffee mystique
Dave writes: "I like to support local businesses, but at the same time I maintain certain standards. Stumptown Coffee Roasters, doesn’t always meet them (and I know that puts me in the minority here in Portland).
It’s clear from Ethan Epstein’s New York Press article Totally Stumped, that he’s not a huge fan of Stumptown either. But for him it’s not just about the french press coffee. "
