PDX Limericks – New Year’s Eve Edition

by PAgent

Although injuries knock their stars flat,
The Blazers will go to the mat.

Three rookies, one coach, and Trail Cat.
When you marry you think it’s forever,

In my household, NBA Draft Day is treated like a religious holiday. My boyfriend takes every NBA Draft Day off from work and spends the days prior indulging in any and all trade rumors, just like a kid speculating [...]

Rediscovering Portland

by Radio Gretchen

Today was perhaps one of the most beautiful days in Portland ever. Of course, I tell myself this every time it is sunny and in the mid-70s here. Nothing is better than Portland on a sunny day.
I’ve lived in Portland for 16 years. I don’t know that any other place will feel [...]
