I heard Microsoft is putting a store at the old Romano's Macaroni Grill spot.
 
Ok, who's mother is this?

She's acting a fool! But I dig the running man!

...has anyone eaten at Urban Farmer? Voted one of America's best steakhouses!

Shelves with jars of pickled fruits and vegetables, a 20-foot-long communal table made from old-growth Douglas fir, and an airy, atrium setting on the eighth floor of the LEED-certified Nines Hotel creates the kind of hipster-meets-farmhouse feel for which Portland has become famous. But there’s also plenty to satisfy the traditionalist: Pacific oysters on the half shell, creamed spinach, and cowhide booths. The New York tasting includes a sampling of grass-fed, corn-fed, and grain-finished beef, plus an optional Wagyu add-on—and goes nicely with the local Ransom Spirits whiskey or a glass of Willamette Valley Pinot.

one of my friends did and said she wasn't impressed and left a review on Open Table (whatever that is). She didn't expound on it, but it looks interesting.

I have heard similar things from my friends as well. Laurelhurst Market is much better for the price if you are looking for a restaurant that is steak-centric
 
FEZ where you AT?

The new condo tower in the Pearl will be using the same glass that was used for the new World Trade Center 1 building:

One of your "Portland Facts" is wrong, Fez. Portland was not dusted with volcanic ash during the May 18th, 1980 eruption. The winds were flowing northeast at the time, and Yakima and Spokane got decimated. It wasn't until later in May, and to a greater extent June, that the Portland area saw any ashfall from the volcano.

Sometime later, a study was done to determine what the impact would have been to the city HAD the winds been blowing towards Portland on May 18th, since Portland is considerably closer to Mt. St. Helens than Yakima: something like 4 1/2 feet of ash dumped on the city. Imagine New Orleans after Katrina for the level of disaster that would have caused.

Oh yes, that ash came down one day about that time.

I was building a House in California at that time. I had come up to Oregon to get a load of lumber, a Flat bed truck and trailer. Loaded it out at the Parr lumber yard in Wonkers Corners

I had about 1/2 to 3/4 inch of ash on that load before I got to Salem. It stayed on the load all the way to Cal. I still have a jar containing some of that Ash somewhere around here.

Zags posted the link on the main page but this is what the CC hotel will look like - when approved.

PSU is on a roll:

The biggest single addition to the list: $22 million for Portland State University to remake its ugly, leaky athletic center on Portland's Park Blocks into a glitzy academic, athletics and events center. PSU will match that with $20 million of private contributions to remake the outdated 1964 Stott Center into a glass-fronted Stott Educational Center with a 5,000-seat Viking Pavilion basketball arena.

I love PSU. My MBA is from there. The new hoops facility will be great for recruiting!
 
How about instead of wasting tens of millions on a building for a sports team nobody watches or cares about, they stop jacking up my tuition?

I'm tempted to write PSU and tell them that I'll gladly pay 3% of my salary for the next 100 years, if I can end my student loans (which are not doubling in interest rates...yay goverment!)
