Which Portland neighborhood do you call home?
Eliot
About Me:
Just sharing my excitement about the great city that I live in. I am hoping to meet lots of like minded people and together all of us will create a fun and useful website.

Other things about me...
I work fulltime in IT...but not on websites
I love to dabble in websites on the side due to the creative aspect (I like to make things)
I always thought my style was contemporary/modern, but now I live in a wonderful old Portland house that was built in 1900 - cool!
I am creative by nature
I love to take photos
I love to read...and write
I love to cook (and eat!)
I am a painter in my spare time (oil painting as opposed to say, painting my house...which needs a re-painting but I can't afford it)
I also make jewelry
On rare occasions, I will break out my old sewing machine, too
I love dogs - they are role models for living in the moment!
I love to be outside enjoying our NW beauty
I love to eat at Portland restaurants
I love taking walks under the old trees of Irvington
I love riding my bike on the Eastbank Esplanade
I love people, but I am a natural introvert
What do you love about Portland?
Geez, what DON'T I love about Portland? I built an entire website just because I like Portland so much. This city is awesome. I would not want to live anyplace else.
My music:
so much music, so little time. My music is whatever Jonathan burned for me that week, and all of it is fantastic.
What's your favorite Portland neighborhood and why?
Ha! There are so many! I love NE PDX because of the diversity (and yeah, cause I live there)

Portland Blog - This Week in Portland March 6-12, 2010

Hello, Portlanders. It looks like another lovely spring-like Saturday outside, and there is lots to do in Portland this week from the looks of our event calendar. I was going to suggest if you do only one thing this week in Portland, it would be to go downtown to the waterfront and take in the pink cherry blossom trees. They are bursting into bloom and it is one of my all-time favorite Portland "events" to see each year. Take your camera! And, it coincides with this weekend's annual grand openin… Continue

Portland Blog - This Week in Portland, Feb 27- Mar 6

Hello, fellow Portlanders. It's another great weekend in Portland with several big events: the Portland jazz festival is still underway through tomorrow, and this weekend we also have the Portland Spring and Garden show for more gardening ideas and inspiration. For something a little more unusual, check the Haiku contest (see details below to enter or vote for one of our members) or even head down to the rive… Continue

Portland Blog - This Week in Portland, Feb 20 - 27, 2010

Hello, Portlanders. I hope you had a great week in Portland and enjoyed all our moments of sunshine, spring flowers...and even flowering trees! While driving downtown, I saw a pink haze out of the corner of my eye, and looked over and saw the pink cherry trees were blooming already. Already!! I know there are fears of another cold snap that might kill off all the pretty spring flowers, but for now I am enjoying them and hoping for the best.

Last night we went out to celebrate my husban… Continue

Hello, Portlanders. Wow, there are early signs of spring popping up all over Portland. I have crocus flowers blooming and my daffodils are already springing up. I am so excited and can't wait for the beauty that comes out in Portland every spring, especially the cherry blossom trees. I am already getting outside and enjoying the little moments of sunshine and taking hikes at Forest Park. If you're looking for some gardening inspiration, visit the Portland Yard, Garden and Patio show, on through… Continue

Portland Blog - This Week in Portland January 9-16, 2010 - Portland Events & More

Hello, Portlanders! I hope you've started this year off with high hopes for another great year. I read all of the messages posted on the forum about people moving to Portland or wanting to move here, and it reminds me how moving to a new place can be filled with anticipation and hopes for positive change in our lives. People move to new cities for lots of reasons, but moving to Portland certainly seems a big goal for many this year, in spite of our rather poor economy making it hard to find jobs… Continue

Yeah I was just snapping away at the ship it from inside the max window, and I didn't realize there was someone in the frame so perfectly until I got home...then thought his jacket was what MADE the picture, ya know? :) And the ship being that way was just odd.

Hello! I am trying to find a home for rent with a fenced in backyard and I have not been too impressed with the listings on Craigslist. Is there anyone who knows a realtor who does rental homes? Please help! Thank you!
