I have broken the site.....

The Villager is down right now, and I'm going to have to re-install some server software to bring it up again.... It may take me til the weekend, sorry...

New posts up on the Multnomah Villager

Hey all -

A few new posts have gone up on the new site. I'm talking about sidewalks, neighbors, and for the last time, migration of the blog. Check it out at www.multnomahvillager.com and remember to update your bookmarks - I'm no longer posting new posts to this address, although I will keep the content available, for the benefit of the folks who have found this site via Google or Yahoo.

Snow Day!

Yeah OK, everyone knows it snowed in Portland today, and as of 7PM or so, schools are closed tomorrow too.. My post about today's adventures, with pictures, is at the new site address www.multnomahvillager.com, and I'm not cross-posting it, cause of the pix, so go check it out there and update your bookmarks!

The Multnomah Outdoor Cinema returns... Um... Indoors

Well, based on the success of the Outdoor Cinema this summer, and by popular demand, there will be a mid-winter Outdoor Indoor Cinema screening on Sunday, February 11th. It will be a mid-day matinee, should be at 2PM but I'm not sure that this time is 100% confirmed as of yet. Since it's so close to Valentine's Day, the movie day will be candy-themed with a showing of "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" - yes, that's the original Gene Wilder version. It should be fun, and there's talk of combining this with a canned food drive for Neighborhood House. I'll keep you posted as details come out.

Finally! The Villager moves to it's own URL!

This 'blog has moved!
The new address of the Multnomah Villager is where it should have been all along, at www.multnomahvillager.com.

I have moved the blog off of Blogspot and into Wordpress and added some new structure and category features. Please come see me there and I hope you keep reading. Thanks for all the visits, comments and everything else through the last year. I will continue to post here as well as on the new site for a month or two, but it's time to update your links. Click here to visit the new site and here is the new RSS Feed address.

O'Connors: We're not the only ones that love to eat there

In waht has become a bit of a tradition lately on this 'blog, here's a link to a writeup about one of our favorite local restaurants, at Chuck Currie's Blog which in turn links to an Oregonian article from Sept 28th of this year, which I missed since Sept 28th is my birthday, and I was watching the sunrise in Joshua Tree National Park while Chuck and family were wshing O'Connor's was open for breakfast already.

Just one number away......

Nice writeup on Renner's Wednesday night Bingo nights in last week's Willamette Week. Missed it? So did I, but here's a link to the article....

Give it a read, or better yet stop by Renner's this week and try it out.
