So are YOU Multnomah People?

A recent comment from Mouseblog alerts me to the following post, and I quote:
Overheard tonight in the Starbucks in Multnomah Village: “Well, we were Multnomah People before there were Multnomah People.”
The full post is here...

Now I don't want to start some kind of comment flame war, but there's a case to be made that real "Multnomah People" would have been at Village Coffee...

Thanks for the link!

We're number 890!

Well, OK - it doesn't have the same poetic cachet of "we're number one" but still something to be proud of. Our local High School, Wilson High, was just "ranked" by Newsweek...
Newsweek recently released an update to its annual list of the Best High Schools in the US, placing Wilson at number 890 among all public high schools in the country for 2005. The rankings are based on the number of students taking Advanced Placement (AP) exams, which help prepare students for success in college. This prestigious ranking puts Wilson in the top 1,000 public high schools in the U.S. [Wilson #890, Lake Oswego #918; Westview #1079; and Lincoln #1091.

That quote came to me by way of my email, by way of Wilson's newsletter. Great news - keep it up Wilson!
