Old Building

There's a great old building just coming out of Northwest Portland, it is probably an old railroad station or power plant. It is just exquisite. So cool. Should be turned into a restaurant, office, or whatever. I need to get down there and take pictures of it, it's just too cool. listen

Old Bridge

There's a bridge - part of old highway 30, I suspect. Just out of Scappoose on the west side of the highway and I think it is right near Cornelius Pass Road. Covered with ivy and moss. I need to get down and take photographs of this! listen

The Old Town Cafe


A friend recommended the Old Town Cafe in Scappoose as a place to hang out with Wi-Fi. They have a great atmosphere if they're just more friendly. The deco is great. the light jazz is peaceful, and the food and drink selection is great. [...]. listen

However, after two visits, I don't think I'll be returning. There is more than a little something missing. The atmosphere and general gestalt are just harsh. There seemed to be a lack of friendliness in the staff and owner.

Indeed, I walked in talking on my phone, but while I was getting my laptop setup, the owner sort of pushed her way past me to retrieve a power strip that had been there since my last visit. The cashier scowled at my request for soy milk - and seemed to skimp on the amount.

Although they offer free wi-fi, I was the only one computing. In fact, I had the general impression that they'd prefer I not take up space (which was abundant).

I'm looking for a place to call home. A place to conduct meetings, a place to meet with people, a place to connect with the community, a place to eat meals, and place where I can be a part of the family.

I probably brought in several new customers to my former hangout. Does anyone want my business?

Highway 30 headed South

I'm on Highway 30 headed South, it is pouring down rain.

I am just dying to wrap my hands around the potentials of group think and all the ideas regarding open source and all of that stuff. I'm just looking for ways to connect that to what I'm currently doing. listen
