Watch tomorrow's paper for details, but I'm working on a story about City Council elections. Nomination packets are at City Hall for prospective candidates and I've been calling our current council to see who's not planning to run again.

But hey, everybody wants some of that wonderful Interstate MAX Station vibe in their daily lives. No doubt this...

The source also forwards a copy of a 2002 Oregonian article, which shows that it's not just Brooks Brothers complaining about the place....

The homeless protesters outside city hall are planning a Soltstice Campout tomorrow night, and are appealing to Portlanders to camp out in solidarity on their front lawns. Any takers? If so, can we take your...
