    Perhaps they are still smarting from Dr. McLoughlin siding with these upstart Americans in the Oregon Territory rather than the Hudson Bay Company.

    Yet another reason I love Portland.  “It has a small size but a huge history and legacy in our city," he [Portland Parks Director Mike Abbaté] wrote. "Mill Ends is revered by thousands, and has been for years. ... Mill Ends is weeded, watered, planted and maintained like every other park in our National Gold Medal-winning system.”

    Pink Martini will be playing the Royal Albert Hall late in April. Maybe Thomas Lauderdale could set the Brits straight.

    Someone should put a very small bench in Mill Ends.

    They are running a poll and clobbering Portlanders in the comments (all in good fun, of course).
