NoPo needs a Movie Theater!

Still no movie theaters in North Portland. What's the problem? Jantzen Beach could use a cinema, Regal! Kenton Park could use one, as well. The only options for NoPo residents are to drive to St. Johns, the Lloyd Center, or Downtown Vancouver (not an option during rush hour). The first company to step in and build a movie theater in the vicinity of Interstate and Lombard is going to make bank.

Nopo Needs a WinCo!

Why is there no WinCo in North Portland? WinCo has some of the most inexpensive food, and people could really use this store in North and Northeast Portland. Yet, the closest stores are across town, in places they aren't really needed, like Beaverton and Tigard.

Boulevard Tacos (formerly El Burrito Loco)

Don't bother patronizing this establishment. Supposedly, the landlord of this place kicked out the former business (El Burrito Loco - which was located there for over 17 years), hired one of their former cooks, and opened up this business using their same recipes. Sorry, but shady business establishments don't deserve my cash. If you want a decent burrito at a great price, go to:

King Burrito
2924 N Lombard St
Portland, OR 97217
(503) 283-9757

It's just a few blocks away and tastes even better than the original El Burrito Loco did.

Very Cool Photo of North Portland Fred Meyer

I Just came across this photo on the internet and thought it was very cool. I know those columns in the soda pop aisle quite intimately. I've even named them: Mofo (on the north side) and Biznatch (further in, near the Squirt and the Prune juice). Considering how often I'm there, I'm surprised I'm not in the picture! Click the link below to have a look at the complete photo. Patience, it might take a minute to download.
