courtnek Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 I am going on a business trip to Portland, Oregon, leaving tomorrow and will be back on Friday night next week. Freebee is kenneled at the best kennel in the area, a really nice place where they play with them everyday, the kennels are clean and the dogs are well cared for. I would recommend this kennel to anyone in the Chicago area. Pushycat is staying here, and I have someone coming in a few times during the week to check on him and pet him. I imagine I will have a lot of catching up to do when I come back! Everyone have a great week! :D :D :D Quote

Queen Bitch Posted August 2, 2003 Posted August 2, 2003 Ohhhhhh Courtnek, have fun in my beloved Portland. Take pictures of downtown for me! (since I was a loser and didnt take any when I was there.) Try to take a picture of the Crystal Ballroom ( 14th ave sw and Burnside) I used to work there. If you need to find something to do check out the Portland Mercury or the Willamette Week. Those are the weekly papers. ( www.portlandmercury.com and www.wweek.com) you can find them just about anywhere. If you want an interesting dining expierence go to Bistro Montage. (it is on Morrison St Se under the Morrison Bridge. ) Portland is cut in approximately 4 sections. Burnside Street divides North and south and the Willamette River divides east and west. ( oh and it's pronounced Will- lamb-it, Portlanders get pretty picky about that stuff.) The streets North of Burnside are in mostly alphabetical order. And for the most part the avenues are numbered and the streets are named and are with a few exceptions laid out in a grid. Super easy to get around. If you have been there before, ignore my PDX babbling. :lol: Also there is an internet cafe right off of Se Hawthorne Blvd ( 14 blocks south of burnside) at about 32 ave se. It's right around the corner from a futon shop in a yellowish building. ( Hint Hint Hint) Have Fun! Quote
