The Portland Trail Blazers beat the Houston Rockets in their opening game of the season at the Rose Garden.  Portland takes great pride (or prejudice) in the Blazers as they are Portland’s only top level professional sport.  Portland is home to minor league hockey (the Winterhawks), soccer (the Timbers)  and baseball (the Beavers).  That may change when major league soccer arrives.

The doors still locked but not for long. “Book now” for their Halloween night
event is posted on the door.  There is more information about the historic building and events on their website.  The restaurant’s address is 626 SW Park, Portland OR 97205.

Pretty soon, the leaves will all be gone and washing into storm drains where they will create an even bigger mess .  But for now, the colors around town couldn’t be better.

I don’t know how many times I’ve driven and even walked by the back side of this house on NW 18th Ave. without seeing it. The lot is 35 feet wide sandwiched between taller buildings. The chimney is the tallest I’ve seen on a single family house. It’s hard to see that the top is supported by four wires to the buildings around it.

St. Josef’s Winery is about 30 minutes from Portland in Canby. We were
there last weekend for their annual grape crush event.
