Some of Steve’s favorite places in district 3
The Aladdin Theater
When’s Randy Newman coming back?
Hinterlands food carts
The Migas taco at Matt’s BBQ food cart is the best bargain in town. (And I love their ad parodying The Shane Company: “you’ve got a friend in the barbecue business.”)
Fifty Licks ice cream
Heck of a chocolate milkshake.
J&M Café
Outstanding waffles!
The Grand Central in Woodstock
It’s the friendliest Grand Central!
Batting a Thousand
The batting cage in Montavilla. Sometimes you just need to hit a baseball.
The Bagdad Theater
Portland wouldn’t be Portland without its independent theaters.
The Laurelhurst Theater
Mount Tabor
of course! Especially on clear days when you can see Mount Hood as a reward for climbing all those steps.
Music Millennium on Burnside
and the nearby “Heartbreak Dead Ahead” sign. I installed the sign as a tribute to a song by the Motown band the Marvelettes (“they say that love is blind – but it’s as clear as a highway sign – danger - heartbreak dead ahead”) – when I was on the City Council; then someone stole it; then a private citizen replaced it! (By the way, speaking of Motown, why hasn’t the songwriting trio of Holland-Dozier-Holland gotten the Medal of Freedom?)
Albina Press & Sapphire hotel
Coffee shop and restaurant next door.
