We’ve been fans of Ace Hotel for awhile now, but today we fell even more in love after we received the best mail ever. No, really…ever. Ace has created the VISUAL CHAIN LETTER in hopes to bring people closer to both, each other and the world around us. Being big advocates of “exploring the world” idea, this [...]
Walking in to Salt & Straw Ice Cream and seeing the new flavors unveiled each month always feels like Christmas morning to us. With flavors like “Candy Cap Mushroom with Port Red Wine” and “Chocolate with Honeycomb Toffee”, they’ve certainly outdone themselves this January. But the new flavor we’remost excited about is a tribute to the [...]

Owner Tissa Stein has transformed an old medical building on SE 51st and Hawthorne into a cozy haven from the rain. With exposed beams, a gorgeous [...]
With all the recent incredibly horrific shit (excuse our French) happening locally, domestically and internationally, we thought it was time to just hit the ‘power off’ button on the t.v. and give your eyes and mind a rest. Instead of watching clip after clip of saddening images and listening to stories of killers, why not [...]
