Black Box Block Party
A block party is always a good excuse to blast music, fire up the grill and get (too) drunk with your fellow neighbors. This Saturday, the shops that inhabit the Black Box retail project—Solestruck, Yo Vintage!, Reveille, Tanner Goods and Poler—are throwing their own block party of sorts. It’ll be just like the summer block [...]
GENKI-SU: JAPANESE DRINKING VINEGAR
Every day while growing up in Okinawa, Japan, Takako Shinjo drank her fix of vinegar. Made from coconuts and infused with fruit or herbs, the vinegar was traditionally believed to have health benefits. Samurai warriors once mixed it with water to fight fatigue. In modern day Japan, nearly three-quarters of the population drinks this kind [...]

Naomi Pomeroy’s What If
As TEDxPortland continues to inspire us, we break for lunch to reflect and feed our bellies. But today’s theme sticks with us…What If? We posed the question to Naomi Pomeroy, owner of Portland’s famous Beast restaurant. We asked her, “what if you could get people to taste anything you wanted, even the quirky stuff?” [...]
TEDxPortland: Brian Faherty of Schoolhouse Electric
If Brian Faherty had his way, more buildings and interior design would tip a nod to history. Faherty gets “squirrely,” as he says, in environments that whitewash the heritage out of them. He’s not shy to name Bridgeport Village in Tigard as a prime example of the “Disneyland effect.” It’s a copy of something else, [...]
