The Portland, OR. week began at The Living Room, a combination eatery and movie house, so dear to my heart. Eating during \u201cLife Itself\u201d requires a strong stomach. It\u2019s Roger Ebert\u2019s story and many of the scenes take place after his jaw was removed. My favorite parts were between Ebert and Gene Siskel who cordially hated each other.<\/p>\n

Dawson Park in Portland\u2019s north quadrant sponsors free concerts. It\u2019s very casual and friendly. Sometimes, there\u2019s great music.<\/p>\n

Michael Ellick is leaving Judson Memorial Church. He will be the senior minister at First Congregational UCC in Portland. The 1891 building resembles the Old South Church in Boston. It’s considered one of the few examples of Venetian Gothic architecture in the United States.<\/p>\n

Sand castles on Pioneer Square! It\u2019s a nineteen year tradition that takes place in Portland’s living room. The contestants begin early in the morning and build with sand and water until 4 p.m.<\/p>\n
