Welcome to the east Portland Indoor Pool and the first person who finds it wins The Doctor Livingston I presume award. Talk about impossible.The Google map had me walking in circles, literally. For some unfathomable reason, Portland likes to skip street numbers. So, it\u2019s 104 Avenue followed by 106 Avenue. 105 Avenue is probably across the street but don\u2019t bet on it. Following the Google Map I struggled across a very busy interstate, ignored no trespassing signs, skirted construction trucks and no exit signs, smiled cowardly at a dog that was advancing and growling. A man who could have been one of the original Hatfields or McCoys, told me to follow an overgrown path and ignore all the No Entrance, Stop, Keep Out signs. I did. I saw a couple who turned out to be extremely kind and knew the area. They escorted me to the pool. Unless Google provides all users with good samaritans like mine, I don\u2019t advise using its maps.<\/p>\n

There was a memorial for Linda Hornbuckle and Janice Scroggins in NE Portland’s \u00a0Dawson Park. The women were close friends who played together and died within a short time of each other. Both were inspired musicians. Linda Hornbuckle was a singer and Janice Scroggins was a \u00a0pianist.They were Portland legends and masters of soul, blues, gospel and jazz,<\/p>\n

The annual Mississippi Street Fair was blessed by temperate weather. No event in Portland would be complete without its food trucks.<\/p>\n
