I am happy to announce that we have brand new neighbors not just nearby the Swap Shop but actually right inside our space. If you have been around the past few weeks you will have noticed a lot of French being spoken and you might have already met Massene, Patricia and Cary, two teachers [...] The more I get to know our local businesses in SE Portland, the more reasons I have to brag with complete assurance about what a treasure they all are to our community. I had a friend who worked in management for Sears who would entertain us with stories about executive directives to do things like [...] Melissa formed her own one-woman business, MortgagesDirect, 11 years ago. Now she’s the broker and the receptionist, the processor and the closer, the manager and customer service. She only processes a half dozen or so loans at a time so they all get her attention.

Her part of Germany is known as the world headquarters for precision medical instruments making . . . but before you [...] Lawrence Convalescent Center is a small, locally-owned, family run intermediate care facility at 48th & Belmont. It only takes a minute to stop by the convalescent center for a visit. Gardening volunteers and people who want to volunteer with residents are always welcomed. While you are there, Chuck and his daughter Lisa, Don and his staff can give you great advice on services and resources that make some of the most challenging care decisions a lot more bearable. [...] HOLIDAY FAMILY HOURS IN THE GYM AND ROOST: We had a well used, well cared for space both Thanksgiving Day and the day after so we are extending the offer to all our Roost and Swap Shop families to make this place your place over the holidays. So, start planning that family basketball [...] CUBAN FOOD ON FRIDAY NIGHT No matter what simple and small or elaborate and fancy “event” our youth plan, you will be eating well if you choose to come by Friday night.
