Google Maps Street View comes to Madison!

Although, not as exciting as my street view in Portland, I live way back in the apartments in the back. No street passes by it. Although this is pretty cool. Good way to find your way around, or at least not get lost. But remember, Google Maps gets you lost!

Portland Differences #11 - Rain

Anyone notice a pattern? You could bet there would be rain tomorrow, and it would probably be a pretty good bet.
Rain, everyday! Wow, but it isn’t like totally cold out, might even get to the 60’s. Take some of that rain and spread it around the country huh?
I don’t mind it at all, better [...]

Portland Differences #10 - Establishments Like Bathroom Graffiti

Seriously. Every other place I have been, usually they frown on people writing on the walls, marking up stuff, writing obscenities (”Here I sit broken hearted, tried to…”)
In Portland, bathroom graffiti is an art form. Either that or bars and restaurants just stopped caring and figured it looks cool enough, lets just leave it. I [...]

Portland Differences #9 - Beer is Always Involved

No matter what you do around town in Portland, it always seems there is beer involved. I blogged about getting shoes before, where they had beer. Today I went to get a haircut at Bishops Barbershop, they had beer. Of course there is beer everywhere else, microbrews flowing, within 10-15 min walking distance from my [...]

311 and Matisyahu - Portland (Edgefield) OR - McMenamins

Last night we went to McMenamins in Edgefield for 311 featuring special guest Matisyahu. First off, 311 is my FAVORITE band! And they rocked. Matisyahu was OK, more background noise than anything, but he sounded good.
The real cool thing was the venue itself. Unlike in MN at the Xcel or Target center, this was a [...]

Music Millennium on 23rd and Johnson: Going out of Business

Was walking 23rd today, Music Millennium is going out of business at the end of the month, so I decided to stop by. Tons of music, all discounted. I picked up a goofy cover cd - Butchering the Beatles - metal covers of The Beatles. Anyone who is in PDX should check out MM before the [...]

Burnside: The Movie

As some of you might know, I live on W. Burnside St in Portland, OR
Yesterday I stumbled on a site promoting a movie of the name “Burnside“  http://www.myspace.com/burnsidemovie
I watched the trailers, it is shot in Portland, about the trials and tribulations of some people that roam on Burnside St. Pretty cool to have the street [...]
