PORTLAND

• An article and photo gallery sharing the the Grotto’s serenity: “Get back to mother nature in the Grotto’s Upper Gardens“

• I wrote about devouring a dried scorpion at the Freakybuttrue Peculiarium and Museum in the “Bug Eater’s Delight“

• Some investigation uncovers where Witch’s Castle in Forest Park, the moss-covered structure near where Lower Macleay and Wildwood trails meet, gets its name: “Double, double toil and trouble“

• I explore the hot spots south of East Burnside: “SoBu: a cool place to hang out, but a stupid name no one uses” [because true Portlanders would never say something silly like SoBu]

• A list of the top five gay clubs/bars in town: “Where to go when you come out“

PARIS
