Another royal opening, Austrian streets, castles and ballrooms as Adalind and Brother Renard (Eric) try to get cozy. Once again, the Governor Hotel Library Room ceiling is on display, as in previous episodes.

A cool PDX timelapse video from up on The Hill ends with a view of the Ross Island Bridge, South Waterfront, and Mt Hood in the distance:

New cart coming soon

A new food cart was loaded onto the "Moody Dock Food Carts" recently. This bright red cart is positioned between the Taste of Mexico and Rip City Grill:

Awaiting more info!

In other news, what do you think of the new paint job on the Rip City Grill cart?

Grimm Episode 220 "Kiss of the Muse"

"Nick falls victim to a muse-like Wesen who's dangerously captivating. Meanwhile, Juliette's feelings towards Nick intensify as her memories come back."
Aired: May 7, 10/9C


This was a great episode, traipsing around some familiar spots in Portland.

A local mention that you've probably never heard of: Monroe picked up some goods for dinner from "Shemanski Park outdoor market".... I had to look that one up. And is anyone familiar with these "veggie steaks" he speaks of?

Fuller's Coffee Shop

136 NW 9th Ave
Hank is back from "vacation" sporting some high-tech crutches while his achilles heals. Nick and Hank meet up at Fuller's.  http://www.yelp.com/biz/fullers-coffee-shop-portland

Fullers Coffee Shop in the Pearl

"Nolen's Booksellers"

Interior: 128 NW 11th Ave
The Armory interior is recognizable, done over to look like a book store.

Exterior: 1200 NW Naito Parkway
Everyone is talking about the inconsistency of this scene.  The Albers Mill building on Naito Parkway provided the exterior of the book store, and the jumping off point for Anton, into the Willamette River.

By the way, we've seen the Albers Mill location previously on Episode 202 "The Kiss"... Coincidence? "The Kiss" and "Kiss of the Muse".

Grimm Ep219 "Endangered" Portland filming locations

Grimm Episode 219 "Endangered"

"Mysterious cow mutilations put Nick on a case that forces him to question the existence of aliens within the Wesen world."
Aired: April 30, 10/9C

Finally, an episode featuring the quintessential Oregon pastoral scene. Green rolling farmland...

And then... mysterious cattle deaths... and a pregnant woman eating bloody cow entrails harvested by her blue alien husband?!  So gross.

The main scenes in this episode were filmed at the "Hadley Ranch" site, located in Hillsboro on NW Groveland Rd.

The barn scene, (pregnant lady eating cow guts), was located nearby on NW Jackson Quarry Rd.

The blue baby birthing scene in a cabin...any ideas on the cabin location?

You can explore the Grimm 2 Map by OldeSaultie for these locations. They may bring back memories of similar scenery from Episode 3, filmed nearby in Helvetia.

This week was otherwise light on location spotting. We got another scene in Monroe's cool attic, and the inside of a forensics lab.

On to the next!

Last Thursday's market was a hit, and the beautiful weather was an added bonus.  Thanks to the South Waterfront Community Relations for their good work on this event!
