So much is changing around the neighborhood, it's hard to keep up. Here is a rundown of a few of the things that took place this past year:
- The Ella opened
- Tilikum Crossing, Bridge of the People, was born
- The Oregon Ballet arrived
- Muselet (lovely and delicious) opened and closed
- The Groaning Board eventually closed, and Al Hawr moved in
- The Osprey opened this fall offering "retreat-style living"
- The orange BikeTown bikes are in the wild, and you can't miss 'em
- A slew of new food carts, including Smaaken waffle sandwiches came... and then the Gantry closed
- Cavalia took over the Zidell lot for the summer
- Wesley Matthews moved away
- Robin Lopez moved away
- Countrywide insurance company moved in
- Orange Theory fitness opened
- StyleFront closed
- RidePDX is here
- Huge cranes rolled in and construction began on OHSU's next building
- What's the Scoop? New ice cream shop in the Riva
- Blue Star Donuts in the Riva
- Heart Pizza in the Riva
- A real estate frenzy
- And WHEN will someone, anyone, open a neighborhood pub? Menu: burgers, salads, flatbread pizzas and local brews and wine... Not looking for anything fancy, just a regular pub fare lunch and dinner, family-friendly, watch the game, stop by after work for happy hour kind of place. I've heard this from so many neighbors over the years, but especially now.
