On Wednesday, November 26, 2008, city staff will be going to Council with the final proposed amendments regarding the manner in which wireless companies may place antennae on utility poles, and replace utility poles with taller ones for wireless purposes. The proposed amendments are designed to balance the need to retain neighborhood character and livability with the expanding need to provide wireless services in neighborhoods. They were developed over the course of two years. Staff conducted three public forums in March, 2008, followed by an online survey in April-May, 2008 (that was responded to by over 900 people, and over 350 individual comments were also received), followed by a citywide public meeting in October, 2008. In short, staff is proposing to allow antennae on utility poles in residential areas on residential streets only as a last resort - when no other site or combination of sites for antennae is feasible. Even then, staff proposes to reduce the allowed pole rep

Event Location: DiPrima Dolci, 1936 N. Killingsworth Portland
Event Location: DiPrima Dolci, 1936 N. Killingsworth Portland
DiPrima Dolci invites you to join them for their Zeppole Day on the last Saturday of each month. In New York and especially in Italy, street fairs are a common way to celebrate the day honoring the patron saint of a community or village. In Italy, the whole town closes down to celebrate their saint’s day. Sicily’s patron saint is San Giuseppe (Saint Joseph). In New York, the feast of San Gennaro is a popular annual event, and to celebrate, they close down several streets in Little Italy and have food vendors, games and of course, a procession featuring the patron saint, San Gennaro.
To recall this tradition, DiPrima Dolci makes zeppoli--tender and delicious Italian donuts--on the last Saturday of every month. They don’t make them more frequently because, like all special things, the anticipation is part of the enjoyment!
