Fall 2006 Polish the Pearl
by pearlgirl
It's on the books, people. Mark your calendars! On Saturday, September 23rd, the PDNA will host the fall 2006 neighborhood clean up.
If you'd like to get involved in the real dirty work- the planning- then join the PTP Planning Committee. Our first meeting is on Wednesday, July 12th, 6pm at Via Delizia . The second meeting is on Wednesday, July 26th, 6pm at Rogue Public House .
For those of you that haven't attended Polish the Pearl: Volunteers clean every street within our neighborhood boundaries. The volunteers are armed with cleaning equipment and assigned streets/teams. Local businesses are instrumental in offering donations that allow us to purchase these supplies. Not only does the business community offer this assistance, they also supply breakfast and lunch for volunteers. Despite the obvious glamour of the event, it's really fun and a great way to meet your neighbors/support your neighborhood.

Another List... and we're tops!
by pearlgirl
I was surprised... and not too surprised at an article I read this morning about Portland being the "whitest" city in America and its disappearing minority neighborhoods.
Like the number of strip clubs in Portland... the level of whiteness isn't exactly hidden; but it's always dumbfounding to hear that we top this kind of list.
White Gentrification Hits Northwest

New Shoes, a Facial, and a Hysterectomy.... Welcome to the Pearl, 2006
by pearlgirl
Most of you have shopped the Pearl, eaten in the Pearl, maybe visited a salon in the Pearl...
But, did you know that you can have the majority of your healthcare needs satisfied in the Pearl ?
As we continue to grow, new healthcare providers are opening their doors, and the Pearl just continues to get bigger and better !
While my blogs are geared toward those of XX persuasion, there are great resources for both men and women in our very own hood.
SO Why mention hysterectomy in a blog ?
Is this too graphic, not appropriate material for a neighborhood website ?
Well, those of you who find yourself debilitated once a month (or more) know what I'm talking about-
Afterall, without your health, is anything else really important ?
Look at the statistics--->
One in four women in the US will have a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) by age 60.
That's over 1/2 million surgeries a year for a shopping list of medical issues tha
