Today's links have a definite bridge theme with stories about the Burnside Bridge Head project, the Sellwood Bridge replacement, and a pedestrian bridge in South Portland. We are a city of bridges. The Oregonian talks about the proposed "Made in Oregon" sign change, and Portland Art gives its picks for First Thursday. Last, there's a story about plans to improve the North Macadam area.

Brian Libby is a mindreader. I've wanted to peek inside Hakoya Lofts on North Williams for a while now, and he published an article about it yesterday on Portland Architecture . It's definitely a 'note of interest' and we hope you enjoy it. photo: Brian Libby

Weekend Bookmarks » Things You May Have Missed (Nov 22 & 23)
by pearlgirl
Just in case you missed them, we found four Portland-related tidbits this weekend: a glowing review of Marc Acito's Holidazed , renewed excitement over Kenton's new public library, handy tips for vegans hosting carnivores for Thanksgiving, and the adventures of 156 volunteers in Hosford-Abernethy. Very satisfying reads.

Yesterday's news highlights were a tad bittersweet: a touching tribute to the life and times of Genoa (closing on Saturday after 38 years in business), Peacock Lane embraces a new holiday tradition, OMSI announces staff cuts (after sharing its expansion plans over the weekend), and the bike boulevard planned for NE Going Street has received overwhelming resident support. What a difference a little time makes, huh? photo: Oregonian <a href="http://ma.gnolia.com/groups/NN" mce_href="http://ma.gnolia.com/groups/NN" rel="me" title="Visit me on Ma.gnolia">Visit me on Ma.gnolia</a> Check out all of our bookmarks on ma.gnolia

There were some interesting tidbits in today's news: a backyard favorite is listed as a harmful invader—don't be fooled by the butterflies and sweet fragrance, this plant is a killer. USPS is raising its shipping rates. This year, it really pays to ship things during, not after, the holidays. Metropolis Cycle Shop and Pedal Bike Tours share a new North Portland space. You might say it's a tandem arrangement. (eyeroll) A Portland holiday tradition goes green with the help of LED lighting. And, finally, proposed height changes in Old Town's historic district draws national attention. <a href="http://ma.gnolia.com/groups/NN" mce_href="http://ma.gnolia.com/groups/NN" rel="me" title="Visit me on Ma.gnolia">Visit me on Ma.gnolia</a>

The State of Oregon Pinot
by stockboy
In a recent Wall Street Journal article, Oregon wines, especially our Pinot Noir, were reviewed. "We are delighted to report that Oregon Pinot continues its upward trajectory. The difference in the wines over the years is remarkable. We found again and again in this tasting that the wines have developed a confidence and depth that beautifully complement their lovely fruit. The wines have not only a purity of fruit but a purity of vision that is very attractive. Like Burgundy itself, these are wines that speak softly to the more romantic parts of our being." The entire article can be read at Wall Street Journal .

Portland A Community Leader
by stockboy
"L.A. could learn a thing or two from Portland... The city is a veritable transit utopia where light rail goes to the airport, parking restrictions increase public transit use and free streetcar service benefits downtown businesses. It also has a 20-year head start on planning. By Steve Hymon, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer August 18, 2008 I recently spent a long weekend in Portland, Ore. It was hard not to marvel at all the things that city does well on the transportation front. I began to wonder what elements could be applied here." To read the entire article check out the LA Times story.
