Cool... NYC built by druids.

That's what Vera & her PDC have in mind for every Portland neighborhood.

BTW, those "needle towers" in the SoWhat don't look so "needle". They look kinda fat and seem as opaque as that crap in the picture.

Thanks

Come, now, Jim -- they're as thin as the needles on a comb. And housing thousands of new biotech jobs! If you don't believe me, just ask the new $700K-plus-a-year (not counting $200K "signing bonus" staying with same employer) head of OHSU. Linchpin City!

$200K "signing bonus"

That's a lot of underpants.

Fabulous site. Bookmarked; e-mailed.

I've relocated back to my hometown: Medford. I now have to resume regular blogcheck for a read on politics of the state if not the city I was glad to leave two years back.

The shock of the OHSU director salary bolted through us here, too. There are plans for a downtown redevelopment in Medford that seem to have sprung whole from Pdx/PDC-type developers ("urban" condos .... sans the "urban" or the pearls). That's been another stunner. Must be the times or tides.
