Gunplay at Dittler's Beach

Last summer it was stabbing -- this spring it's shooting. The gang enforcement people are on the case -- sounds like the start of a long summer for those folks.

Dittler was a person's name, I thought.

Jack...take my word for it...it WAS and IS diddler's beach. Hi diddle diddle...the cat and the fiddle. There was Shelby...there was Liz...there was Donna....so many so long ago.

"Parking" out by the airport or up on Rocky Butte...or out to Rooster Rock....then to Yaws....that was our entertainment.

Good times!

I have no doubt that you diddled. But that's not the origin of the name of the beach.

Oh man...the comedy!

I think Portland needs a super hero like Phoenix Jones and his lady Purple Reign. Maybe Stenchy wants the job?
