Lulu Portland PET CHARITY makes final rounds of Rachel Ray - NEED YOUR VOTES!!!

Hey fine people & pet lovers of Portland!

Project POOCH is only 2 rounds away from winning $50,000 in Rachael Ray's Mutt Madness but we need your help to make it to the finals.

Angela Portland Blog- This Week in Portland November 21 - 28

Ah, its only a few days away now: Thanksgiving! Here's hoping you have something fun planned and get a day or two to relax and enjoy the holiday with family and friends.

Lorri E. Portland Blog - This Week in Portland - November 7-14, 2009

I can hardly believe we are at the end of the first week in November already...my, how time flies. I need to get out and put the "Moss Out" on the lawn. My white picket fence and arbor is already turning green, and my rose bushes need a winter trim. And I already forgot to plant flower bulbs for next spring, and now it is soggy and wet outside so I may not get to that at all this year. I was shopping in Fred Meyer on Halloween looking for a last minute costume and was horrified to discover Chris… Continue

Stick around for a post-video discussion on the role of radical journalists and news media today. Saturday, Novembe… Continue

Lorri E. This Week in Portland - October 24 to October 31, 2009

Hello, Portland, and hello rain...it's b-a-a-c-k. Yesterday I was driving downtown and wet leaves were falling from the trees and onto my windshield. Ugh...there still might be some leaves left for a couple last chances of photos of the autumn leaves changing, but we are running out of time this season. Today's weather forecast is partly cloudy so this might be a good day to get outside! I don't know about you, but I am in the mood for fall. The cool air has me already lighting a fire in my fir… Continue
