Just chiming in to connect with fellow gardeners. Gauging interest in a possible meet up/club where we could get together and chat about what has worked or not worked, trade seeds, learn, preservation, etc. I'm a novice at it but would love to pick harvest some brains.
Or of there is already such a group, I'd love to get some details, thanks!
If the city takes its obligations for maintaining unobstructed and safe sidewalks seriously, then it must be time to look into the system for which the city has set up to address this problem.
Because if safe unobstructed sidewalks is the goal, It doesn’t appear that the system surround that goal is working, at least not in my area (McLoughlin Historic district). Maybe it is in yours?
I can only upload a single photo to back up my experience. You can see the overgrown bush and hidden ADA trip hazards on the sidewalk. The sidewalk is almost entirely engulfed by this bush and littered with ADA violations like you see.
Once I passed this mess, I was instantly met with another obstacle made of overgrown black berry bushes covering the sidewalk and the sidewalk ADA violations got even worse. The panel ahead of this mess is lifted so high from a tree root, I legit thought it was a stair tread.
Then after I pass that section, half the sidewalk on the other side of 11th and Washington is buried under rocks, dirt and ivy and the shrubs are so over grown you can’t access the other 50% of the sidewalk with out getting smacked in the face.
We are playing a show near the falls on the Willamette river August 22. Come cruise around with us in the river.
I just want to point out that the City Manager, Tony Konkol, does not live in Oregon city.
The city he manages is not good enough for him to live.
Tony Konkol takes his roughly ~$250,000 salary (paid for via Oregon City resident Taxes) and spends it in Lake Oswego taxes to better their community while I feel ours suffers.
Could somebody please explain to me about Willamette Falls Hospital? Is it a waterfall or is it a damn? I’ve never seen waterfalls that had so much concrete guiding the water. I understand now that PGE uses it to make electricity. That’s great. But I don’t understand if it’s a waterfall or a dam. Could somebody please explain it to me like I’m five.
William Gifford of smALL FLAGs, a bona fide vexillologist, sat down with us to explain Oregon City's new flag: what it symbolizes, how the community shaped the design, and why the old flag had to go.
I need about 10 pounds of small pickling cucumbers. I usually get them on Sauvie Island, but I was hoping there would be a closer farm. Ideas?
