Multnomah Village Miscellany

  • Have you been to the Multnomah Village Post’s website lately? Neither had I, but it’s been freshened up a bit and is worth a visit. There’s a nice article on there about the history of Maplewood School
  • Speaking of Maplewood, we went down for the “art night” last week where the scene was pretty chaotic, but Jr. V had a good time. We ran into Shawn Levy and talked for a bit, Shawn having just returned from the Sundance festival. (Read about his advenutres on his ‘blog, at this link). Many familiar faces in the Maplewood Gym. I was back at the school for a bit a few days ago to take some pictures in Jr. V’s class. It seems we’ve been volunteered for the “yearbook committee”, which reminds me that I have a CD to burn.
  • Tomorrow is first friday! Drop in to Sip D’Vine and wish them happy birthday (5), and it looks like the pet supply store is open.
  • I’ve noticed lights on in (the future) Journey’s Pub (Which I’ve posted about before) so one would assume that the opening day, or evening as it were, is coming soon. I do hope that this turns out to be a cool place, since it sounds like the sort of place I might like to hang out. And I’m in the mood, I’ve been watching Michael Palin’s “Himalaya” the last couple of nights, and now I’m all in the mood to go to Bhutan. Or maybe just Smith Rock. Still….
  • Anybody know what’s going into the large now-empty space next to Switch Shoes?
  • How long is it going to take for “said”, whatever that is going to be, to finish moving into the Village Yoga space? Opening a business is not easy, true, but this has been one l-o-n-g prep process, no?
  • Oh and while I’m on the subject, I can’t decide whether I think “Little Shop of Drawers” is a name worth a smile, or an eye-roll. Kind of depends on when you ask me. Buy me something, Seymour?
  • Anyone see the great full moon tonight?

    The woman who owns the quilt shop across the street said that she heard it was going to be a children’s clothing shop…

    Excellent - thanks for the info! I’ll have to walk up and take a look - from the peeks I’ve been getting as I drive past on the way home from work, there’s quite a bit of work going on inside. Should be a nice looking place.

    It’s going to be a bridal shop.
