Opposite side of the continent and on the other side of the border in Toronto, there are hints and reminders of the wonderful @cowlickbarbershop back home in the @fosterareapdx neighborhood.

So delighted to have @kyle_raye_ritchie and crew keeping the cuts clean and their service running.

This past Saturday, 10 amazing volunteers gathered on Foster Road and pulled 11 FULL bags (about 88 lbs!) of litter off of Foster Road and out of Laurelwood Park.
Huge shoutout to everyone who pitched in! 💛

Ready to keep that momentum going?

Sometimes date night can be simple and al fresco.

Grab all the briny things in the fridge, crusty bread, some dairy/non-dairy creamy things, and meats/non-meats. Eat, watch the sun dip behind the neighborhood, kiss. Enjoy.

Thanks @pbotinfo and @fosterpowellna

P.S. It is not lost on me that I am also wearing a shirt that supports another great PDX neighborhood. @stjohnsneighborhoodassociation
