No Portlanders Died in Bicycle Accidents in 2008
Last Sunday in New York, the Street Memorial Project organized a ride in memory of the 14 bicyclists and more than 100 pedestrians killed by cars in the city in 2008. You can see the StreetFilm about the ride here. In Portland, OR, they marked a much happier milestone this New Year's.

When In Portland, Do As the Portlanders Do
Submitted by Joe Orzali One of the things that the hordes of newcomers to Portland, OR learn quickly is that the job market can be a tough nut to crack. For many folks, this brings out their creativity, as evident in the modern day versions of the open air market providing direct to consumer commerce downtown at the Saturday market every weekend and every last Thursday of the month along NE Alberta St. These are a few of the unique features of Portland that seem born out of necessity and do their part to “Keep Portland Weird.”
