PDX Desperation

This was a fun find in my mailbox. It is from my friend Laurie and came with a preprinted message.

Dear Friends—I had so much fun celebrating Central City Concern’s Grand Opening of the Starlight! These affordable homes are going to make a real difference in people’s lives. Portland is coming back! Come visit my town anytime—this is a special place!

I enjoyed both the promo of much needed deeply affordable and supportive housing, but also the whiff of desperation about Portland “coming back.”

Laurie noted that the canned message isn’t her message to me, but that she knows I love postcards and so since they were giving them out she sent me one.

A very fun day in my mailbox!

Sara sent this cute postcard that she found while shopping for Christmas gifts in downtown Arcata. This year, she and Shawn are visiting Newport for the holiday.

Fun discovery. While looking up the artist, I discovered that the company distributing the postcard is based in Portland, and their location is not far from my house. They have a lot of cute stuff, so check out their website.
