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!
