You continue to be a sterling example of stepping up to own the narrative about Portland, an obligation that we've continually abdicated for far too long. I sincerely hope your example inspires others to swallow their "aggressive humility," share their perspectives, and celebrate the amazing people and projects we have in our midst, day in and day out.
Because each and every one of us has a unique perspective on something that we love about Portland. Or that we geek out about with others. And people deserve to hear more about each of those facets of Portland. From us.
Thank you, Rick. I think we all need to step up and present our visions, and you are a big part of that too. Right now Portland can best be described as “Process in search of Vision” and we need to flip that script—which requires a confidence that Oregonians are not always friendly with. There are currently too many ways to be told no… even if the intention is good.
Love your historical and national perspectives here Mike! I’ve only been here for five years but love,love,love the foodie scene. Thank you!
Thanks Brendan.
