Well, Montavilla neighbors are ecstatic about the opening of Fressen Bakery (7075 NE Glisan St).
Their website is beautiful and says they offer “high quality artisan breads, pretzels, and pastries in the German tradition. Give ’em a visit!

It’s been a lot of fun working with Katie Penna, one of several great neighborhood activists who have stepped up recently to work with Village Portland. Part of the core vision of Village Portland is to help neighbors tell their stories (through words or video), so if you’d like to get involved… I can be reached at andrewtaylorwilkins@gmail.com. 🙂
Happy spring!

Annual Glenwood Park Egg Hunt (FB invitation):
“Hi everyone, time for our annual egg hunt. All are welcome. Plastic treat stuffed eggs provided, but please bring more to share! No real eggs please.
Meet at the Glenwood city park playground in the northwest corner of the park. We will “hide” the eggs starting t 12:30 PM and hunt will begin at 1 PM. Last year there was some confusion about the start time (so sorry). The MC will have a whistle and will blow it to get everyone’s attention. This way you will know who is running the event :)”
