At this month’s Montavilla Neighborhood Association meeting, there was an interesting presentation about Rocket Empire Machine, the building at 6935 NE Glisan St that’s being rehabilitated as a hub for small businesses.
We’ll have the video from the meeting ready next week.
***
There’s also discussion of a fabulously late Pride street party event for Montavilla. Contact folks at the MNA for how to help make that happen.
Movie series:
Again this year, Academy Theater is hosting a Summer Repertory Series that began last week. This weeks showings are “The Thing” (1982) and “Singing in the Rain” (1972).

Hi Andrew, The whole block of 9200 SE Taylor Street is having a Yard Sale on Sunday June 23 from 9 on. We will also have a table on earthquake preparedness and neighborhood watch. The sale was an idea of a resident at last year’s block party on our street. I am asking you to promote this as a great idea for other streets to do as another way to get to know your neighbors. In Amsterdam they allow a yard sale once a year (on the king’s birthday) and the whole city turns out, kids buy/sell toys, sports equipment, etc. I see this as a recycle, reuse, repurpose sustainability event. Thanks, Louise Hoff (9240 se taylor)

Hi Louise! Thanks for reaching out!
We’d be happy to share that event… we’ll include the historical background as well.
