I know you’re not a fan of Bakersfield but our county has taken action on homelessness. They’ve built a center where homeless people can live safely and also get financial, legal, and other types of help, including help getting into a permanent housing situation. A friend of mine has been volunteering there for several months. From what I understand, law enforcement officials can connect the homeless with this center.
I’m sure the basketball crew will do a great job with the tournament as usual but to think that visitors won’t be shocked by the state of the city is naive.
The NCAA Tournament is a great opportunity to showcase Portland! From a national perspective, Portland still seems to have a positive outlook & reputation. However from a regional & local perspective, we know much work is needed to bring Portland back to its former glory. I hope the tournament creates additional motivation & momentum for government leaders & the community as a whole to enact policies that propels Portland back to greatness. Portland is the rose city, let’s not accept anything less!

And Portland might get to see a dangerous Indiana University team. I hope so, because then I get to come to Portland to see them play St. Marys!
Sequel to "Hoosiers" set in PDX?
That would be so sweet! They are a better team than their record indicates. Cheers...

Portland City Hall spin: All those blue tarps are just locals showing their support for UCLA.
Hey John,
How about some more inside information on Oregon WBB and their bid?
Had Oregon coach Kelly Graves on the show today. More to come.
Portland. #mycityofruins. Come on Rise Up!
