Pawsitively Saved Rescue Searches for New Location as Year-End Move Looms

NEWBERG, Ore. — Walking into Pawsitively Saved Rescue is a little quieter these days. Not necessarily because there is a shortage of adoptable animals in the area.

BUTCH’S BLOG – MOVIE REVIEW: “Wildwood”—an amazing film

I’m not normally a fan of animated films, and so was somewhat hesitant to go with my wife to see the new animated movie, “Wildwood”, that was playing at our cute little local movie theater. As usually happens, I was glad I followed Beverly’s lead. Even though the film was long, and I was squirming in my seat at times — more about a sketchy back than a loss of interest in what we were experiencing — I never checked out of the thoroughly immersive experience.

This Oregon Bookstore Fills An Entire City Block With Rooms Of New And Used Books And Is A Cozy Pick For 2027

Most bookstores get by with a few aisles. This Oregon one needs nine color-coded rooms and more than 3,500 subsections, so grabbing a map isn’t optional. It takes up an entire city block. The collection tops one million new, used, and rare books between the store and its online inventory, which is a lot of happily-ever-afters under one roof.

New photo book shows life on the streets of Portland

Three years ago, Keith Zimmerman picked up a camera for the first time at the age of 49. His new photo book "Outside" is his self-published debut depicting the lives of dozens of people sheltering on the streets of Portland — an experience that he is personally familiar with. This month Keith celebrated eight years of sobriety after experiencing addiction and homelessness for decades. “People living outside are just like you — they’re our neighbors,” said Keith, who goes by his artist name, Keith Z. “I wanted to allow a space for somebody who’s not necessarily had that experience to be able to get close to these people and consider them as human beings.” Video and writing by Jireh Deng/OPB Additional photos by Keith Zimmerman.

A 40-year-old Portland man says he lost half of his foot after it became infected from unsterilized tools used during a pedicure he received at a local nail salon. Nathan Fields has filed a $913,000 lawsuit against Eden Salon & Spa, claiming that a nail technician “severely cut” his big toe during the March 2025 pedicure and that ultimately led to two amputations that carved away all of his toes and much of his foot.

Crows looking for grub leave Portland-area lawns in tatters

PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — Portland-area lawns have nothing to crow about these days. Crows are feasting on grubs, leaving turfs torn up. A grub is essentially a beetle. It’s an invasive species. It’s a tasty snack for crows and racoons and other scavengers, but it’s the crows that are doing the most damage to yards.
