Oregon Has Its Own Croissant, and It’s Very Oregon
My wife and I have lived in Portland some half-dozen times over the past two decades-plus, which also means we’ve left with the same frequency…while always visiting as much as possible.

I stepped into Sushi Kuni & Cocktail Bar in West Linn expecting the usual all-you-can-eat sushi setup, but what I found completely blew my mind. This isn’t about stale rolls or endless rice – premium fish flies in twice a week straight from Tokyo’s legendary Toyosu Market, and the Japanese-trained chefs serve it omakase-style right in front of you.

Redmond’s A.M. Interstate back with Bend show Saturday
Seasoned Central Oregon music heads may remember the mid-2000s, when a Redmond-based band called A.M. Interstate made some significant noise beyond our little local region. Anchored by brothers Cy and Seth Erickson, the group signed to a couple of cool independent record labels (Turquoise Mountain and Poison Tree), played some prestigious music festivals (SXSW, CMJ, International Pop Overthrow) and toured all over. In 2006, they released their self-titled debut album, and in 2008, they released “Kimono Dragon,” about which I wrote this in the same publication you hold in your hands today:
