5 Best Restaurants in Hillsboro, Oregon You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Hillsboro, Oregon — a city where the Tualatin Valley rolls green and generous beneath a sky that always seems to be shifting, where the scent of cedar mingles with the aroma of roasting coffee, and where neighborhoods are stitched together by the laughter of children, the hum of tech workers, and the quiet pride of families who have called this place home for generations. Here, glass towers rise beside berry fields, and food trucks park in the shadow of historic storefronts, each corner humming with the stories of newcomers and old-timers alike.

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.
