Pho Pot Still Shut Less Than Three Months After Sewage Flood, Eyes Black Friday Reopening

Less than three months after sewage backed up through the drains at Ballad Towne Square and flooded Pho Pot's kitchen, the Forest Grove restaurant is still closed, still gutted, and still scrambling to pay for a rebuild that owner Michelle Tran says could run close to $100,000 just for a new walk-in cooler and freezer. Tran is now hoping to reopen the Vietnamese restaurant on Black Friday, Nov. 27, at its longtime spot at 2834 Pacific Ave.

A New Vision for Native American Art at Portland Art Museum

At PAM, galleries showing Indigenous works have been reinstalled and reimagined. Tucked in the Portland Art Museum’s refreshed second-floor galleries hangs a vibrant, kaleidoscopic artwork of geometric patterns overlaid with the words “Past + Future = Present.” Created by Choctaw and Cherokee artist Jeffrey Gibson for the US Pavilion at the 2024 Venice Biennale, the piece is part of Shifting the Narrative: 21st Century Acquisitions, an exhibition that kicked off last fall when the museum unveiled its transformed space. Displayed alongside flat bags from the Columbia River Plateau region, Choctaw basketry, Northwest Coast transformation masks, and works from contemporary artists Lillian Pitt, Julie Buffalohead, Sara Siestreem, and Will Wilson, Gibson’s words also point to a curatorial shift.

A pie called the Elvis stacks chocolate, banana cream, and peanut butter into one slice. That alone deserves a road trip.
