This Oregon Fabric Store Lets Budget Sewists Fill a Whole Cart Without the Guilt

Some shoppers walk in needing one zipper and walk out with three projects’ worth of fabric tucked under each arm. That happens a lot at one big fabric shop in Beaverton, Oregon.

This Oregon Pizzeria Is So Good Everyone Says You Have To Drive And Try It

People rarely agree unanimously on where to find the best pizza. Somehow, this Oregon spot ends every single one of those arguments before it even starts.

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.
