Readers respond: Political ads need integrity

I am very disappointed, confused and frankly disgusted by what political advertising has become in our country. Election after election, we are bombarded with nothing but negative ads telling us how bad the opposing candidate is. Then the other side does the same thing. In the end, the voter knows very little, other than that both candidates are not a good choice.

The Best New Bars in Portland Right Now

The closure of several high-profile and well-loved drinking establishments, Pink Rabbit, Expatriate, and Eastburn among them, has the Oregonian speculating that Portland may be in the midst of another "barmageddon."
