Oregon’s First Millionaire Built This Riverside Mansion, and Its Octagonal Tower Still Rules the Skyline

In the 1940s, a grand Victorian house in Astoria was so unwanted that the family that owned it had trouble giving it away. The city almost knocked it down to make room for a parking lot. Today that same house fills a full city block, holds over 11,000 square feet of rooms, and draws history fans from all over.

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.

BUTCH’S BLOG – MOVIE REVIEW: “Wildwood”—an amazing film

I’m not normally a fan of animated films, and so was somewhat hesitant to go with my wife to see the new animated movie, “Wildwood”, that was playing at our cute little local movie theater. As usually happens, I was glad I followed Beverly’s lead. Even though the film was long, and I was squirming in my seat at times — more about a sketchy back than a loss of interest in what we were experiencing — I never checked out of the thoroughly immersive experience.

This Oregon Library Brings the Feeling of Walking Through a Forest Indoors

What if walking into a library felt a little like stepping into a forest? In Gresham, Oregon, that idea has taken shape through towering wooden columns, sunlit interiors, and spaces that gradually shift from lively gathering spots to quiet reading corners. Completed in 2026, East County Library brings the natural character of the Pacific Northwest into a public building, creating an environment where architecture, learning, and community life come together.

This Oregon Bookstore Fills An Entire City Block With Rooms Of New And Used Books And Is A Cozy Pick For 2027

Most bookstores get by with a few aisles. This Oregon one needs nine color-coded rooms and more than 3,500 subsections, so grabbing a map isn’t optional. It takes up an entire city block. The collection tops one million new, used, and rare books between the store and its online inventory, which is a lot of happily-ever-afters under one roof.
