Hot off the press! Well, not really. I just heard it on the radio, while typing this. Congratulations going out this morning to Portland. Why? Forbes Magazine has just released its 2009 list of Most Livable Cities in the US, and guess who's Number 1? Good ol' P-town! This morning, my walk continues dockside with a look across the water towards the A.L. Griffin Inc. Ship Chandlery. Interesting word chandlery: a warehouse for goods, equipment and ship supplies. J's Oyster Bar is close by-- warm July afternoons, crabs, clams, oysters, beverages and the Sox on the big screen. Can it get any better?

No, it can't. You have good reason to be proud! Congratulations. But then we always knew Portland was the most Livable City in the US, didn't we?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo. Looks like it could have been taken any time in the last 50 years. Nice.
ReplyDeleteInteresting post. Portland used to be all rain, or that is what people who didn't live there said.
ReplyDeleteI know our weather has changed but we still get the storms.
