Ugh. We’re ready for this dreary rain to end. However, despite the nonstop rain and cloudy skies, it’s still been an eventful weekend...

As Neighborhood Notes and Portland Public Art have noted, Contact II has been sent to sculpture rehab.

Also bringing some excitement to the weekend: a loud knock at the door in the wee hours of Saturday morning. The culprit was our little sister. She bartends here in the Pearl and after a late shift and hanging with friends, she returned to find her car window shattered and valuables stolen. She left her purse in plain view. Go figure. Word to the wise: even in this great neighborhood, that’s asking for trouble. We did our best to create a makeshift window covering for rain protection, but to be honest, we were sleepwalking...

On the bright side, we did finally try The District – that new bar situated in between The Vault and Everett Street Bistro. It was great – comfy couches, a casual (yet stylish) atmosphere and friendly service. We grabbed a few seats by the window, which made for some entertaining people watching of the crowds walking by. Oh, and we loved their menu. Everything is $8 (except beer, which is $4). We really hope The District lasts longer than their predecessors in this space!
