Big Discounts for the Bite of Oregon

August 7th, 2009

Today (Friday, August 7) kicks off the Bite of Oregon. This popular annual event held at Waterfront Park in Portland brings together the best food, entertainment and fun that the city has to offer, all in a single weekend.

This first day of the event you can get in for only $5 before 5pm. You can also grab yourself a Bite of Oregon Super Saver Pass which gets you in for all 3 days and runs just $14.

These are some nice discounts to take advantage of. The Super Saver Passes are in limited quantities, so I suggest you get down there early to get them.

I’ll be headed down to The Bite on Saturday myself to shoot some video, take photos and put together an all new page at http://uniquely-portland-oregon.com to replace my present page, http://www.uniquely-portland-oregon.com/bite-of-oregon.html

Maybe I’ll see you there? Tweet me at http://twitter.com/ThePDXGuy

Regards,

Tony

Covering the 2009 Street of Dreams

August 3rd, 2009

I’m headed into the gorgeous Pearl District of Portland to cover the 2009 Street of Dreams this Wednesday.

This year’s Street of Dreams is the absolute bomb! Why? Past years focused on homes…this year they are highlighting condos. This is really a breath of fresh air and sure to attract a whole new lot of visitors. I’m absolutely thrilled to be promoting it. I’ll be down with my cameras, taking in all the great homes that rise high above the city and then coming back to report it all on the Uniquely Portland Oregon web site.

Keep an eye on my YouTube channel for some great video coverage that will surely make you drool, whether you are in the market or not. I mean, sheesh! All you need is a cool $1 – $4 million to grab yourself one of these hot Pearl comodoties. ;)

Stay tuned, follow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/ThePDXGuy, and I’ll let you know when the goods are available.

Lates! ;)

Portland Japanese Garden Opens for Five Summer Evenings to Host Sunset at Shoji

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Portland, OR — Now visitors can enjoy lovely summer evenings in one of Portland’s most beautiful places—the Portland Japanese Garden. As a new feature of the Garden’s annual Behind the Shoji art show and sale, Sunset at Shoji takes place every Thursday during the art show with the Garden remaining open to the public until 9pm.

Sunset at Shoji is free with Garden admission and occurs on the following Thursdays: July 30 and August 6, 13, 20, 27.

“This is a rare treat for Garden visitors,” said Steve Bloom, Executive Director at the Garden. “The Garden is exquisite in the later summer evening hours and we think our new Sunset at Shoji hours on Thursdays from 7-9pm will give our guests a chance to stay a little longer, to join us after work or dinner, to stroll the Garden, and to spend time at our spectacular art show.”

Behind the Shoji begins July 25 and runs everyday through August 30, and Sunset at Shoji takes place on Thursdays from 7-9pm starting on July 30 and ending on August 27.

The Portland Japanese Garden has been proclaimed by his Excellency Nobuo Matsunaga, former Ambassador of Japan, to be “the most beautiful and authentic Japanese garden in the world outside of Japan.” The Garden is above Washington Park at 611 SW Kingston Avenue in SW Portland, Oregon. The Garden is open daily except on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s.
