On the Hunt / Bday
Sep 13 Mon (12 AM)
Amy and I are hunting for a new apartment. She has been and I’m finally fed up with the noise levels from the traffic on Belmont.
Southeast Portland has a number of east-west feeder streets. Working down from Burnside (which devides the postal addresses North and South) there’s Stark, Belmont, Hawthorne, Division and Powell. (The N-S streets are numbered.) Hawthorne, Belmont and Powell connect up to bridges directly into downtown. (The Morrison, Hawthorne and Ross Island, respectively.)
Out of the three, Belmont is the least equiped to handle the traffic volume. Where we are situated, there’s a rather tight corridor of buildings (great for collecting sound) and a 24 Plaid Pantry “quik-mart” right next door (great for attracting sound).
If anyone has any suggestions for a 2 bedroom in inner SE or downtown, with a Washer and Dryer that allows pets, drop me a line.
Bo sent me a couple notes this past week, including a link to a site that he thinks (rightly) is right up my alley. <http://www.quietsiren.com/font.html> It’s about type and the love of type. Amy and I were looking a book this evening about this very subject. I do love type.
Bo’s other note was about his Birthday. (HB Bo!) And he also noted that mine is coming up as well. That’s right my quarter century mark is coming up this Friday, the 17th. Well wishers can contribute to the ‘Buy Ross a new Mac’ fund, truly a non-profit agency at this point. 🙂
Let’s work this thing back towards being a journal rather than a weblog, shall we?
