GOOD MORNING, BLOGTOWN! I like the way you look at me, I like the time we spend baby, I like what we have grown to be, I like it girl, don't you know I like it. LET'S GO TO PRESS.

As our Dirk VanderHart reported this weekend, homeless advocates will set up an "economic refugee camp" for those who are being displaced by the Springwater Corridor sweep.

But that didn't stop homeless people and homeowners near the Springwater to get into shouting matches last night.

The Timbers fall to the LA Galaxy 2-1, and even worse, beloved player Nat Borchers was injured.

On Friday The Atlantic came out with a feature on Portland that slammed its racist history and declared it the "whitest city in America." OUCH, and yup.

Seattle and Portland can claim the fastest rising rents in the country, but at least one Seattle city council person is trying to do something about it.

Talk about timing! DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz is resigning her seat on the eve of the Democratic Convention following emails revealing that DNC top brass showed favoritism to Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders. (There's also a hilarious rumor that the Russian government hacked the emails in a bid to get Trump elected. OH BOY WHAT AN ELECTION!)

Speaking of Bernie, he and Michelle Obama will appear side-by-side tonight at the convention in an attempt to show party unity. But who knows what will happen, right?


Another mass shooting to start the week: Two dead (including a 14-year-old) and 17 were injured when a gunman opened fire outside a Fort Myers, Florida nightclub.

Web pioneer Yahoo is selling the majority of their business to Verizon for nearly 5 billion.

Today in "fortunate/unfortunate" news: Turns out initial tests were wrong, and Colorado's water supply is not tainted with THC as previously thought (and maybe hoped?).

Athletes arriving for the Rio Olympics may not have the best apartments, but at least they're receiving 42 condoms each.

Now let's look at the WEATHER outside: A sunny, sunny week ahead with a high today of 88 degrees.

And finally, OH BOY IT'S THE NEW WONDER WOMAN TRAILER THAT DEBUTED AT COMIC-CON, AND... AND... OH, BOY!!!
