One of Portland's most beloved bars is changing hands: After 20 years, the sisters who own Dots Cafe on SE Clinton are moving on. Though the café's name, menu, and large collection of velvet paintings are part of the sale, longtime staffers and patrons are crossing their fingers that not too much will change at the Portland institution. "It's the end of an era," summed up seven-year employee Amy Squier. "I'm devastated. My daughter has grown up here. It's been a longtime family." Stop by on June 30 to snag an order of cheesy fries and say goodbye to Dots' owners, Monica and Jennifer Ransdell.

Say goodbye to Monday library visits. Thanks to budget cuts, Monday, June 25, was the last Monday you could set foot inside a Multnomah County Library branch. Will this be permanent? Maybe not. While the temporary tax levy we voted for in May wasn't enough to save Mondays, it staved off worse cuts and showed the community's eagerness to fund their libraries. This summer, county commissioners will decide whether to ask voters to create a library taxing district—a more permanent and stable source of funding that could maybe be enough to bring back Mondays.

Dozens of Occupy Portland protesters once again packed Multnomah County Judge Cheryl Albrecht's courtroom on Monday, June 25, hoping to find out when they might get their day in court for alleged violations stemming from winter protests. But, once again, no trial dates were set. The reason, this time: the Portland Police Bureau. Since April, the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office has been under a court order requiring it to snag police records related to Occupy arrests and share them with occupiers. But the DA's office says the cops have been slow to share. Meanwhile the occupiers' brain trust of defense attorneys is insisting they get the records before going to trial. NG
