Things to Do

This weekend, July enters the rearview, and we welcome August with open (if not a little sweaty and sunburned) arms, especially since there’s a whole lot of very fun Things to Do this weekend, like catching the big Pickathon at Home finale, seeing how Lollapalooza translates to the livestream experience, bidding on bottles of only […]

In a normal year, this is the part of summer movie season where titles start to dry up, blockbusters start to lumber away from screens, and film fans start taking risks on sleepers and lesser-known flicks. But 2020 is not a normal year, and summer movie season basically doesn’t exist. But that doesn’t mean we’re […]

The timing was perfect: Just around the time Gym Jordan started in on “Unhinged Sweaty Congressional Conspiracy Rant #184” at the (mostly useless) Bill Barr hearings, the 72nd Annual Emmy nominations were announced, allowing people to shift their attention and energy from one misguided display of sorry pageantry to a completely different and much more […]

Well, this is it: The last week of July. This coming weekend we enter August territory, and that puts us one more month closer to this year finally ending, and things hopefully getting better.

This weekend provides plenty of opportunities to exercise your First Amendment rights, either through organized discussions about how […]

When COVID-19 forced businesses to close their doors in droves back in March, many local farmers markets went on hiatus, too. But as the region began to re-open into Phase One, markets started coming back, some with online ordering, and all with social distancing guidelines. In fact, for many who have come to see going […]

With the number of COVID-19 cases increasing across the state, it’s more imperative than ever that you wear a mask and keep your distance if you decide to head out. But if you’re cool with staying in, good news: We’ve got plenty of things to do in Portland this week, including a battle between hip-hop […]

For National Ice Cream Day on Sunday, July 19 and All Summer Long

The cases keep climbing, the temperature’s climbing right along with it, and if you look at the news, there’s about five metric tons of WTF constantly churning at 500 mph.
