I’m fairly mean to my adopted hometown of Portland. At least some of the time.
So tonight, to spread some good will, I will list the TOP PORTLAND (and/or Oregon) BLOGS…according to me. I didn’t go searching far and wide, so please leave any suggested sites in the comments.
But with further ado…
***Iced Borscht’s Favorite Oregon Blogs!!!!!! Crank It Up!!!!***
- ICED BORSCHT & OTHER DELIGHTS. I’d be remiss if I didn’t include myself. Who else represents East County with such flair? I’m the Duke of 82nd Avenue, the Sultan of Foster Road. The Darling of Hazelwood, THE MONARCH OF THE GLEN.
- LOST OREGON. This blog is incredible. It certainly needs no PR from me. It’s an online museum for our state’s past, a stroll down memory lane in a way that’s never too kitschy or cute, as “nostalgia” sites often are. A valuable resource.
- LIQUIDITY PREFERENCE. The personal Weblog of Jacob Grier, one of the best political minds in town. Some day I will go bother him at his bartending gig and inquire about his time with the Cato Institute.
- NANCY ROMMELMANN. Nancy’s a new discovery for me, and I have quickly taken a liking to her stuff. She’s got depth, she’s got Reason, she’s got Mom Power.
- MUTATE! I can never really tell what goes on here, but I’m usually intrigued despite (or because) of the confusion. That’s how I roll mutate.
- OREGON NATURAL HISTORY COALITION. I’m a natural history nut. You know what sucks, though? There’s no natural history museum in our comely city. That’s where the Oregon Natural History Coalition plays a key role. These nice people are trying their damnedest to get such a museum built. Help them!
- OREGON MEDIA CENTRAL. I’m a vocal critic of local media, and I dislike Portland’s most prominent newspapers. But I’ve exhausted that contempt at my old site and I have no desire to revisit the venom now. Still, I enjoy keeping abreast of media gossip, and Oregon Media Central is the place to go in that regard.
