	Bring Major League Baseball to Portland - Portland Baseball Group
		One of the most common mistakes in the debate about major league baseball in Portland is to cite generic academic studies that claim the economic impact of new stadiums is minimal, as Sunday's article did in quoting a 1997 report from Andrew Zimbalist.
		To engage in a credible discussion about the economic benefits derived for Portland, and Oregon, the analysis must be specific to our unique situation, which consists of a new stadium and a new team.
		In the end, Portland's projections are not born out of optimism, but rather as a result of thorough analysis and reasonable assumptions.

	Shanghai Tunnel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Portland was unique because trap doors (known as "deadfalls") were used to drop the unsuspecting victims into the "Portland Underground", where they were forcibly held in cells until the ship was ready to set sail.
		These are educational tours of the infamous "Portland Underground" that focuses on the shanghai trade in the City of Portland that survived from 1850-1941, as well as "white slavery", prohibition, and even the turn-of-the-century history of the Industrial Workers of the World (I.W.W.) labor movement in the Northwest.
		Portland, Oregon, the Victorian-refined "City of Roses" along the Willamette River, earned the reputation of being the "Shanghai Capital of the World" because of the uncontrolled shanghaiing of unsuspecting men.

	Breweries in Portland, Oregon - Travel - New York Times
		On a visit to Portland in November, raindrops collected in puddles on the city streets, umbrellas were unfurled under gray skies and the light of day began dimming by midafternoon.
		Portland's reputation for producing quality craft beers developed in the 1980's, when Oregon repealed Prohibition-era laws banning brew pubs (restaurants with on-site breweries), helping to pave the way for the opening of several microbreweries.
		The Oregon Brewers Guild offers a map of local breweries for visitors, but a good place to kick off a tasting tour of Portland beers is at one of the city's oldest and largest breweries, Widmer Brothers Brewing Company, located in an industrial center on the east bank of the Willamette River.

	Dogs Steal Yarn: Still not enough to get me to leave Brooklyn
		The only experience I have with Brooklyn is a drunken Saturday walk from the subway stop to a friend's house in Park Slope, at 4 a.m., and the subsequent "oh shit, I'm late for the convention I'm IN New York to be at" run back to the subway at 7:30 a.m., still drunk.
		I know Brooklyn has a lot going for it, but I don't know how livable it is. Pdx is cheap, friendly, all kinds of great art stuff going on (I was in the Urban Iditarod and an Art Walk this weekend), good knitting stuff.
		Portland was so different from New York that I found it difficult to acclimate to it.

	Portland YWCA: World War II
		Oregon witnessed tremendous human mobilization in the shipyards, the military, and internment camps and most of this activity touched Portland directly.
		This innovation, capped by the hiring of Marjorie Jackson as the first African-American associate executive director of a city YWCA, earned the Portland YWCA high marks with the National, thought to be "second only to Brooklyn in integration of membership," according to a 1944 report.
		Although the city in 1950 was marked by "financial insolvency, cultural backwardness, and racial prejudice," according to one scholar, the Portland YWCA embraced racial integration, heralded the new United Nations and expanded roles for women in the public sphere, and embraced an ambitious capital campaign for a new building in downtown Portland.
