Washington Ave strip -- lots of good stuff here.Ā Kombucha,Ā sandwiches,Ā Vietnamese,Ā ice cream,Ā mexican/barbecue spotĀ named after cool Texas border town Terlingua, lots more if you just walk around.Ā
Washington BathsĀ - no joke one of my favorite places ever? Guy lived in a trailer on this property and saved his money. He had spent some time in one the Nordic countries (I think Finland) and got obsessed with the sauna culture. Built his own. Really well done. gender separate saunas (naked optional) and communal hot outdoor pool, cold plunge, good snacks/food and light nordic/german beers, wine etc.Ā The salmon soup was great.
The ShopĀ - also on Washington Ave, but deserves its own callout.Ā oysters, tinned fish, day drinking, sun, picnic tables. All things that are good.Ā
Honey PawĀ - amazing food, kinda Thai, kinda Japanese. Drinks are also very good.Ā

Havenāt been to Portland in years so hopefully this is all still relevant. Itās an incredible food town:
- Duck Fat for fries and milkshakes
- Holy Donut
- Mount Desert Island Ice Cream
- lobster role at that basic place on the water. I forget the name but remember it being very good.
- there was an arcade bar called Arcadia that was pretty fun, not sure if still there

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKERāS DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. š„³
unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!!
if you donāt have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIOās page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. thereās always more power in a union!! āš„š¹
