  • Greeting Cards, Postcards, Notepads, Magnets and More
    iambibby catalog 2019 artwork by Christopher bibby Hello and welcome to our 2019 catalog! We design affordable, locally made, high quality greeting cards, postcards, notepads, magnets and more. All of our products feature the art and imagery of Oregon artist Christopher Bibby. Chris’s art acts as a powerful reminder of the beauty of nature. Our goal at iambibby is to help people connect to and share this beauty with each other through our functional, unique products. We also offer journals, calendars, stickers and coasters made by responsible partners in California and china. Christopher’s story My career as an artist began in Glasgow, Scotland in 1997. I was a shy 20 year old boy living on my sister’s couch, working in a coffee shop in the artsy west-end of town. A co-worker saw some of the sketches I had done of Glasgow and said I could help her paint some signs at a local restaurant. I was terrified but went along and did my best. It ended up being a turning point in my life. For two weeks I was paid to draw and paint. It felt like a miracle. This experience led to an epiphany in the form of a question: “What if I could get paid to learn how to paint?” Back at the coffee shop this question consumed me for a week and then compelled me to quit my job. I had no money, no connections, no experience, no materials and no plan but I did have a dream. That dream made a lot more sense to me than my current path of drifting from job to job without true purpose.

  • In Portland, Oregon, a New Generation of Chefs and Producers Are Serving
    In Portland, Oregon, a new generation of chefs and producers are serving up local food that combines creative flair COUNTER with a sense of community Words Claire Nelson Photography Dave Lauridsen CULTURE 84 jamiemagazine.com jamiemagazine.com 85 Left: The sprawling Forest with one of his rooftop Park. Opposite, clockwise hives; grilled octopus at from top left: Tyler Malek Tasty n Alder.

Local’s Damian Magista the hipsters, the hikers, the artists and – perhaps gathering most momentum – the foodies. This leafy metropolis has become THE place to eat – a culinary hotspot, thanks largely to its location in bountiful northern Oregon. The state’s wet winters and balmy summers nurture a boggling variety of produce, including meat and crops from the rugged plains out east, and ample seafood from the Pacific to the west. What doesn’t grow here, friendly neighbour California generously supplies. It’s no surprise that chefs and producers are heading to Portland to make their mark. It’s like a throwback to the pioneering spirit of the Oregon Trail era, when Americans packed their covered wagons and rolled on out here in search of greener pastures. These days, the wagons have given way to food trucks, now numbering more than 600, and the burgeoning street-food scene is now embraced as part of the city’s culture.

  • The Oregonian Ted Wheeler
    The Oregonian Ted Wheeler: Addressing Portland's livability without 'harassing the homeless' (Guest opinion) By Ted Wheeler December 10, 2017 Portland is a dynamic and prosperous city, and I'm honored to serve as your mayor. People are moving here from all around the nation and the world to participate in what our community has to offer, including diverse employment opportunities, thriving and unique neighborhoods, world-class restaurants and access to nature. I am committed to ensuring that, as Portland grows, the things we love about our city grow along with us. The Seattle Times recently characterized our economy as "transformational," and Forbes called Portland the "Best Place for Business and Careers" in the country. A recent survey from Downtown Clean and Safe found that employment, wages and the number of new businesses are all growing. But this success and its resulting growth have come with some big-city problems, among them rising housing costs, concerns about safety, more litter and graffiti, and increased traffic congestion. More than anything else, I hear about the need to address our homeless crisis with clarity, consistency and compassion. In concert with my colleagues in Portland, Multnomah County and the Joint Office of Homeless Services, we've made record investments - driven by record business license revenues - on a compassionate and comprehensive approach to homelessness. Our approach includes more rent assistance, enhanced shelter options, improved community mental health services, addiction treatment and permanent housing. We are doing more, even as the federal government retreats from its commitment to housing and mental health. The goal is to get people the help they need to get off and stay off the streets.

  • ORDINANCE No
    ORDINANCE No. Authorize the Office of Management and Finance, Business Operations to acquire the Made in Oregon Sign and related property, and permanent and temporary easements, through the exercise of the City’s Eminent Domain Authority (Ordinance) The City of Portland ordains: Section 1. The Council finds: 1. The building located at 5 NW Naito Parkway was the original location for the Willamette Tent & Awning Company, the forerunner of the White Stag Company, founded in 1884. In Portland’s early days, when the Willamette River was a “forest” of sailing ships, Willamette Tent & Awning supplied demands for canvas products. Max and Leopold Hirsch purchased Willamette Tent and Awning in 1907 and brought in Harry Weiss as a partner, becoming Hirsch- Weiss. During the depression of the 1930s, Hirsh added new sportswear lines, including ski apparel, and a new name developed: “White Stag” which is the English translation of the German names of Hirsh-Weiss. 2. In 1940, Ramsey Signs built an illuminated sign for the White Satin Sugar Company which rented space on the White Stag Company roof. The sign was altered in 1950 to include animation. In 1959, the sign was converted to its existing form for the White Stag Company. In 1997 the lettering was changed from White Stag Sportswear to Made in Oregon Old Town, retaining the original neon-lit outlines of the state of Oregon. The nose on the reindeer glows red during the Christmas holidays. 3. Original Historic Landmark Designation for the White Stag Sign was approved by Portland City Council on February 23, 1978.
