Portland

One of the activities Oregonians like to do in the Fall and Winter months is head to the movies. According to statistics I found, there are 112 movie theatres in Portland with 600 movie screens. Each theatre averages 5.4 movie screens per theatre.
A theatre I go to frequently, and a favorite of mine, is the Joy Theatre (now called the Joy Cinema & Pub) in Tigard. Not only is it close to my home, but it provides an intimate experience unlike those “big box” movie complexes. It’s more of a neighborhood-type theatre. However, all the popular and current movies are shown there as well.
It had been on the historic site list for Tigard but looks like it was removed from its Historic Places list in 2007. Unfortunately, I don’t know why even though I’ve tried to do some research.
The theatre was built towards the end of the Art Deco movement in 1939 and is an example of the Art Deco Modern Style.
“Art Deco style” gets its name from the ‘Exposition des Arts Decoratifs’ which took place in Paris in 1925. This particular style was first fashionable between 1920 and 1940. It was often used in cruise liners, and many Hollywood movies of the 1930s portray it perfectly. Although often confused with the Art Nouveau style, Art Deco style is more modern and clear in its outlook. As with all styles, it was heavily influenced by ideas and fashions of the time. Archaeologists were making new discoveries in the near East and Middle East. Their influence can be seen in pyramid designs. African safaris were popular, and Latin American culture provided a mystique which Western nations lacked.
Here’s the link for the Joy Theatre and show times. Check it out.

This Fall must have been the prettiest we’ve had in a very long time. At least, I don’t remember having one this nice where all the leaves
were in their finest colors.
were in their finest colors.Here’s a list of some places you can drop off your leaves. By now, hopefully with the rain all the leaves have fallen off the trees. I had already loaded up 15 trash cans of leaves and the other day had around 7 more. I think I’m done raking now. However, I have a compost pile and it will love my leaves! If you don’t have a compost pile, here are some sites locally for you to take your leaves:
2009 Leaf Depot Locations
- Lents Park – SE 92nd and SE Holgate, in the eastside parking lot
- Stanton Yard – 2929 N Kerby, west of Emanuel Hospital
- Westmoreland Park – SE 22nd and SE Nehalem, in parking lot next to the baseball field
- Gabriel Park – SW 42nd and Vermont, in the upper parking lot
Only leaves will be accepted. No other yard debris will be allowed. Please contact Metro Recycling at 503-234-3000 or use your curbside yard debris container for this material.

Regular readers know that I dislike graffiti and have written a couple of posts about it. I think it makes a community look dirty, unkept. Now from Los Angeles comes word that a tagger received a 3 year 3 month jail sentence.
‘…..Sheriff’s officials said they had evidence that Yazdani had marked hundreds of freeway overpasses, concrete walls and
transit buses across the state and southern Nevada. Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies and officials with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers identified at least 20 “Buket” scrawlings along a stretch of the river spanning a couple of miles, causing an estimated $60,000 in damage.”
Here’s some more information on what Los Angeles is doing to deal with those pesky graffiti artists.
To report graffiti in the Tigard area – call the non-emergency Police Department # 503-629-0111
In addition to the other jurisdictions and their abatement programs I have written about, the City of Portland also has a graffiti abatement program and on October 17, 2009 a Portland southwest neighborhood will be cleaned of their graffiti.

Picture of Autumn in Lake Oswego (City-data Website)
Autumn declares its arrival with leaves turning bright crimson, vibrant orange and vivid yellow and it’s one of my favorite times of year. We here in Oregon are fortunate to experience all four seasons and Fall is now in full swing. With schools in session, there is a brief lull before the holidays. Take a trip on some of Oregon’s winding roads that loop and twist through shades of dark green evergreen trees, amid the colored leaves of big leaf maples, alder and mountain ash sometime this week as it’s supposed to be sunny pretty much for the next seven days.
There are some great sites throughout all of Oregon to view the fall leaves. I have a Fall video link on my side bar under my new videos category for viewing. Pretty much anywhere in Oregon you’ll see the changing of colors, however, here are some places of particular interest:
- A drive thru Oregon’s Coast Range
- Forest Park (southwest Portland)
- University of Oregon (Eugene)
- Oregon State University (Corvallis)
- Lewis and Clark College (southwest Portland)
- Marylhurst University (Lake Oswego-West Linn-southwest Portland)
- Reed College (southeast Portland)
- Tryon Creek State Park (southwest Portland)
- Mary S. Young State Park (West Linn)
- Highway 242 – the old McKenzie River Highway from McKenzie Bridge to the top of McKenzie Pass
- Hoyt Arboretum (southwest Portland)
- Japanese Garden (southwest Portland)
- The western section of the Columbia River Gorge (between Portland and Hood River).
- Cook Park (Tigard)
If you want to bring the fall into your own yard, here are some trees recommended for planting:
- Autumn Blaze Maple
- Autumn Flame Maple
- Autumn Purple Ash
- Cascade Snow Cherry
- Chantileer Pear
- Dawn Redwood
- Emerald Queen Norway Maple
- Frontier Elm
- Japanese Stewartia
- Milky Way Kousa Dogwood
- Red Sunset Maple
- Scarlet Oak
- Seiryu Japanese Maple
- Tamarack or Larch
- Vine Maple
As they say on a popular TV show – “Take some time to enjoy the view!”.

Recycling has been around for a very long time but it became popular in the ’70s with homes recycling glass, plastic and metal. However recycling actually started long before that time. There was recycling during World War II when Americans recycled metals by the ton. During the depression era in the ’30s housewives recycled flour sacks into dish towels, pillowcases, aprons and even into children’s clothing. And paper has been recycled in Britain for over 90 years. Now with computers, modems, monitors, etc. we’re into a totally different type of recycling.

Two nights ago on Fox News, there was a story about a family in Tigard who have had a leaking commercial gas tank on their property for years and are now trying to rectify the problem. Unfortunately it sounds easier than it has been for them. Gas has seeped into their water and with the cost of attorneys, removal of most of the dirt in their yard for testing, and removing the tank, it has now become a problem costing $200,000. Attorneys and DEQ are saying it is the responsibility of the previous owners. You can watch the video of the news report here.
There are many kinds of leaking tanks underground. I’ve written a post about one kind “New Rules for Oil Tanks in 2009″ in this blog. The FOX news story said you can check registered underground tanks to see if any are leaking on the DEQ site. Many owners don’t know they have any kind of a tank and many are not registered. In addition, many of those are leaking and if they aren’t leaking now they may eventually leak with age. Here is the link to check on those registered tanks.
Decommissioning a tank can cost thousands of dollars as this Tigard family is finding out. If you’re a seller, a good idea is to have an inspection before you place your property for sale so there are no surprises during a sale and any problems can be resolved. As a buyer, make sure you have an inspection during your purchase and also request the required paperwork on the decommissioning.
PLEASE NOTE: My “Friday Facts: Price Changes & Reductions” post will be late–it will be published on Friday just later than usual.

Portland
With our weather getting nicer, perhaps you’re dreaming of a new kitchen or adding an extra bath to your home. Nothing is more important than your family’s safety. Getting a construction permit before you build or remodel helps protect your loved ones from potentially deadly mistakes. Faulty work can cause house fires, flood damage and structural instability. With a permit, a certified inspector will examine your project to make sure it’s safe and up to code. You and your family can rest easy, avoid costly repairs down the road and preserve your biggest financial investment – your home.
Local agencies throughout the city have their building codes on-line. If you’re planning to update your home by remodeling portions of it, or adding on to an existing structure, you should check out whether a permit is required and what the building code is for your area.
When selling that property you so lovingly remodeled, here in Oregon you will be required to complete a 12-page Property Disclosure form. On that Property Disclosure form Page 3, Line 104 appears the following:
The Property Disclosure specifically asks if you did any additions, remodeling, etc. and if you obtained permits. When selling your house, a buyer can and should ask to see those permits.
Here are the websites for the 3 areas I write about in this blog for building codes and permit information:
- City of Portland
- City of Tigard
- City of Lake Oswego
- City of West Linn
- Clackamas County
- Washington County
- Multnomah County
- State of Oregon

Music & Summer Concerts In & Around Portland, Oregon
One of the many things I love about summer and living in Oregon is there are numerous musical events plus concerts in the parks. Inasmuch as I live only two blocks from one of those parks, I try to go to as many musical events I can. That means just grabbing my chair or blanket, some food or drinks and I’m “good to go”.
There are many locations throughout our area that have concerts or music to enjoy and here are some of them. I’m sure there are plenty more and this could just be a “short list” (I keep adding to this list so check back!). If you just did some of these, you’d be busy all summer long.

It’s that time of year when most Farmers Markets have opened or are opening soon. There’s a great website to check out for all the Farmers Markets in Oregon at ww.oregonfarmersmarkets.org for specific times and locations. With the high price of gas and food, it might be a good idea to visit one of these markets near you. Also, the food and flowers are locally home-grown and most are organic, if not all. The music, laughter, fun and people plus; hopefully, the sunshine will want to get you outdoors.
