The Lents Neighborhood Association‘s June general meeting will focus on immigrant support. State representatives and immigration law experts will be presents to discuss their efforts and how neighbors can help.
One of the main goals of Village Portland is to share efforts across neighborhood boundaries, so I figured people would want to know.
For more information on the meeting, go here. There’s also a community appreciation dinner before the meeting.
Lents Community Center, SE Woodstock Street * 7 pm meeting, dinner 6:30 pm

Last Friday, Flipside Bar and Carts (9320 SE Woodstock ) had their soft opening.
When we visited on Wednesday, the word was out and the place was nearly full. Three food carts were open (a burger cart, E-San Thai, and a Mediterranean cart).
We went with the Mediterranean cart, and though it wasn’t on the menu, they made me a vegi wrap. Their banana-strawberry crepe with chocolate sauce was great too!
FRIDAY
