I found this blog with photos and stories of old Portland. There's a postcard from the Kona Kai and the Aloha Room at the Heathman hotel in the February archives.

I can't wait for the NW Tiki Crawl. It's less than 2 weeks away!

Portland is a really neat city-which I have to admit was a bit of a surprise for me. It was always one of those places I drove by from here to there. But I just started with a new company that is based out of Portland, so I've traveled quite a bit there recently. Gruvy lil music scene...friendly people (even the homeless are friendly @:-) I stay at the Mallory Hotel in the Biz District, which I'm told is where "all the old people stay", but it is stunning. In the summer, they show old movies from the rooftop. Neat-O! I'm going to miss the crawl, but I'll be back for Xmas and tax free shopping...gotta love that!
