This place is special to me. If you know me at all, you know I’m a passionate person who wears her heart on her sleeve. This year has been incredibly taxing for many reasons. But this place always reminds me of the joy of the holiday season and the cozy ways in which we can gift presence to each other as we unravel the threads of life.

I’ve been a regular here since 2010. It’s one of my favorite places near PDX. It was built during the 1930’s via the Works Progress Administration (WPA) as a project for Oregonians to enjoy for decades to come. FDR visited and made a little speech. It’s so damn cozy in the winter and such a marvel anytime of year.
