Sat down with Elsie McFarland, the 91-year-old owner of Oregon's oldest surviving Italian restaurant (and the first to feature pizza prominently on the menu). You can still find her checking in on tables most weekends oregonlive.com/dining/2024/1…

At Oregon’s oldest pizzeria, 91-year-old owner Elsie McFarland still works weekends

75 years ago, Portland was late to the pizza game. No single family changed that more than Elsie McFarland’s.

So sad to tell you that my uncle, Mark Shields, died this morning. He was a special guy: full of heart and wisdom and love. Love of politics, sports, and so many people.❤️

AP article 2004: "Portland ranks among Hurt’s favorite cities. It’s a place where he can soak up art, culture & the great outdoors while maintaining a low profile." “I don’t mind rain,” Hurt said at the time. “70% percent of our bodies are made of it.” oregonlive.com/entertainment…

Actor William Hurt, who died in Portland, had longtime Oregon connections

The Oscar winner, who died Sunday at age 71, acted onstage at Portland's Artists Repertory Theater and, in his early career, performed at Ashland's Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

As a Floridian, I am so blown away by these kids. This bill is discrimination at its most base. There isn't a political issue... this is about humanity and decency. There are nuanced issues in this intense political climate. This is not one of them. #LetFreeFloridaSayGay
