It may be a while longer before we see the replacement of the 99-year-old Burnside Bridge. The county delayed the project indefinitely due to uncertainty of fund availability — construction was recently estimated to cost as much as $1.8 billion. (DJC Oregon)
Coming Soon
Portland restaurant Canard recently opened its third location in Beaverton. The concept from James Beard Award-winning chef Gabriel Rucker is in the former location of the historic Beaverton Bakery — see the menu. (FOX 12)
Real Estate
One of the only brick rowhouses in Oregon sits in Nob Hill — and it’s for sale. The 132-year-old home is an end-unit and features 3,137 sqft with large windows, hand-carved millwork, stained glass, and floors made from Douglas fir culled from Forest Park.
