Portland Surveys

I am still conducting a survey of what restaurants, shopping Portland residents would like to see and the overall quality of life perspective. I really have not gotten enough survey participants for the survey to be taken seriously by city government (a nice bunch of folks by any account). I also have the results of the surveys so far (see below the survey URLs)

Portland Restaurant Survey

Hi sports fans i.e. the 5 people who read my blog . (I can't even get my son to read it!). Here's a bit of fun. Please fill out this survey.

I'll post the result in a couple months. I'll have another survey ready soon to see what chain retailers we find attractive.


Note:
Who knows maybe someone in the city council might be interested in seeing this survey. Of course before any restaurant chain would consider building here the owners want to make sure it's profitable (business case). So we can ask for whatever we want but ultimately it's really not up to the citizens unless we really don't want a particular business to be here and even then we may not have a voice.

Radiology Associates

We are truly lucky to have not just one but two medical imaging providers.

Yummies Ice Cream Parlor was FANTASTIC!

[from anonymous post]
My wife and I tried out the newly remodeled "Yummies" Ice Cream Parlor last Friday in the old shopping center next to Lone Star Hardware. The food was FANTASTIC and the prices were great. All the burgers were made with black angus beef and the buns were sourdough style that you don't get anywhere else. It was so good, we took the kids back at night for an ice cream cone! The word needs to get out about this place...they can give DQ and Marble Slab a run for their money...not to mention the atmosphere is much better with the old 50's style diner motif. It was great!!!!

Keep those cards and letters coming! In other words I appreciate the post and welcome others in the community to do so!

Congratulations Portland! It appears the new city hall is open. I should be posting some new pics by the end of the weekend. If I find any article links to Caller Times about the new city hall I will post them as well. This should make headlines of the Portland paper.
Here's the announcement from the Portland website.

CIty Hall has moved
