Garrett for the organization, and thanks to Jbase for the hospitality.

I'm bummed. I had hoped to meet some of you guys in the flesh, but I'm stuck in what passes for spring in Minnesota...

Aaaahhhhh  Another martyr.......

Sounds like the Portland Brewery, which was about 14th and E -- 5 blocks
northeast of Powells.  But I think you want Jakes -- at 13th and
Burnside, three blocks up from Powells.

All locations in Portland are measured from Powells.

Regards, hve.

Hmm, not so sure. Mentioning tracks makes me think of the Bridgeport Brewery,
which indeed has tracks running along at least one side. It is still there, of
course, making tasty pizza (with the spent grains, I think) as well as my
favorite brews in town.

The Portland Brewery raised a bunch of cash through a stock offering and moved
into new digs in NW Portland. On Industrial, if memory serves right. I was
there about a month ago and the building was still being built out (or
remodeling still underway). Unfortunately, the kitchen was among the victims
so the food was quite limited. The new place is very upscale looking. New,
uncomfortable chairs with a nice view of the big copper vessels they bought in
Germany.

And as long as we're playing memory games, isn't Powell's AT Burnside and
13th, not three blocks away from it?  The only clue I've been able to find
around the place here in MN is a receipt which has phone number but no
address. I'd call, but I only have the one phone line.
