NOTE: This is the first installment of a series I hope to create that will showcase the nine bridges of Portland that cross the Willamette River.
The spectacular collection of Portland bridges starts in the far northwest area of Portland. It is located approximately five miles out Highway 30 heading towards the towns of Scappoose and St. Helens. Crossing the large green bridge will take you to the west edge of North Portland known as St. Johns. While you’re there, don’t be afraid of checking out the downtown area and the Taqueria that is next to Proper Eats. Try the carne asada tacos that go for a buck apiece. Then head down to the park that sits right under the north end of the bridge. That’s where these photos were taken (still trying to figure out how to show them scaled down).

PORTLAND—In a recent and ficticious web poll, 99.9997% of attractive, intellectual and desireable women admitted that they don’t care what blog host men use.
Still, that didn’t stop one man from making the switch from Blogger to WordPress, coincidentally around the same time as the MLB trade deadline.
Belmont-area resident Steve Miller was inspired to change his blog host by his friend and colleague Mike V. Miller, 22, is expecting hits to go up dramatically with the updated blog, and he will be able to track them with tools provided by WordPress.
“Originally, I thought Mike said the new blog would make more girls want to hit on me,” the 22-year-old explains. “I’m not so sure that’s going to be the case.”
If anything, the Short Form Media Coordinator’s coolness factor is going to reach a new low, since he is technically the owner of two blogs, but he’s not going to let that fact get to him.
“Ain’t nothing gonna break my stride, nobody’s gonna slow me down, oh no,” Miller said. “Hey, isn’t that a Puff Daddy song?!?!”
Actually, that was a top-5 hit recorded by Matthew Wilder. The chorus was later altered and used in Mr. Diddy’s cut “Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down.”
“Oh, I didn’t know that,” Miller admitted. “See, that’s the kind of information I hope to present the cyber world with: absurd and random, yet useful McNuggets of knowledge.”
