Please someone in the Portland music scene steal this idea, but I’ve always thought that a great way to bring some life back to Old Town is to host a music festival similar to the way that Capitol Hill Block Party in Seattle is set up. There’s space to make it an even bigger festival than Seattle!

I find much of the @nytimes.com opinion stuff on #Germany misses the mark, but this video by Jan #Böhmermann is a great way to explain the rise of the #AfD to an American audience. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/o...
Opinion | Germany’s Far-Right Comeback
Germany’s attempts to “remember away” its Nazi past has instead paved the way for an extremist resurgence.
