Drivers wanted.
Glen Dugger wins the prize for most persistent
and creative bar owner in Portland.
With the opening of his new Scandals next to
The Roxy on Southwest Stark Street, he has com­
pleted the fourth incarnation of the Somebody’s/
Scandals tradition. Originally buying the Focal
Point on Ninth Avenue from Steve Suss in 1979,
he renamed it Somebody’s Place. When that lease
expired, he moved Somebody’s to 11th Avenue,
from 1981 until 1985. Losing that lease, he took
over what had been the Rainbow Art Gallery at
11th Avenue and Stark Street, utilizing the large
windows to create a most welcoming atmosphere,
complete with palms and ferns, for 20 years.
When Dugger learned he was to lose his lease,
he made the decision to relocate rather than do the
logical thing and retire at age 71. “I didn’t want to
go out that way!” he insisted.
So he launched a search for another location in
the Bumside Triangle and eventually settled on the
site known for almost 40 years as Three Sisters.
Since September, the space under the Kent
Hotel has been abuzz with demolition crews, archi­
tects, interior designers, carpenters and heating
specialists, not to mention several city inspectors
and curious clients. Opening day was delayed from
Thanksgiving until early 2006. The new Scandals
opened like a phoenix on the first day of the
Chinese Lunar New Year, Jan. 27.
No one who ever ventured into “Six Tits” could
recognize a single wall, counter or artifact from the
dark tavern. Dugger and the designers have
brought out a well-lit, glass-fronted, feel-good
space, complete with quiet nooks, a front-and-
center pool table, a curved bar and canopy and
several levels of dance and sitting space. Wood­
framed glass doors are designed to open to the
sidewalk when the weather turns balmy, inspired by
several bars in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Behind the bar is the largest walk-in men’s rest­
room of any tavern in the Rose City, complete with
some unique Italian sinks.

In a masterpiece of understatement, the only
marking on the building is the old “Sisters” tavern
sign, with a cursive “Scandals” in neon now in
place. The old “Georgia’s Laundromat” sign will
continue hanging over the western door, a tribute
to the sainted mother of the three sisters, who still
own the building and operate the grocery on the
comer of 12th Avenue.
Dugger’s commitment to his clients and to the
neighborhood have resulted in a welcoming space
in the emerging cultural district, gathering clients
from downtown, the triangle and the Pearl.

Our House Dinner and Auction

ment period beginning at 6:30. This year’s co-
chairs are Celia Lyon and Paul Cofer.

orated by 20 of the Northwest’s finest artists,

and expand on the old building and develop
new programs to serve those living with
HIV/A1DS in Oregon and southwest
Washington.
“For Love and Money” will feature world­
class entertainment with surprise guests visits
from several of Portland’s finest entertainers.
The MC this year is Judith Rizzio, a longtime
Our House employee and one of Portland’s
best-known performers, formerly with the
Fallen Angel Choir. The auctioneer is Steve
Talbot.
