Kenton
Kenton was recognized as the Neighborhood o f the Year by the
Mayor’s Office. They were the recipients of the “Spirit of Portland” award
given out last Fall. Residents o f Kenton were praised for their spirit of
cooperation. They’ve taken on many issues in the neighborhood, including
cleaning up intersections and illegal dump sites. The neighborhood also
welcomed the siting of a new Multnomah County jail.

Neighborhood is hosting this entertaining event, showing “Priscilla:
Queen o f the Desert” at dusk on the side of the Dehen Knitting Building.
This is a fund-raiser for the Pearl District and a chance for some family fun.
Other city neighborhoods in Seattle, Berkeley and Boulder have tried this
with much success.
Hollywood
The Green Neighborhood Network (GNN) is a partnership created to
enhance the communities environment. The Hollywood business district
and surrounding NE. Portland neighborhoods are GNN’s target area. It is
a two - year effort to build on environmental programs o f local govern
ments, Pacific Power, and non-profit groups in the areas of energy
efficiency, recycling, water efficiency, neighborhood tree planting, tran
sit, pedestrian and bicycle activities, and more, to create a resource
efficient community. GNN will be at the Hollywood Farmers market on
September 19th. Call 823-7725.
Cathedral Park
North Beach is the last underdeveloped corridor of land along the
Willamette River inside the City o f Portland. One hundred seventy-five
acres of land. North Beach stretches two miles from the University of
Portland to Cathedral Park under the St. Johns Bridge. Ripe for develop
ment, North Beach is an undiscovered river front asset for the entire
metropolitan area. The best view is from the Willamette Boulevard bridge
over the railroad cut. You can see the future Willamette Cove Park to the

Concordia University has a new 245-bed residence h a ll. The $4.9
million project has enabled Concordia to fulfill its long held
objective o f enriching the campus community by welcoming about
200 more students who wish to reside on campus. Neighbors
were invited to tour the dorms and celebrate this landmark
achievement. "In the past, we've had to find other housing for
students who would have preferred to stay on campus. The
addition o f the new residence hall will not only create the student
housing we sorely need, but also result in a more diverse student
mix that is certain to make campus life richer for all o f us, ’ says
Dr. Mark Wahlers, Vice President o f Enrollment and Student
Services.)
