Rappers have been rhyming about hustling, living in
the ghetto and the perils of street life since the dawn of
Hip Hop, but what distinguishes Freeway is his unique
approach to tackling these subjects.
Freeway neither boastfully brags about his days
hustling on the crime-ridden street comers of North
Philly, nor does he dogmatically preach at his listeners
while lecturing them to live righteously. Instead, his
lyrics are laced with ghetto-weary "been there, done
that" sentiment that implies there is life beyond the
block.
The hip hop star will perform Saturday, April 14 at
9:30 p.m. at the Crown Room, 205 N.W. Fourth Ave.

Celebrating
Urban Trees
April showers couldn’t put a
dam per on P o rtlan d Parks &
Recreation’s showcase Arbor Day
celebration.
On Thursday, the parks bureau
teamed with its partners to host
informational booths in the South
Parks Block, downtown, on the ben
efits of trees, what’s happening to
help manage and maintain the urban
forest, and ways for citizens to be
come involved.
The PP&R urban forestry crew
took people high in the sky in a
bucket truck to get a squirrel’s-eye-
view of the urban forest.
Children of all ages learned about
the life cycle of a tree from exploring
the germination of a seed and dis
covering the structure of a mature
tree, to dissecting a rotten log.
The Portland Urban Forestry
Commission presented Bill Naito
Community Tree Awards to three
winners. Bob Naito, son of noted
community leader Bill Naito, pre
sented the awards.
Bill Naito rarely missed an Urban
Forestry C om m ission m eeting,
which he founded in 1974 and
chaired until his death. Through his
humor, persistence, and imagina
tive approach to projects, he in
spired many individuals to recog
nize the beauty trees bring to our
city.
and So Much More
