Reception tomorrow for Milwaukie Pastry Kitchen, a bakery opened in 1977 by our neighbors Dorothy and Hurtis Hadley.

The reception is tomorrow, Saturday, April 11 from 12 to 4 at the Toolbox Gallery, and there will be a conversation with the Hadleys on Saturday, April 25 from 4 to 6.

The exhibit runs through the end of April at the Toolbox Gallery, 2028 SE Jefferson St., Milwaukie - open Tuesday-Saturday 10-5. #PDX #PortlandOR #Portland #BlackBusiness #Milwaukie #bakery

This morning we spent a couple hours introducing ourselves to other businesses in beautiful downtown #Milwaukie. They're a really welcoming bunch!

While doing that, we learned that the Made In Milwaukie store has the BEST free schwag in the whole #Portland area. 😍

#PDX

there are peaches

and there are Oregon peaches

and it's important to establish that difference.

incidentally the peach pie at gramma's corner in #milwaukie will knock your socks off. not just the best trad breakfast in north clackamas but with legendary pie to back it up.

looks a little scuzzy outside. note the inside is clean as a whistle and smells like a working kitchen should.

everyone there is nice. the rainbow flags don't lie, they're not there for show, all the queers and all the straights of all the shades there be are welcome there.

this is milwaukie. not as famous as Portland, but a town with a hell of a good streak, one of the finest children's libraries in the West, honor box bagel stands and fruit for sale along a Frequent Service bus route, calm, good milwaukie.

people don't blow crosswalks there. people respect parking rules because tickets are nasty. bike racks are EVERYWHERE.

trimet needs to clean up the sellwood-ardenwald-north milwaukie mess with their buses (that corridor needs to be Frequent Service yesterday) and it'll really help with what's an actual "reactivation": milwaukie north of new city hall, the old Electra Central FCU headquarters.

so yeah, gramma's corner, oh you can get peach pancakes right now too. why oregon peaches so big, juicy, coherent, and delicious? oh, volcanic soil and intense sunlight. mmmmmm. tastes so good.

Saturday at 10 Bike Milwaukie October ride is focused on #bikeParking. The ride will explore various areas in #Milwaukie... to answer the following questions and more: Is there adequate bicycle parking? When there is bike parking available is it accessible for all bicycle types (cargo, E-bikes, etc)? Does my u-lock fit all bike racks? Where do we need bike corrals? #pdxBikes

Sharing from a mutual on private

"This event is sold out, but support is wanted outside the event.

I will attach a highly suspect message from Milwaukie cops which makes it sounds like they want the event canceled without saying they want the event canceled."

This event is hosted by Poison Waters who was doing the Drag Story Time in Tigard. There is a link to a Facebook post that goes into details about what is happening, I'll post that, too. I'll work on getting the screenshots for those who don't want to open an FB link.
