Portland Gets a New Bridge!

Courtesy OregonLive.com

Many years ago, we presented our readers reader with a post about bridges in Portland. Great times, I know. Well, get ready to add one more bridge to the mix. The City of Portland and Trimet recently broke ground on a new bridge over the Willamette. This bridge, completion date of many years from now, will carry light rail, people, and bikes. No cars allowed! That's Portland for you.

For now they are calling the bridge the Portland-Milwaukie light-rail bridge. I have a feeling they will come up with a cooler name once it gets dedicated. I'm thinking something to do with beer, books, or hipsters. Read more about the bridge and see a nice graphic here. To watch the building, live, click here.

Happy Caturday!

Happy 2011 y'all (sorry for the belated new year's wishes)! We've been working on some new post ideas and planning some upcoming adventures. I don't want to spill too much information, but this year you can look forward to more blog posts about Portland area restaurants and attractions. Plus we have more adventures in store for OKCtoPDX (some of which involve taking our whit and charm overseas). We can't be 100% sure what this year will hold for us but we hope you are as excited about 2011 as we are.
