As requested I'm starting this thread to get some feedback from our bloggers on this matter.

I am not sure if this is where I need to ask a question of Portland but it seems a good enough place to start. I have a deep concern for the hungry in Portland and my question would be "Would a kitchen that served a free meal to those of need be welcome here in Portland?" Would local churches and businesses be of help?

thank you - D.

This blogger cared enough to ask and obviously cares about our community and individuals in Portland that may be experiencing difficult times. Although many of us are blessed with hot meals every day, I'm sure there are some that aren't as fortunate. What are your thoughts?

Whether it's in Portland or elsewhere, where do you do business? What attracts you? Price? Convenience? Selection? Service? Atmosphere? Liquor By The Drink? Smoking Sections? Other . . .?

On the flip side, why do you NOT do business somewhere? Give us the low-down on your experiences.

If you prefer, you can rate businesses 1-5
1=poor 2=fair 3=neutral 4=good 5=excellent
