South Waterfront is Portland, Oregon’s newest great neighborhood. It provides residents and visitors with sophisticated urban living in a relaxing and inspiring natural setting along the Willamette River. South Waterfront represents Portland’s evolution as one of the most livable cities in the nation.
Inspired by the best practices of the point towers in Vancouver B.C., this emerging neighborhood integrates alternative transportation, parks and trails, green building practices, mixed-use retail, and healthy living with art and design. Higher quality of life means more people, more stories, and a happier you.
Join the South Waterfront, and the rest of the world, on Saturday March 26th for Earth Hour. At 8:30 pm (PST) turn off all the lights in your home to help raise awarness about global warming. For more information about Earth Hour visit the following resources:

I want to thank all who attended my presentation Wednesday evening. I had a great time and hope to see you in the future. My open studio hours are Thursdays from 4 to 6, but feel free to email me at chickman@uoregon.edu if that time doesn’t work for you.
Also, remember my print give away. I am putting three of my pictures in the windows of the AiR studio each week and the first three people who contact me, either by email or in person, can have a picture. You will need to come by the studio to see the pictures. That way you can identify which one you want. The first person gets their first choice, the second person their choice from the remaining two, etc. If you get one of the pictures, you will need to pick it up from me in person when the next set of pictures goes up the following week. Normally new pictures go up Monday evening or Tuesday morning.
