Downtown Walking Tour, Tuesday, June 17
Gather a little before noon on Tuesday, June 17, 2008, at the Multnomah County Courthouse for a walking tour of gay historic spots in downtown Portland led by GLAPN's Rob Douglass and Dave Kohl.
These are Rob's words: "We will start the walk at City Hall and then commence the bulk of our tour starting at the old Hamburger Mary's spot (where Fox Tower is now) at 9th and Taylor and then focus our attention along that area between Broadway and 10th, and as far north as Washington Street."
More information will be posted here as it becomes available.
Recent news: The "Our Stories" Series
Portlanders reflected on 35 years of gay activism on January 11-12, 2008, with back-to-back evenings jointly hosted by Q Center and the Gay & Lesbian Archives of the Pacific Northwest.
Q Center (69 S.E. Taylor) was packed for the Jan. 11 screening of Ballot Measure 9, and again for the Jan. 12 roundtable discussion with more than 20 leaders and activists from Oregon's sexual minorities community.
Just Out previewed the events in their Jan. 4, 2008 issue on page 12, and covered them in the Jan. 18, 2008 issue on pages 10 and 55. Those issues may be viewed on Just Out's website, www.justout.com.
GLAPN and the Q Center are planning a similar event for Spring/Summer of 2008 in conjunction with Pride celebrations, at a time to be announced.
