Last Clippings

These are likely the last of my Mercury articles, so I’m glad I got several into this issue. Read, and enjoy!

First off, the feature: reporter Sarah Mirk and I rode the wheels on the bus round-and-round the Portland area, taking in all the sites.

Next up, Hip Hop High! Efforts are underway in Portland to bring a recording arts charter school to the area.

And finally, someone set fire to a local union’s office building. There aren’t any leads on the arsonist yet, but the union isn’t shying away from the possibility that the fire was ideologically motivated.

Thanks for reading. Again, check back periodically for updates, and get ready for a December to remember (lamest rhyme ever).
