The North Portland peninsula, which includes the St. Johns and Cathedral Park neighborhoods, could become isolated from the rest of the city after a major earthquake. If the St. Johns Bridge and the railroad bridges on the peninsula’s eastern border fail, emergency responders could have no way into the area — and residents will have no way out. A bill in the Oregon Legislature would partially address the issue by designating funding for the city to design a seismically-safe bridge over the railroad tracks at Columbia Boulevard.     Sameer Kanal is a Portland City Councilor representing District 2, which includes North Portland. Jeff Bissonnette is the co-chair of the St. Johns-Cathedral Park Neighborhood Emergency Team. They join us to talk about how residents and the city are preparing for this potential disaster.

Portland artist Arvie Smith is known for colorful, larger-than-life oil paintings that explore oppression and injustice against Black Americans through symbolism and visual tropes. He’s also a professor emeritus at Pacific Northwest College of Art after a 35-year tenure. His murals can be seen on buildings in North Portland and at the Donald E. Long Juvenile Center, where he spent time teaching art to incarcerated youth. Despite being in his mid-80s, Smith is far from retired — just last year, he received a prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship. The work he created during that fellowship is currently on display in Chicago. Titled “Crossing Clear Creek,” the exhibit explores Smith’s childhood memories and experience of race in rural Texas and Los Angeles. Smith joins us to talk about his life and work.

A long-vacant block on North Russell Street and North Williams Avenue, which was once part of a thriving African American community in Portland, will finally house people once again. The site was razed in the 1970s as part of an urban renewal project to expand the hospital there. Tomorrow, construction will begin on an 85-unit apartment building, 20 single-family homes and office and retail space for Black-owned businesses. Bryson Davis, chair of the board of the nonprofit behind the project, Williams & Russell CDC, joins us, along with developer Anyeley Hallova, to talk about the project.

Well it's trivia night at the local Double Mountain pub in North Portland, and that means fun, food and great beer. Bronwyn goes down the taplist, Damian notices a barleywine at an upcoming event, John talks about Evolve Brewing. Plenty of prep for the cold snap on this episode of Brew Happy!

The I-5 Corridor Traffic Report went for a field trip this week. With the Super Bowl coming up on Sunday, I spent a couple of hours earlier in the week over at Lombard House, home of the North Portland Bird Watchers Society, where I sat down with owner Brian Koch and regular Nick Calcaterra — the older brother of Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra — to talk about the big game, the Eagles, what it's like to go to the Super Bowl as a sibling, Gardner Minshew's bathrobe, that one time DJ Khaled opened up the Eagles' post-Super Bowl loss party with an interesting choice of song and how this video of Nick celebrating Grant's first career touchdown ended up on Jason and Travis Kelce's podcast: We also take a moment to remember Lynn Kindrachuk, an important figure of the Philadelphia and Lombard House community, who passed away earlier this week. For more, listen to this podcast in the player above or find us over on Apple or Spotify.Editor's note: The Traffic Report's next episode of The Replayables will be released on Friday. Also, a note about this podcast: We recorded at the bar over a couple of drinks. There might be a swear word or three.

Last week, I told the stories of eight, young Black women trafficked into sex work. All had been murdered in and around North Portland. These cases were presented to the Green River Task Force when no suspects emerged during initial investigations. It was found that none of the murders were connected to Gary Ridgway. Years later, the state would claim five of the women were connected to the same culprit. Today, I'll detail how police eventually tracked down and arrested a man for four of the murders, employed flimsy-at-best DNA evidence, and how the law presented a generous and underhanded plea deal, which left some wondering if the closure of 4 unsolved cold cases was motivated by a district attorney's election rather than justice.Episode Host: Alisha HollandFor photos and sources for today's episode, check out the Murder in the Rain Episode Blog. If you'd like more episodes of Murder in the Rain, Patreon members at the $5/mo+ level, gain access to exclusive episodes, ad-free episodes, bonus content, and more.Join us this year at the True Crime and Paranormal Podcast Festival July 12th-14th in Denver, Colorado!

Starting in March 1983 and through June 1993, someone was killing young, black women and girls in North Portland. The victims weren't acknowledged with much more than a blip in the paper. The killer wasn't making the headlines as bombastic Ted Bundy was. He wasn't prolific enough to warrant a task force like Gary Ridgway. He was a mentally ill man with an extensive criminal history, unmanageable addictions, and no memory of what he may have done. Today's story isn't about that man. It's about his four confirmed victims, and his possible other victims. Next week, I'll be sharing the story of the subsequent arrest, charges and jail time given to the man police felt could have been responsible for up to 25 murders and how once he was found guilty, his sentence left the family members of victims appalled. Episode Host: Alisha HollandFor photos and sources for today's episode, check out the Murder in the Rain Episode Blog. If you'd like more episodes of Murder in the Rain, Patreon members at the $5/mo+ level, gain access to exclusive episodes, ad-free episodes, bonus content, and more.Join us this year at the True Crime and Paranormal Podcast Festival July 12th-14th in Denver, Colorado!

Nearly 30 years ago, Metro purchased a 27-acre property located on the east side of the Willamette River near the St. John’s neighborhood in North Portland. Before it can become a nature park with trails and beach access, Willamette Cove first needs to be cleaned up to remove toxic metals, dioxins and other pollutants lingering in the soil and water after decades of  heavy industrial activity at the site. As planning for the cleanup gets underway, Metro recently asked residents for their opinions on what features and amenities they want included in the nature park. Joining us to talk about the outreach efforts ramping up and the vision for Willamette Cove is Cory Eldridge, a communications specialist at Metro and the community engagement lead on the project.

When one of the city’s vehicles are in need of repair, they may find themselves at Kerby Garage, a two-story city-owned facility in North Portland. But while the facility is responsible for servicing more than 2,000 city vehicles such as snowplows, dump trucks and excavators, the building has been labeled in city reports as in “very poor condition.” Some of the many problems with the building include no automated smoke detectors, frequent garage door issues and no air conditioning. Willamette Week reporter Sophie Peel has been covering this issue. She joins us to share more on what workers are facing and potential plans to address conditions at the facility in the future.

North Portland's Albina neighborhood used to be home to a thriving music scene, where Black musicians would perform nightly in nightclubs and community spaces. Urban renewal bulldozed many of those neighborhoods in the '60s and '70s, but thanks to the Albina Music Trust, we're now all able to dig into the past through a new digital community archive. Today we're talking with the project's lead archivist Bobby Smith and Norman Sylvester, a longtime musician who grew up playing in the Albina music scene.  Links From Today's Show: Rated X performing “Rated X” from the Albina Community Archive Events:  Norman Sylvester at iliani Casino, March 21 Norman Sylvester at Waterfront Blues Festival, July 4 - 7 Albina Music Trust at Summer Free For All Save the Date: Albina Music Trust and the Interstate Firehouse Cultural Center present: “Time Sound,” August 24 Become a member of City Cast Portland today!

Last week, the Portland school board unanimously passed a resolution allowing for the sale of its North Portland district headquarters to the Albina Vision Trust. The local nonprofit has been working to restore the historically Black Albina neighborhood through redevelopment efforts such as the construction of 94 affordable housing units it recently broke ground on. The idea for AVT’s acquisition of the PPS property goes back several years, and gained momentum last month when AVT presented its proposal to the PPS board, including a commitment to help the district find a new headquarters location that matches or exceeds the value of its current site. The resolution establishes a timeline of up to one year for a new location to be identified, along with various milestones that must be met. Michelle DePass, a Portland Public Schools Board member who grew up in the Albina neighborhood, and Winta Yohannes, executive director of Albina Vision Trust, join us to discuss the details.

On this episode of the Early Link Podcast, host Rafel Otto speaks with Imani Muhammad, a longtime youth advocate and community organizer in Portland, Oregon.

The Portland Police recently announced it had made 13 arrests and recovered two stolen vehicles during a mission targeting thefts of large amounts of retail goods in the Hollywood and LLoyd districts. About two dozen retail theft missions have taken place since last March, mainly at locations in North Portland like the Cascade Station shopping mall, according to North Precinct Portland Police Commander Rob Simon. He said the missions can involve up to 15 officers and require the participation of retail staff to inform the police of thefts of large amounts of merchandise such as Nike sneakers, North Face jackets and crates of wine. The crackdowns come amid a new Oregon law which took effect in January that toughens the penalties for organized retail crime, such as allowing a judge to impose a two-year prison sentence for a person with prior convictions for retail theft. Portland Police Sergeant and public information officer Kevin Allen joins us to talk about the police’s response to these crimes. 

As many of you know, we are dedicated to helping people detox from as many hormone-disrupting chemicals as possible. Good oral hygiene is essential for a healthy body. However, the conventional oral care industry is very plastic-heavy. There's polyurethane in toothbrushes, flavored floss can contain phthalates, and there's even BPA in dental sealants. Transitioning to a greener oral care routine can seem impossible, but thanks to biodentistry, it's not. That's why we are so excited to be joined today by Dr. Staci Whitman. Dr. Staci is a Board-Certified Functional Pediatric Dentist. She is the founder of NoPo Kids Dentistry in North Portland, OR where she takes a whole-body, holistic, and functional approach to her patients. We are so excited to ask about her approach to dentistry.

 Much of the land along the Columbia Slough in North Portland is known for its long history of industrial use, and its resulting high likelihood of contamination.“I've started calling this area a 'brownfield sandwich,'” said Dale Svart, who lives near the plot of land in North Portland that the city soon expects to house nearly 200 homeless people. It's across the street from a wastewater treatment plant and borders the Columbia Slough.Back in October, Mayor Ted Wheeler announced plans to use that land for the city's second mass sanctioned homeless camp, also known as a Temporary Alternative Shelter Site (TASS).  “We can't place the most vulnerable people in our community on an already toxic site; it's just adding to their burden … This site is not a safe site,” said Charlotte MacDonald, another neighbor.The site was once used for boat manufacturing. About 10 years ago, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality found toxins in the site's soil.Support the show

Portland's beer scene frequently gets credit for being one of the biggest and best in the country: Oregon breweries won 23 medals at this year's Great American Beer Festival.

Five murders, five miles and an unexpected arrest. From 1983 to 1993 five young, black, women from North Portland were murdered. At one point police in Seattle believed the killings could have been the work of The Green River Killer. But police in Portland denied that the murders were connected. And a killer remained on the streets for over three decades.

With fewer sweeps during the pandemic, encampments have become a seemingly permanent fixture in many parts of Portland. And in response, city officials have started taking a more hardline approach. In February, Mayor Ted Wheeler issued an emergency order to ban camping near busy roadways. He has also said he plans to create large outdoor sites for sanctioned camping. On “Think Out Loud” we’ve heard from service providers, policy makers, and elected officials, including the mayor. We also wanted to hear from people who are living on the streets.  So, on a chilly and rainy March day, host Dave Miller, producer Julie Sabatier and OPB’s emerging journalism fellow, Chris Gonzalez, went to Old Town and an area near Delta Park in North Portland to interview folks living in tents or shelters or cars. This wasn’t comprehensive, or scientific. It’s a snapshot of homelessness on one Spring day in Portland.

Portland's Central library in the heart of the city's downtown is by far its biggest branch. It also provides internet and other services to those who may be experiencing homelessness or just want to duck in to get out of the elements. Some bond funded renovations started last year, but now the building will close while various updates get completed. The Albina branch will be closing temporarily for construction later this week, followed by the North Portland branch in early April. The Holgate and Midland branches are currently closed for renovations. Taxpayer backed bonds are also funding a huge brand new library in Gresham. Katie O'Dell has worked at the Multnomah County Library for much of her career and she's currently the capital bond deputy director there. She joins us to tell us about what's happening system-wide and the plans the library has made to backfill services while some of these critical facilities are getting remade.
