(9:00 PM) | John Emerson:
Funky Neighborhood-Oriented Coffee Shop (with Good Coffee) to Open in Portland
Saturday, September 10th will see the grand opening of my brother’s coffeeshop, the Bipartisan Café, at 7901 S.E. Stark Street, Portland, Oregon (503.253.1051). It’s located in a not-yet-yuppified working-class neighborhood (Montavilla) which is more or less adjacent to two of the hippest places in the universe (NE Mississippi Avenue and SE Division Street).
Laura Gibson plays at 6 pm, my son’s band Amelia plays at 7 pm.
The Bipartisan Café is child-friendly and is open seven days a week, featuring Stumptown coffee, soup, sandwiches, and homemade pie. Peter hopes that it will become a neighborhood gathering place with a non-Republican slant. (Peter and I mostly agree politically, but he does not have my harsh nature).
If you’re in Portland, stop on by.
