Welcome to Our Town online!

We hope this will complement the work we already do in print and provide a forum for feedback and interaction.

All of the stories that are delivered to your mailbox in the print edition were posted online at noon today. Some are missing photos, others have some glitches here and there. We hope to have that worked out soon. Features like Datebook and Marketplace are also empty right now. Forgive the delay, we’ll get those up and running as soon as possible.

In the meantime, take a look around the site. Let us know what works and what doesn’t, and what you’d like to see in Our Town online.

Jennifer White designed the site’s framework. I’m uploading and refining our content.

Any and all input welcome. Feel free to comment below or drop me an email at [email protected]

Fitting for a “foodie”: Event benefits Frank Lloyd Wright’s Gordon House

Architect Frank Lloyd Wright was a “foodie” say organizers of a fundraiser benefiting the Gordon House – the only Wright-designed building open to the public in the Pacific Northwest. The event’s planners point to Wright’s innovations for a small but functional kitchen he designed to be efficient, convenient and inspirational for food preparation.

Wright designed the home for Conrad and Evelyn Gordon, who built the house on their Clackamas County farm in 1964. To raise funds to maintain the Gordon House, now located next to The Oregon Garden in Silverton, there will be an evening of food and wine, a silent auction and a drawing with a “wine wall.”
