What’s your favorite close-in (no more than about an hour drive from downtown) adventure / activity? I’ll start. I love snowboarding. Timberline. Meadows. Even ski bowl. Doesn’t matter where, I have a blast every time and come home feeling so recharged yet completely exhausted. What do you love to do most in this amazing place?

Skiing: Meadows. But I’m touring more these days (over the weekend Govy 500) and White River is the most scenic route to Hood 🌽. It’s special. My daughter is also in lessons now and afternoons at Cooper Spur with her make that place endearing. I usually work a Wednesday/Thursday from Meadows if anyone is down for turns between calls! :)

Cycling / Gravel: Council Crest or Larch climbs. Germantown on a hot day. Forest Park / Leif Erickson. Just ticking off OMTM and Rubber to the Road routes.

Wine: McMinville is exactly an hour away. We’re 5 minutes from Amaterra off Miller. Wife loves Dogwood.

Gorge: Just hiking with the fam to any dozen waterfalls. Then beers at Thunder Island in Cascade Locks or Sugarpine in Troutdale. You expand to 1.5 hours and Hood River / White Salmon becomes a play for all of the above and more.

Hi relative newb here - own a pre-owned Hamilton and Tag and looking for my first brand new luxury piece. Not willing to have a spend history to get on a Rolex list - this caught my eye today, any chance of getting a discount? Presuming going to a AD is a better chance than a boutique? Thanks for any and all comments, good and bad. I’m debating between this and a Tudor BB. Happy holidays and cheers!

Hi everyone…we currently hired a “marketing assistant” who has no degree or experience in marketing or design.

Is it wrong to be offended? 😂 I’ve being studying graphic design since HS, my degree is Visual communications/graphic design. Now I’m being asking to just “show them” how to use the creative suite for graphics!!
