Eastmoreland Golf Course Grill: You Don't Need to Golf to Enjoy
glabah Says: While it is part of the Eastmoreland Golf Course, the restaurant is open to the public, and they offer an extremely good value for the money. It is a quiet yet very decorative atmosphere.There isn't much to look at out the windows, but I suppose that it is better than being...
Beez Holgate Station: Industrial Cafe with Betty Boop Theme
glabah Says: Currently the Beez Holgate Station serves as a lunch counter / diner and coffee house for the local industrial neighborhood of northwestern Eastmoreland and eastern Brooklyn neighborhoods. However, in an interesting twist, the restaurant has no actual lunch counter. Phone in...
Helpfulness
This little store is located on the border between a heavy industrial area and a residential area. It is now a colorful member of the Brooklyn industrial neighborhood just south of the Brooklyn Station restaurant.
Look for the Sidewalk Signs (which may be hidden by parked cars) to help guide you here.
They advertise themselves as selling "All the world's cool stuff".
Very few of the items here are local crafts though: while unusual, things here are from all over the world, including Brazilian stone coasters and various mass produced items.
What to buy: The store sells a number of odd artifacts with an emphasis on items of interest to those who follow "New Age" religions, or who are just interested in unusual gifts and decorations. (Witness, for example, their "Dead Stuff Christmas Display" as seen when I visited their store on December 21st 2007). Everything from unusual magnets, petrified wood, odds and ends of jewelry, and a few dry bones just to make things interesting.
Take a look at their web site (below) to see a whole lot more and better descriptions of what they have available.
What to pay: You will find things in this store from $1.50 to $900 or more - it depends entirely on what it is.

Feed the Ducks beside 100 Year Old Rhododendrons
glabah Says: Crystal Springs Rhododendron GardenSE SE 28th Avenue(one block north of Woodstock)is a great place to take kids if they like to feed ducks and geese. You will need a certain food though, available at the garden or at a nearby fruit stand just north of the gardens.Caution:...
glabah Says: Created when the Bybee Bridge was replaced in 2004, this little garden is a memorial of sorts for a few leftover pieces from this bridge. It is also a small community space and park, with a few benches and a drinking fountain.The large pillars are the old light poles that...
glabah Says: While this fairly small park is located just north of the rather busy SE Holgate Blvd, it doesn't suffer from a huge amount of traffic noise. There is noise, but the noise level isn't quite what it is in other parks that are close to such busy streets.As best as I can tell,...
glabah Says: Located at SE 39th Avenue and Evergreen Street, this park is a typical southeast Portland neighborhood park. While the traffic on SE 39th Avenue is somewhat heavy at this location, it is nowhere near as heavy as it is north of Woodstock.A small playground, tennis courts, a...

Reed College and a Few Small Attractions
