The Rev. Dr. Chuck Currie of Northeast Portland is a minister in the United Church of Christ.
Portland has been home most of my life. Our family moved here when I was 10. At 18, I joined the Burnside Community Council board, kicking off a life in social services and ministry that has covered three decades and six Portland mayors.
All these years, I ve been in a lover s quarrel with Portland, demanding more housing and attention to civil rights to make Portland a better home for all.
At 52, like many Portlanders, I m dismayed where we are as a city and wondering if Portland, with all the Rose City has to offer, will become the new Eden, or are we on a path to becoming the new Gotham. You might be surprised to learn I m still hopeful about our future.
has been busy, and have been doing a great job keeping us entertained since the announcement of the team. And we got some huge news today:
Purina will be the official (and inaugural) jersey sponsor for the team! This has to be the best sponsor announcement ever, because it includes dogs!
With this news, STL CITY s Swag Squad (wag squad?) is hitting the streets in THE Shag Wagon! My dog Margo and I were able to catch them earlier today and got a CITY bag, Purina X City Scarf, bandana, and treats!
You still have a chance to catch the Swag Squad around STL. The rest of the spots for today (Wednesday) are listed below! They have more stops planned, so follow their social pages for updates.
