Happy Thanksgiving! I hope your day is going well.  I feel blessed still further, after watching this video starring Street Roots vendor Raymond.  Thankful that we live in the City of Roses, where people care about each other.

If your thoughts are turning to shopping, there are many worthy organizations offering thoughtful gifts that also give back to worthy causes in our community, at the Give!Guide web site.  Remember, when you shop at locally owned businesses, your money helps support Portland's economy to a greater extent than if you buy from out-of-state corporations.
