Portland

Two Tales of Two Deaths

12.20.07 | Comment?

This is a sad tale, but it is also an example of first-class journalism and writing.  I read the original story of the two deaths in the Oregonian, thought it was odd but never saw any follow-up.  Thankfully Nancy Rommelmann has the instincts and chops to find out far more than the original reporting uncovered.  Nancy is one of Portland’s own and there are more examples of her excellent writing at her site.

Speaking of Portland’s own, I saw our city’s Chief of Police while on my way to work this morning.  She was sitting in the coffee shop on the ground floor of the company’s office building, engaged in what I’m sure was serious cop talk.  This is apropos of very little, except that Portland is still a small enough city that it’s not unremarkable to see our city officials out and about, unattended by any entourage.  Except I just remarked on it, which proves what?
