There’s something about this stretch of winter that invites a reset without the pressure of reinvention. Fewer distractions, a little more intention, and more room for the things that actually feel good right now. In this issue, before we expand to the burbs, we explore the next quadrant of the urban core Northeast Portland that blends historic charm and everyday livability translating to one of the city’s most dynamic areas. You’ll also find a fireside guide for cozy drinks or dinner when the weather calls for warmth, along with a coconut curry lentil stew made for slow evenings and leftovers worth repeating. An exploration of Color (or colors) of the Year through a home and real estate lens, with an events calendar that offers a gentle nudge to enjoy what’s nearby, stay connected, and lean into adventure near and far. Here's to making space for the good stuff!
