Foster: not just for felons. With two new places opening this month, SE Foster is starting to get some attention (and this time it’s the good kind). Carlo’s, a new coffee shop and breakfast joint from the people who brought you Acme and the Moon & Sixpence opened last week. The breakfast fare is good and there are no lines. They serve Stumptown, and you’ll finally get a chance to check out that cool Russian restaurant building that’s always piqued your interest when you drove by.

Next Thursday, there’ll be a brand-new bar in the hood with the Slingshot Lounge. It’s in the old Foster Grounds building. Apparently walls have been knocked down to make the space into a huge fun zone. There’ll be pinball and a booths a’plenty. Totally worth checking out next week.
