Portland New Uwajimaya! New Boutique Hotel!

Posted by Matt Davis on Thu, Feb 28 at 5:47 PM

Local bloggers Brian Libby and Cuisine Bonne Femme have news on two new projects downtown. Great content guys—thanks for working so hard on these important development issues, so us “reporters” don’t have to.

My pleasure, Matt. I don't think anybody will mourn that Days Inn, will they?

Ditto Matt. And I don't think anyone will miss that sad surface parking lot in Chinatown across the street from where the drug dealers hang out on 4th. Thank goodness the City has finally gotten a clue and supports the building of the mixed us Uwajimaya and housing.

Three Lions Bakery should have stuck around. That area will probably see a boost in traffic if Uwajimaya goes through with this. I'm a little worried that Anzen may suffer with the added competition so close by though.

My hope is that everybody will benefit from both developments. A bit like Starbucks helping the little guys. You know?

Hey Brian, do you think they'd let us both into the Old Days Inn to document the construction?

They better leave all those beautiful cheery trees that ring that parking lot.

...there by removing the last reason anyone from downtown would want to visit Beaverton.
