I'm a historical landscape architect, photographer, writer, recovering graphic designer and journalist, pop culture enthusiast, and unabashed sports fan. I started this blog to keep in touch with friends from Boston when I moved back to my hometown of Portland, Oregon. I wanted a way to share stories that I would have otherwise shared over drinks or while watching a Red Sox game. In my dream world I wouldn't have to choose between living on the west coast or east coast. This blog allows me to zip up the distance between the two.
