Portland Haunted Houses   This is the time of year that folks start to pull out the holiday bins of decorations down from the rafters.    My children would not let me sleep right until I carried all the stuff to the edge of our garage. We lifted the lids off bins as if they were sealed tombs and the scary decorations emerged.    We spent hours hanging fun for everyone. They even talked me into doing the spider webs from hedge to hedge. The neighbors have accepted this with positive comments and thumbs up from many people.   I think we will be taking everything down on Saturday provided the weather's not horrible preventing us from packing the bins of SPIRIT HALLOWEEN away for another year.   Please send me your pictures and I will share them on our BLOG if you like.   LAKEOSWEGOVIEW.COM...

TOTALLY copied from someone's great holiday list and too ghoul (good) to pass up!    Where do fashionable ghosts shop for sheets? [This one is so bad that it's actually quite good!] Bootiques. What do you call someone who puts poison in a person's corn flakes? A cereal killer. What do you get when you cross a vampire and a snowman? Frostbite. What do you get when you cross a werewolf and a vampire? A fur coat that fangs around your neck. What does a vampire never order at a restaurant? A stake sandwich. What do you call a witch in the desert? A sandwitch. What does a vampire fear the most? Tooth decay. Where did the vampire open his savings account? At a blood bank. Who do vampires buy their cookies from?  The Ghoul Scouts What do you get when you cross Bambi with a ghost? Bamboo. What ...

Tax Increase - May Depend On Desirable Zip Codes REMEMBER...No State Sales Tax   Many of us are reading through our property tax statements arriving in the mail. Interesting fact is that some of us are in for some sticker shock as we follow the trend of rising home prices and past measures that went into effect. Back in 1990, Oregon's Measure 5 was voted into effect and tax relief capped taxes for education and general government for $5 and $10 respectively per $1,000 of a home's value. However, the cap can rise at the same rate as home prices because the limit is based on every $1,000 of real market value and not the assessed value.   PORTLAND'S Desirable ZIP CODE   Real market values are headed UP as the market recovers from our past economic downturn. You could see an increase in you...

When we view Portland river property I like to take pictures of the blue sky and crisp clouds to get us through the grey months.  PORTLAND WATERFRONT PROPERTY Mr. Blue Sky is a song recorded by English band ELO Electric Light Orchestra.  Aboard the final mission of Space Shuttle Atlantis Mr. Blue Sky was played for astronaut Christopher Ferguson on DAY 3 of STS-135. We like out blue sky here too. Portlandia also like the rain. Sometimes I see more people running in the rain and walking their dogs through puddles then I see out on sunny days. Fall is here. Out on the Oregon Coast more then 4 inches of rain fell in under 24 hours. That's why I feature blue sky photos when reporters say brace yourselves for more raindrops. We LOVE blue & grey.   Here is a picture from Portland's waterfront...

                                Last week, Robin Corbo's latest Portland mural had it's big ribbon cutting.   You can see this one at the Oregon Health and Science School of Nursing (known as OHSU for short).  The school commissioned the mural to honor the diverse communities served by the School of Nursing, and I think Robin was the perfect choice as the mural artist.  But hey!  I'm totally biased!

Dunthorpe Home FOR SALE   All of us in the office agree that this Portland suburb is about as good as it gets. Directly North of Lake Oswego is where Dunthorpe is located and it is closer to the City of Portland financial district.   The range in price for Dunthorpe real estate is    $4,500,000 asking price 11,653 square feet - Six Bedrooms and 6.3 Bathrooms to $1,000,000 asking price 7,000 square feet - Five Bedrooms and 4.1 Bathrooms   ALL the wonderful things about living in Dunthorpe are the parks, schools and location.

Desert in the Pearl  Earlier this week before going to the Eagles Concert (OMG, what an event THAT WAS), a core group of us girlfriends (The "BraPack") visited with our girlfriend, Brenda (third from the left), who just bought a loft apartment with her husband in the much-coveted area called "The Pearl District". Doesn't that even SOUND gloriously upscale? They moved into The Gregory, an amazingly gorgeous Art Decoish building, reminiscent of an old-fashioned Audrey Hepburn hotel in NY.  I took this first photo outside on her loft balcony, facing the fading sunset. It felt like some desert shot, far far away in a country SO unlike America!      Her husband told us that they eat out or order in every night and there are five restaurants in the building alone! Not my cup of tea, but they ...
