HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Our annual meeting is January 31, 2012 in St Philip Neri’s Carvlin Hall from 11:30 – 1:30.  In keeping with tradition, we will have a great meal courtesy of our D/CBA restaurants, a silent auction, elections, and this year, a LOT of information about upcoming changes to our streets.  Save the date and plan to attend.

Eugene Gray of Eugenios has added Freedom Yoga to his space at 3584 SE Division on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 6:45 to 8:30 am.  Fees are on a sliding scale.  Eugene teaches Lyengar, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, and other disciplines.   Call Eugene at 503.358.7848 for more information.

The Woodsman Market at 4529 SE Division is now open.  Artist Annie Meyer at Studio 2507 on SE Clinton is rumored to have opened a new spot in the Pearl.

TOCICI began in 1995 as GW Computers, became GB Computers in 1998 and TOCICI (The Only Constant Is Change Itself) in 2008.  TOCICI is a small, locally owned Internet business that designs and manages large international private networks.  TOCICI is located just off 39th and Division.

In October, Maureen Maclise moved Belmont Yoga over to 5001 SE Brooklyn Studio D, and renamed it Portland Therapeutic Yoga.

Bartleby Bear’s Book Collective opening January 2012 at 3561 SE Division is sharing space with Rin Jackson.  Rin has moved her studio but will continue to display her work at 3561. Replacing the Blue Pig at 5026 SE Division is Mi Mero Mole, offering tacos, burritos, quesadillas, guisados, and alcohol. 

Rumor also says that the Road Runner Café will open soon at 3570 SE Division, the window wrapped space between Division Wines and Sovereign Tattoo.

December News

Artist Gila Lane plans to open Lane Gallery at 2627 SE Clinton in early January.  Gila plans to feature other artists each month and to offer evening events: music, comedy, poetry, & salons.  Bluebird Real Estate at 2615 SE Clinton is donating the proceeds from two sales to Richmond Place, the Portland Impact Program at 41st and Division.  The Bluebird Gift sale on December 17th will donate 10% and the Bluebird Charity Bake Sale on December 18th will donate 100%.  Stop by and know your money is going to a good cause.  They are also collecting new and lightly used clothing and canned foods throughout the weekend.  Bloomsbury Floral, in the front of Bluebird, will be offering small gifts and seasonal floral arrangements.  Sub Rosa is open for Breakfast and lunch on Saturdays and Sundays.  Across the street from Sub Rosa, Living Room Realtors at 2625 SE 26th is still preparing the former warehouse for occupancy.

Early in 2012, Katie Poppe opens her fourth Little Big Burger at 3810 SE Division in the Move The House building.  The website, www.littlebigburger.com, shows a simple, reasonably priced menu.  We have a couple of boarded windows on Division, Primp beauty salon at 43rd and New Thai Blues restaurant at 41st.  The latter looks like a car drove into the wall and took the window with it.  The city has plans to straighten out that curve.

The restored store at 4912 SE Division posted a liquor application that states the business owner wants to sell wine and/or beer in containers, perhaps a wine shop or specialty beers?  We’ll need to wait and see what happens.  The Woodsman Market at 4525 SE Division has moved from brown paper on the windows to dark blue. 

Dues statements are on their way.  Please consider joining the D/CBA next year.  Your dues will help support our efforts to keep Division and Clinton humming while the streets are torn up and resurfaced. 

The best of the season to all of you and we look forward to seeing you at our annual meeting in January.
