I was reading an article recently regarding the $8,000. tax credit for first time home buyers, and the writer expressed shock at how many people are completely unaware of it. I have noticed in my own practice recently that the larger PR machine has evidently not been doing a very good job at educating [...]
For some time now I’ve been wanting to highlight some local restaurants and places that I enjoy frequenting here in Lake Oswego. Today I want to let you know about 3 wonderful restaurants on the Lake Grove side of town. All 3 are practically institutions in the area, having been in business for many years. [...]
There is such a panoply of amenities in Lake Oswego that Dianne and I have been talking about incorporating profiles of local favorites from time to time. I thought I’d begin with a very special person who I would be lost without… my local “dog-whisperer”, Valerie Pulley.

Unlike many facilities that focus on one discipline, Lake Oswego Hunt works with Combined Training, Dressage, and Hunter/Jumper. So if you [...]
Lake Oswego’s historic Iron Furnace in George Rogers Park is set for a face lift, to be completed in June 2009.
This local treasure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is in need of some tender loving care. The exterior of the 44-foot high furnace is in decent shape, but [...]
Well, Hazelia Field at Luscher Farm has withstood the test of two seasons and is now receiving not only raves, but awards as well!
Construction was completed on the new multi-use field near Lakeridge High School in the spring, the first sporting events being soccer and lacrosse. The field also accommodates football and baseball. It boasts [...]
OK, technically Bridgeport Village is not in Lake Oswego. It is just across the city boundary line in Tigard. But it is one of the great features of living in Lake Oswego. Built in 2006, Bridgeport Village is a lifestyle mall. It is designed to be walked in and enjoyed like [...]
Absolutely one of the best features of living in Lake Oswego is the ability to enjoy the lake. And one of my favorite ways to enjoy it is by riding a bike, or taking a walk or a jog around it. The first time I ran the lake was in 1980. [...]
