Like art? Walking? Southeast Portland? Then you’ll probably enjoy this weekend’s Southeast Area Artwalk.
The SE Area ARTWalk will allow you the opportunity to go on a FREE, self-guided tour by visiting the studios, home workspaces, galleries, host homes and businesses within the “walkable/bikeable/busable” boundaries of SE 9th – SE 41st & SE Hawthorne to SE Powell Blvd.
Check the website for more details.
Over the winter hiatus the Portland Saturday Market vendors have been busily replenishing their supplies of “arts” and “crafts” to sell to unsuspecting visitors to our fair city. The market reopens this Saturday.
I’m only half not serious; there’s some great stuff at Saturday Market. If you’re looking for a tie dyed shirt for that 60s-themed party, or your cat is in withdrawal and needs a fix, or you just crave deep-fried bread dredged through cinnamon and sugar, Saturday Market is the place for you. Every Saturday and Sunday until Xmas eve, and starting this weekend! (via Portland Octopus)
New Old Lompoc’s Fifth Quadrant (3901 N Williams) hosts the 3rd Annual Chowder Challenge this Saturday, from noon-6pm.

Neighborhood Notes has more details.
Oh, I am so excited for the chowder challenge. I’ve had it on my calendar for months. I <3 chowdah.
I like chowdah. Just not clams. I think that makes me weird.
I might have to check out the Art walk, that looks interesting.
