Culinary historian Heather Arndt Anderson will talk about the Quaker father of Oregon’s fruit orchards–and his freaky Honduran sex cult!

Crime historian JB Fisher will talk about Portland’s pioneering female journalist Ann Sullivan, who covered vice raids, prison riots, sensational murders, and all manner of zany stories in mid-late Twentieth century Portland.”

Stumptown Stories, batshit crazy stories from the murkiest, weirdest, and nuttiest corners of Portland history, takes place the second Tuesday of the month at the Jack London. The Rialto is closing in December, so this is the second-to-last Stumptown Stories at the Rialto – Don’t miss it!

Admission is free. Doors open at 7:00 PM, 21 and over only.

Apple tasting, H.P. Lovecraft, Oktoberfest, Bikes and Beer, Archives – and more! A weekend with something for everyone.

All Weekend

Apple Tasting!Portland Nursery Apple Tasting Event

About the time the leaves begin to change color, it’s time to celebrate the abundance of apples and pears. We’re always well-supplied with a large variety of apples and pears to taste and purchase by the pound, as many as 60 different varieties in all!

Tasting lines, as well as our fresh-pressed cider demonstration and tasting, will be open during all six days of this free event.

H P LovecraftH.P. Lovecraft Film Festival

The H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival® & CthulhuCon™ promotes the works of H.P. Lovecraft, literary horror, and weird tales through cinematic adaptations by professional and amateur filmmakers, panel discussions, author readings, gaming, art, and sometimes live music. The festival was founded in Portland, OR in 1995 by Andrew Migliore, with the desire that H.P. Lovecraft would be rightly recognized as a master of gothic horror and his work more faithfully adapted to film and television.

Friday-Saturday

The ninth annual Handmade Bike and Beer Festival is a collaboration between the Oregon Bicycle Constructors Association (OBCA) and the Oregon Brewers Guild. This family friendly, event pairs renowned bike frame and parts builders with great, local craft beer.

Stumptown Stories: The Food and Drug Extravaganza (13 September 2016)

September 13, 2016 by Dave Leave a Comment

Stumptown Stories at the Jack: The Food and Drug Extravaganza

Stumptown Stories presents The Food and Drug Extravaganza on Tuesday, September 13, 2016 at Jack London bar (basement of the Rialto, SW 4th and Alder).

Join Heather Arndt Anderson and Finn J D John of the Stumptown Stories troupe for a night of eating and drinking safe, delicious food and beverages, while talking about the bad old days and their unsafe, impure (but still delicious!) food and drugs.

The appearance of modern markets across America, with their brightly lit aisles, sparkling glass cases and fresh foods, is in no small part thanks to the efforts of one Portland woman more than a century ago: Lilian Tingle. Heather will have the full story.

Then Finn will talk about the patent-medicine swindlers of the 1890s to 1910s — the fellows who rolled into town in a wagon with a fiddle and hawked tapeworm eggs and hardcore opiates that would cure the everlasting hell out of whatever was bothering you. This will be topped off with a story of a swindler from Albany whose erectile-dysfunction cure was so scammy, it got him prosecuted by the American Medical Association. (We’re saving this part for last, because you’re going to want to have a few drinks on board before you hear how this “cure” worked.)

Stumptown Stories, batshit crazy stories from the murkiest, weirdest, and nuttiest corners of Portland history, takes place the second Tuesday of every month at the Jack London.

Admission is free. Doors open at 7:00 PM, 21 and over only.

OH’s Podcast Release Party! “Policing in Oregon.”KAOH’s Podcast Release Party! “Policing in Oregon.”

On September 11th, 2016, Kick Ass Oregon History will host the release party for their new podcast series, “Policing in Oregon.” The event will start a 7:00pm (doors at 6:30) at Turn! Turn! Turn! (8 NE Killingsworth St, Portland). The cover charge is $5.

“Policing in Oregon” is a series of podcasts that examines how Oregonians have historically been policed, and how we want to be policed in the future. As we look at policing actions in the past, we also seek interpretation from current experts and observers of those events. Interviews were conducted with Mayor Hales, former PPB Chief Derrick Foxworth, a slew of current and former law enforcers, journalists and historians. Some of whom will join us for the evening!

Swirling SwiftsChapman Vaux’s Swift Watch 2016

Every year in late August, one of Portland’s most spectacular natural events begins: Thousands of Vaux’s Swifts gather in the city as they prepare to migrate to Central America and Venezuela. Migrating swifts often use chimneys as roosts (places to sleep), and they are likely to return to the same roost year after year. One population has been returning to Chapman since the 1980s, and it is one of the largest known roosting sites of migrating Vaux’s Swifts.
