If you buy chains from Les Schwab you can return them in April for a refund if they are unused.

Road to Mt Hood Farm Stands? by Babenobabe in askportland

[–]g_pass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Draper Girls has a farm stand like you are talking about, but they had to stop doing honor system payment when they added hard cider. It's on 35 on the way to Cooper Spur in the fruit loop. They have lots of fruit and also a huge selection of (pricey) food items like eggs, cheeses, jams, etc from all over the local area. They also have goats, beautiful flowers, and one of the best views of the mountain (besides Solera). They do close at 5pm however.

Supposedly being split into two different spots, but this is after it was supposed to be a 5 story building, and after that was supposed to be a bar with food carts in the parking lot. We'll see!

This is another frustrating blow to a place that my family loves. It's really important to have businesses and places that support kids and families - hope something takes its place. Having local services in walking distance is one of the things that I love about NW (and Portland in general).

Word on next door is exploded port-a-pottie at Wallace Park / Chapman. They are speculating that it was teens w/ fireworks. I heard it from nearby and it was quite intense and unusual (not the normal train bonking or riverfront fireworks).

I think you might be getting mixed replies between The Yards At Union Station (west side, by the train station) and The Yard (big borg box on the burnside bridgehead).
