"A 70-degree day in March is honestly not a good thing, people. And to make matter's worse, the nasty Bradford Pear AKA Callery Pear trees are in bloom. They're stinking up the blocks they're on because they're trying to attract flies to help them pollinate."
"The fallout from investigative reporting by the New York Times on accusations of child sex abuse against civil rights leader Cesar Chavez has been a mix of swiftness and obvious shock. By 10 am Wednesday, Councilor Candace Avalos announced on Bluesky that she had begun looking into the process and talking with community leaders about renaming Cesar Chavez blvd to Dolores Huerta blvd."
"Long-running LGBTQ+ electronic dance party Blow Pony saddles up for the last time on Saturday, calling it quits after 19 years of glorious gay revelry. Mercury contributor Andrew Jankowski spoke with the event's founder about why nearly 20 years of planning electro ragers is probably enough."
Portland faces a 67-degree day followed by a temperature drop to 58 degrees by Saturday. Unseasonable March warmth has triggered Bradford Pear trees to bloom, releasing an unpleasant odor as they attract flies for pollination. Following New York Times investigative reporting on child sex abuse accusations against civil rights leader Cesar Chavez, Portland Councilor Candace Avalos announced plans to explore renaming Cesar Chavez Boulevard to Dolores Huerta Boulevard. The reporting documents stories of individuals betrayed by adults during their childhood. Additionally, the long-running LGBTQ+ electronic dance party Blow Pony will hold its final event on Saturday after 19 years of operation.
