Portland in the News: Tiny Sign for Mills End Park; Biking Through the Drive-Thru; Guardian Angel Patrol & More! | May 31, 2018

The World’s Tiniest Park now has an official sign. Portland Parks & Recreation recently built and installed a tiny sign for Mills End Park.

This year’s Rose Festival Parade grand marshal walks on 4 legs. The parade’s first canine grand marshal is a 185-pound English Mastiff named Diesel!

And Portland is expected to adopt new rules this summer which will allow customers on foot or bicycle to use the drive thru window.
