It’s time to dust off your cha-cha heels. A recently installed parquet floor in Director’s Park invites Portlanders to dance the tango every other Monday night through September.
Speaking of moving to the beat, a new short documentary explores the history of hip-hop in Northeast Portland.
And at a time when everyone could use a little extra joy, a Portlander has created a PDX Joy Sidewalk Map. Beyond the little free library, map users will find a mug exchange, mini-dinosaur exchange, and more.
