Fred Meyer – Hawthorne
Fred Meyer Hawthorne
In July, the Hawhorne Fred Meyers LEEDs (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified remodel will be completed making it the first “green” store in the Oregon chain. “Working for LEED certification for the Hawthorne store is just one part of an environmental responsibility initiative at Fred Meyer that applies to all aspects of the business – from cutting fuel consumption in transportation to using recycled material and reducing use of electricity. This holistic approach will be applied to the renovated Hawthorne Fred Meyer, affecting everything from inside the walls to the parking lot.” More info here. The Hawthorne neighborhood is a great area to introduce this type of design since the area fiercly supports sustainable living. Fred Meyer is known for it’s “one stop shop” convenience and lives up to that promise.
Located in the Hawthorne Neighborhood:
39th and SE Hawthorne

Cha Cha Cha – Milwaukie Oregon
salsa
The downtown Milwaukie area is getting cuter and cuter every day. The opening of a Cha Cha Cha on the main strip is a sign that they are up and coming. The interior is smallish but the darker wood floors and decor makes you feel like you are in a hip restaurant in the Pearl. My favorite dish here is the mashed potato taquitos that are smothered in sour cream, lettuce and fresh salsa. They will make you want to instantly curl up and take a nap the moment you finish eating so you might want to get them to go. I am pretty conviced that downtown Milwaukie will soon be the new Sellwood so you might want to get in while it is still affordable.
Papa Haydn – Sellwood Oregon
I have been to the Papa Hydn on NW 23rd a couple of times but this is the first time that I have been to the Sellwood location. It is in a very cute, older building and there is a pretty good amount of seating. We were there for a birthday celebration and they were very accomodating for a larger group (plus they have outdoor seating for warmer days). I had the berry cobbler with vanilla ice cream and it was so delisious, served warm so that the ice cream is slightly melted (I was only able to eat about 1/3 of it so next time I will have to share with someone). I love the Sellwood neighborhood and on this paricular evening it was slightly warmer outside and the whole area smelled like an amazing scented candle. I can see why everyone that I know is dying to live here.
