It's a great space with amazing artwork! Many of the people who volunteered were there to join us in supporting a new way of looking at the news. We really appreciate everyone who helped get the May issue off the ground.<br /><br />Joel Iwanaga from Koin 6 news did a nice segment on The Portland Upside for the 11 o'clock news that night. A big thank you to Joel and Koin 6!
