2020 flipped most of us upside-down, and in doing that, we got a different perspective. That was the case for Dylan and Steven. Like many of us over this past year, they took the new perspective and used it as opportunity to reassess where they want to live. That brought them to Portland.
Admittedly, when they first reached out to talk about moving here, they were unsure if they would make that move. Not to mention, the idea of buying a house across the country in a busy real estate market was a tad overwhelming. We talked through the ins and outs of the Portland real estate market, the neighborhoods that might be a good fit for them, and what the process would be like looking at houses from 2000 miles away.
Not surprising to me, it didn’t take long for them to become confident in their decision to move to Portland. After that, working together to find a great house was actually pretty easy. I work with many people who move to Portland from out of state. I did that at one point too, so I know what it’s like. And once we start talking about considerations, and why the move here, it seems to become clear. I don’t talk people into moving to Portland. I let them decide that on their own. But I do talk with them about what it has to offer, and what they can expect. If they decide against the move, I at least feel helpful in giving them some additional information to make a great decision for themselves. These guys just arrived, and are off on a new adventure.

Without Sheila Boone, I would not have spent the last 10 years living in house that has brought the children and I great joy and many memories. As Sheila aged, she could no longer take care of the home she had lived in for 40 years and reached out to my ex husband and I to purchase it. That was many years ago.. Before I became single and moved into Sheila’s house on my own. After the rats, squirrels and feral cats vacated the property and extra large dumpsters of hoarded items were taken to the dump, the house was gutted. Down to the studs. Only the fir floors would be salvaged since the rest of the house was a 50-80’s hodge-podge. The house was rebuilt slowly. After the new walls went up and fresh paint covered the surfaces, the kids and I moved in. We were now a trio, rather than a family of four. It was a very sad time for me with lots of nights crying myself to sleep and pushing back against a wall of depression. 19 years of marriage and dreams with the same partner dissolves into pulling back the layers of an onion all on your own.
But as time went by, I sunk my creative energy into my little home. Collections of art overtook walls, bird nests filled the porch, plants that I dug up from vacant lots that developers were about to bulldoze were planted in my front yard. The digging, scrubbing, ripping things apart and re-doing became a way for me to channel Sheila’s hard-working-crotchety energy. She once told me that while she had been married for a short period of time (she believed her husband to be gay), she thought herself better on her own. “You make more progress being on your own. There’s no one telling you how things should be.” is what she would say. Not having Sheila’s hardened heart (she carried a chip on her shoulder about every man), I never really believed her. But looking back, I have in fact, channeled some of Sheila’s strong-willed beliefs for the last 10 years.
This week I am moving out of Sheila’s house on SE 34th and into a rental I own 10 blocks away. Saying goodbye to 1129 is bittersweet. I am moving into my rental with a fiancé’ and my children. There are perks to the move – the kids will longer have to share a room and I can see love on a daily basis and share morning coffee daily with him. Lots of big change happening as a ‘four-some’. What would Sheila say to me at this time in my life? — Oddly, I think she would probably tell me another story about growing up in the depression years and how hard it was. Her story might turn to her years as a welder in the shipping yard, but come back and settle on the garden I have planted. She liked all things green and growing and would like what I have done. Finally, with a tip of her head, she might say — You have loved this house. I see that bright and clear. Now, get back to work and pack so you can make the deadline for the new fellow. No dilly-dallying. Allowed.
Yes, I think that’s what Sheila is thinking right now. Get back to work Tracy. You don’t have time to dwell on your emotions or what the future holds. Be present.

Lower Belmont
Hop off the streetcar at the west end of the strip and meander east. Discover the gourmet, family owned grocery, Market of Choice, the Portland outpost of the Tokyo-based Afuri Izakaya, grab a brew at Modern Times Beer and continue on your way.
If you have a curly top, get a Deva Curl haircut at Venus Allure Salon and Spa and play some ping pong at Pips and Bounce, which is right behind the uber-hip Grand Central Bowling alley. Take your time to stroll and window shop, or grab an orange Bike Town bicycle and keep exploring. There are so many cool places to check out. Around the corner from Crush Bar is Farm Spirit, a top notch, hyper locally sourced, vegan eatery (don’t miss their new baby, Fermenter, on SE Morrison).
If it is the holiday season, don’t miss a quick detour along Peacock Lane, just east of Cesar E. Chavez Blvd. to view the quaint English style homes in their full holiday regalia. There is plenty more in the upper Belmont area: coffee, more food carts (house-made vegan ricotta at Dinger’s Deli!) and griddle your own pancakes at Slappy Cakes. You and your cat and dog family members will appreciate the posh environment at Mt. Tabor Veterinary Care, with its overstuffed furniture and tea selections.
Upper Belmont
Belmont is home to some unusual things: PDX Commons Cohousing for seniors, Flipside handmade hat shop, Tabor Space (coffee house and community center) and the treasured Movie Madness Video rental, home to a historied collection of original film costumes and props on full display.
At the eastern end of your adventure, the acclaimed restaurant, Coquine, sits above Mt. Tabor Park, sprawling on an extinct volcano.
