Recently updated lists from Jen K.

Linner, Linner, What's for Dinner? (15) A local's dining guide to West Linn.	Family High Fives (56) Places where everyone in the family is happy to play, dine or (gasp!) learn in and around Portland.
When Pigs Fly.... yep, you're in Wilsonville (20) Don't freak out because you've left Portland. Even this little 'burb has its charms. So if you're headed south, give it a try.	I'm turning Japanese, I really think so! (8) If only I was so lucky. If I can't be in Tokyo (one of my favorite cities), these places at least make my absence more tolerable.
Once a Nor Cal girl.... (23) Some places I've discovered or rediscovered when I go back to N. Cal.	Ashland Favorites (33) The play (and the food) are the thing. How I love this place. Live theatre, the people, Lithia Park, the vibe...
Service me (now) (12) OK, I'm really not that demanding.	A Girl's Gotta Eat (and Drink)! (28) Some favorites in Portland
Bend Rover, Bend Rover, Jen's Coming on Over! (54) My home away from home in Oregon. Favorites in Bend, Redmond, Sisters and beyond.	Hey to the L-O (24) I can't hate on a burb with this much good stuff.
