We live in a plastic world, but don’t forget to squirrel away a bona fide buck before you head out tomorrow morning, because you won’t want to miss the latest edition of Street Roots. Here’s what’s coming your way Friday morning:
Oregon’s budding future? Peter Buckley sees relief for the state’s financial nausea in legalized crops of cannabis. Amanda Waldroupe interviews the Oregon representative on his legislative proposal.
Plugged in with AMP: Former Consolidated musician shares the freed of music with Portland’s homeless youths. Devan Schwartz spends time with the band.
Our daily bread: Clackamas Service Center struggles to stay open as demand in the community continues to rise. Joanne Zuhl chronicles an afternoon at the center that provides food, meals, resources, health care and hope.
Pseudo Pink: A new column for Streets Roots from the gay perspective on the streets.
Plus, a letter from Melissa Walsh, on how being a Street Roots vendor has changed her life, and how you can give a hand to many more like her. And there’s more from Art Garcia’s dubious life poetry from the streets. Don’t miss the latest edition, ready and waiting Friday morning in the hardworking hands of your friendly neighborhood vendor!
