Comedy for a Cure
About 30 neighborhood marathoners are raising $3,000 apiece for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, which supports blood cancer research and cures, by running the Portland Marathon on LLS’s Team In Training. Participant and neighborhood resident Davette Kemp says many of her teammates are White Rock area residents. Fundraising efforts include a night of standup at Hyena’s Comedy Nightclub, from which proceeds go toward the collective $37,000 goal.

Meat.
It’s what’s for dinner, always, at One90 Smoked Meats. One90 offers a variety of small-batch craft meats at its recently opened storefront in the shopping center at Northwest Highway and Easton. The business was the brainchild of a group of friends who all attended Bryan Adams High School. It began as a hobby, simply smoking meats together. “We started by doing that for a while, and then we just kind of realized that it was really, really good smoked meat,” says partner Herman Guerra. So they decided to launch One90 and start selling meat online and at local farmers markets. They began with barbecue and eventually added things like smoked duck and lamb. Then they opened a physical location in July. “We’ve only been here a few weeks and it has been a tremendous start,” Guerra says. They’ve been up to their offal in business, and they’re also partnering with local restaurants such as Goodfriend and Greenville Avenue Pizza Company. At the storefront, neighbors can buy smoked meat to-go that is packaged and ready to be heated and consumed. One90 also offers a variety of sandwiches that can be eaten on the premise. Either way, your next meal will be so tender that it just might make you cry like a grown man.
