Readers of the east Portland’s Mid-county Memo may find stimulating, as we did, the news report by KATU-TV on the Portland Pensione motel’s holiday dinner held Dec. 24. To read the story, or to view a video, go to KATU-TV’s link to the story.

Another point of reference regarding this story can be found in a Perlman’s Potpourri item from the October 2006 issue of the Mid-county Memo, scroll to the bottom to this headline: “Words don’t match actions at nuisance property.”

In addition, the Memo heartily encourages its readers to tell us their opinion of the story, either pro or con, at our Web log, or blog.
