Well, once again the Memo goes where other newspapers fear to tread.

We’re confessing to messing up the captions on the two photos accompanying last month’s story on the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Oregon Clinic at the Gateway Transit Center in Northeast Portland. The story began on the front page with the title, “Gateway Transit Center project breaks ground.” It continued on to Page 6, and then concluded on Page 10.

So we’re running both photos again, along with another photo that should have been in the story. All three with correct captions.

By the way, we’ve checked, double checked and triple checked this information, and we guarantee it’s as accurate as can be.

Thank you for your patience.
