At this very moment I am sitting at a restaurant in Portland, Oregon, where local food has really invigorated the Pearl District. (A neighborhood a lot like Church Hill)
I’m really grateful for all of our local foodies for the effort they put into their work. I’m amazed at the impact great food can make on a neighborhood. Incredible!
