I Come From...

… a little town west of the Appalachians, west of the mighty Mississippi, west of the Rockies, and west of the majestic Cascade mountains.

It’s a town divided by a river, across which span several bridges.

To some folks it is a big city, to others a small town.  To still others, myself included, it is a big city with a small town feel to it.

It is known by many names:

• Bridgetown
• Stump Town
• River City
• The Rose City
• Microbrew Central

My little town, my city, my home was named as the result of a coin toss in the 1800s.

It’s not much, but it’s my home, my little slice of Heaven, along the banks of the Willamette River.
