Williams/Vancouver
Experience the vibrant renaissance
of the Williams/Vancouver Corridor
as reflected in retail stores,
restaurants, nonprofits and
residences. When you visit, don’t
miss the public murals by artists
Tom Cramer and Bruce Orr on
SCRAP’s building at Williams and
Failing. Pick up materials to create
your own art at SCRAP, settle down
with friends and a pint at Lompoc or Vendetta or grab a bite at Dalo’s
Ethiopian restaurant, the Pirate
Chicken House or “vegan out” at
Nutshell. Work off those chococalories
from PIX at Yoga Shala or
by planting the organic starts from
Livingscape Nursery. Jay will fix
your lawn mower and Mr. Jenkins
will repair your car. Write to friends
about this great district on an
old-school letterpress card from
Lark Press. The Natural Burial
Company serves a different
“longer-term” need… Join longstanding
community groups at
several churches or the Oregon
Association of Minority Entrepreneurs
to build networks amongst
the neighbors and businesses.
