Momentum magazine
It looks like the new issue is out. There's a lot about Portland in this mainly Vancouver-based magazine. I wonder if they're angling to be the bikey magazine for the Pacific Northwest. I'd sure welcome that. There's some great writing in there.
I wish the B.C.'ers would come visit this subforum sometimes. They come to physical Portland often enough, and my life has more in common with them than, say, someone in Houston, TX...

It's both. I understand the print version is free in the Vancouver, BC area, though they have a subscription available.

I went to go hear Gordon Price speak a couple of weeks ago when he was in Portland. Apart from being a fantastic speaker, he also feels right at home in Bridgetown.
