🌸 INCREDIBLE! For a few nights only, the cherry blossoms along Tom McCall Waterfront Park are getting a rare after-dark glow-up. @HollywoodLightsPDX’s “Ambush Lighting” program, in collaboration with @jamopdx, is illuminating a section of the waterfront from sunset to 10pm. Head downtown on Wednesday evening for the final night! 🌸 📸: @datguy_eddy #DowntownPDX

@honorablementionpdx is finally open! @damianlillard’s new luxury sports lounge in @thebensonhotel has been one of downtown’s most anticipated spots. The decor and vibe celebrate pioneering Black athletes from Ivy League schools and feature artwork by local Black artists inspired by those players. And just wait till you see the menu… Incredible! Come down to the heart of Rip City to enjoy it! 🎥: @datguy_eddy #DowntownPDX #RipCity
