For the love of everything #bicycle related, can anyone please tell me if the #Portland #Oregon metropolitan area has any sort of of a regularly occuring #bike swap meet going on?

If not, why the heck not?

Anyone want to get together, have some coffee, and help me organize one? I can't be the only one with a parts bin full of stuff that could be out in the world and being put to good use!

Please respond. Boost for visibility. I really want to get something going here.

"Yachats is the first community on the Pacific Coast to be named a Bird City by the Bird City Network, which has about 300 participating communities in North and South America, according to founders with the nonprofit American Bird Conservancy and Environment for the Americas.

Education is part of the Bird City program"

Two juvenile pelicans sitting on a rock with ocean in the background. The bird on the left has its neck pulled in and is looking at the other pelican. The bird on the right has its neck extended and is looking back at the first pelican. It sort of looks like they're talking to each other, good candidate for a caption contest! Photo by Jim Welch

Oregon has the first ‘Bird City’ on the Pacific Coast. Here’s what that means

The coastal community earned the designation for conservation efforts.

Children work in the hops in Oregon often all day and every day during the picking season. Oregon, Polk County, Independence. See general caption number 45-1

The image depicts a young child working in an outdoor setting, specifically within what appears to be a farm or garden area. The vegetation around the child is dense with leafy plants and bushes indicating that it could possibly be during harvest season. There's significant detail visible of foliage which seems matured and ripe.

From this angle, we can see both halves of the child: they are wearing loose-fitting clothing made up from what appears to be a patchwork or mended pieces, suggesting resourcefulness in use of available materials for attire amidst challenging conditions. The child’s expression is pensive, possibly fatigued but attentive as he looks into the camera.

The photograph is black and white which gives it an aged feel; judging by its quality and style, this could be a historical image from mid-20th century America or similar contexts where such work was common among children. The watermark text on top reads '3_rodos' followed by numbers that resemble the date 1945.

The child's posture is somewhat weary yet determined; they are holding what seems like tools related to farming, suggesting active involvement in laborious tasks typical of farm life during a certain era or possibly still practiced in some developing regions. The ground is littered with leaves and organic matter indicative of an agricultural setting. — The image depicts a young child working in an outdoor setting, specifically within what appears to be a farm or garden area.

Anyone know places in/near Portland where love locks naturally grow? I'm looking to pick a bouquet while I'm here.
