Category: What’s Happening in Sunnyside?

Hello everyone,

In case you haven’t seen it – the work on the improved crossing at 46^th and Belmont is at about the mid-point.  The sidewalk has been reconstructed and the curb extension has been formed to be “poured.”  The last bit of finishing work to be completed will be striping the actual crosswalk and TriMet relocating the bus stop.

Just thought I’d give everyone an update.

Thank you for your patience!

Kyle

Celebrate PARK(ing) Day and The Intertwine!

Parking spaces transform into mini-parks on September 17

Get ready for a green invasion on Friday, September 17 as PARK(ing) Day takes to the streets in the Portland-Vancouver metropolitan area — and around the world! PARK(ing) Day demonstrates the need for urban green space and while it does get people’s attention for the day, all around our region many other green spaces and trails that make up The Intertwine can bring joy every day.

Rebar, a San Francisco art and design studio, created PARK(ing) Day in 2005. Since then, it has become an ongoing, worldwide, open-source experiment in reclaiming public space. Learn how Rebar combines design and activism at www.rebargroup.org.

Sunnyside will enjoy its park adjacent to the SE 33rd & Belmont bike corral. Thanks to the businesses Utopia and Dick’s Kitchen for being on board. And a big shout out to SNA’s Bill Stites for actively coordinating this yet again this year.

Saturday September 18th, 10:00am-4:00pm at the Gateway Fred Meyer store at NE 102nd & Halsey. Look for the Portland Police Bureau Mobile Precinct.

The purpose of the one day event is to destroy unused and potentially dangerous prescription drugs in a manner that raises awareness about the abuse of prescription drugs among teens, while protecting our waterways. Community members will be able to turn in unused prescription medications, obtain information about keeping kids safe from the abuse of prescriptions drugs, and interact with Crime Prevention Coordinators and Portland Police Officers. Prescription medications turned in at this event will be incinerated.

What to Bring:

• Expired or unwanted prescription medications.
• Drugs that are no longer used
• Medicine from desceased family members

Leave all medicines in their orginal containers if possible. Please do NOT bring thermometers, needles, or medical waste of any type. For more info contact Jenni Bernheisel at 503-823-2781 or [email protected].

Musicians, Voice Actors and Sound Effect Artists Bring Magic to Classic Animation Film Gulliver’s Travels in Benefit Fundraiser for Richmond and Sunnyside Neighborhood Associations

On Sunday, September 19, 2010, the Richmond and Sunnyside Neighborhood Associations and Filmusik will present a special showing of the 1939 animation film classic Gulliver’s Travels at the Bagdad Theater for a fundraising benefit for the two neighborhood associations.  A very special feature of the film is that the entire soundtrack to the film will be recreated live through a 20 person crew that will include 4 cartoon voice-over actors, sound effects (Foley) artists, and the Filmusik Chamber performing an original music score – – every line, song, and sound from the movie will be recreated live in front of the audience.

Filmusik presented this production for a 4-night run at the Hollywood Theater to rave reviews.  Due to the immense popularity of the Hollywood shows, the Sunnyside and Richmond Neighborhood  Associations will reprise this production for one more night  — don’t miss it.  McMenamins is donating the use of the Bagdad Theater for this benefit fundraiser.  Tickets will be $10. Buy Now!

Filmusik is a collaborative performance group of local musicians, composers and actors creating unique movie experiences by performing original soundtracks for classic films. Filmusik recently teamed up with the Richmond Neighborhood Association and Portland Parks and Recreation to show the silent film dinosaur classic Lost World in Sewallcrest Park as part of the Portland’s summer Movies in the Park program.
