King NA meeting, & other n’hood events – October.

Posted on by

Join us October 14th for our monthly King NA meeting!

Mike Boyer, Liquor Licensing Program Coordinator at the City of Portland will speak to the King Neighborhood Association Wednesday, October 14th at 7:00 pm at the offices of the  Northeast Coalition of Neighborhoods (NECN), 4815 NE 7th Avenue.

He will speak on livability issues such as living near noisy bars, late night racket from bars, and specifically, patios off bars. He will brainstorm answers about safeguards for communities with the ever expanding alcohol markets. How does this expansion affect the saturation problem in King? Mike Boyer will let us know how neighbors and his relationship with them in King will enhance livability for all.

Other events coming in the neighborhood….

Arts & Culture:

Portland Playhouse at 602 NE Prescott is currently showing How We Got On, by Idris Goodwin. A couple of events happening along with it are:

Oregon Humanities and Portland Playhouse present an evening of performance and conversation about local hip hop culture, rap music, and how musicians break into the scene. The event will take place on Tuesday, October 13, at 7 pm at the Playhouse. Oregon Humanities Conversation Project leader Donnell Alexander will facilitate the conversation, with performances by Glenn Waco, DJ Verbz, and the cast of How We Got On.

Join your neighbors for a special Northeast Coalition of Neighborhoods-hosted performance of How We Got On on Saturday Oct. 24th. NECN Executive Director, Damon Isiah Turner, will welcome the audience and share information about how to connect with your neighborhood associations and make a direct impact on our community!
