The former 3 Doors Down space is getting a new restaurant. That would be Maura's, which describes itself as "a neighborhood cantina rooted in memory, Jalisco tradition, and everyday gathering." Alejandro Preciado and Katelyn Stewart of Salem's Precious Pizza, which started the pop-up P3 in December 2020 (that was during the COVID pandemic), are behind this project. 1429 SE 37th Avenue, Portland
New life for the old Forest Park Drive-In? Seems like someone wants this to be the case—a recent permit was set up on June 9, and is currently Under Review. The details for this new restaurant includes new interior walls, a new exterior ramp, and re-striping the parking lot. A new detached trash enclosure (less than 120 square feet) is part of the plan, and they also want to remove an existing post and shed porch on the northwest side of the building. The applicant? Lorraine Guthrie, which means they are not messing around. And this Oregonian article about the building and the people connected to it is fascinating. I hope something awesome opens up here. 8410 NW Skyline Blvd, Portland
