Bad Idea of the Week
It's almost summer in Portland (aka the Rose City), thus time for the annual schlock-fest we like to consider the Rose Festival... in that spirit, the bad idea of the week goes to the tacky Neon Rose atop the John Yeon designed building (that previously was the visitor's information center and has sadly sat partly to fully idle for a number of years) on Portland's waterfront, championed by City Commissioner Randy Leonard.
