Frank Niro has posted a list of a few of the many things to do
in Portland Oregon area. Portland is just across the Columbia River from Vancouver Washington the site of the 2012
US Open.

Thanks Rusty. I will add some more items for the Washington side of the river as the event approaches. Note that 2012 will be the 25th anniversary of the previous US Open held in the Portland area won by GM Lev Alburt.
Here’s the link to the particular blog entry mentioned above. It’ll make it easier to locate later since I will be adding several new posts this weekend concerning the Portland CC Centennial tournament. As a result, the “things to do” post will soon drop off the front page of the blog.
