Happy Thursday! Anyone else going to the Blazers game tonight? I haven't been to a game in probably 6 or 7 years, if not longer, so I'm pretty excited to go with a big group of pals! Fingers crossed we win so I can get the full experience. Anyway, enough about my plans. Let's see what's going on around Portland!

But first, we’ve got a giveaway! Enter to win a pair of tickets to the Chaotic Singles Halloween Party at Moxy Portland Downtown on Friday, Oct. 30th!

THIS WEEKEND

YOUR CAR INSURANCE COMPANY DOES NOT LOVE YOU 

Hello, operator of a motor vehicle. You've stayed with the same car insurance company for years - which is beautiful - but they have never, ever thought about you. They are NOT working behind the scenes to save you money, which means you might not have the lowest rate. Money.com's free tool compares quotes from multiple providers in minutes to see how much you may or may not be getting screwed over by your car insurance company.

LOCALS ONLY

• La Casa de Mamá, a family-run vegan Mexican bakery, is getting ready to open its first storefront in North Portland’s Eliot neighborhood. More baked goods coming our way!

• NW Marine Art Works is opening up its 75+ artist studios for a holiday market packed with local art, handmade gifts, and plenty to explore. Stop by December 4th–6th for a ticketed Friday night preview or free admission Saturday and Sunday!
