Community :: In the Mix

Coming in May to the coveted “Duderanch Ballroom” is NuMark Office Interiors.  NuMark is a “full-service commercial furnishings dealership providing clients with a broad range of interior product and furniture service solutions.”  There’s some synchronicity at work in getting this group into the old jazz club, as General Manager Randy Ito has some jazz history himself (you’ll have to ask him).  He’s already known affectionately around the Leftbank office as “Ballroom Randy.”

The breathtaking 3rd floor is probably even more beautiful than the last time you looked.  Beginning this past weekend, Sockeye Creative is moving their operation to Leftbank.  An integrated brand creative agency, they say, “Think of us as a physical trainer for your brand.  We’ll whip it into the best shape of its life.  All muscle.  No fat.  That’s where the metaphor ends.  You won’t catch us checking ourselves out in the mirror.”

Stop by and welcome the new neighbors when you have a chance.  We couldn’t be more pleased to have them on board.

suite 129 is now the offices of Portland Farmers Market

in their words:

Portland Farmers Market was founded in 1992 by a small group of community activists who wanted “to bring the best of the country to the heart of the city.” The original Saturday market at Albers Mill had 13 vendors. Several of those first vendors still sell at PFM. By 2006, PFM had grown to 3 downtown weekly markets with vendor sales in excess of $5 million. In 2006, the market organizers added the management of a fourth market – the Eastbank Farmers Market.

The goals in 1992 were the same as the goals are today – to create venues where local farmers can connect directly with Portland consumers, to build community in an urban setting, and to provide public education on regional farming, gardening and food preparation.
