Eliot News Throwback Almost-Thursday : October 1992

Eliot News Article: 2nd Gospel Music Festival a Success

On the final day of 2025, look back to the last edition of Eliot News in 1992.

Boyz II Men’s End of the Road maintained its death grip on the top of the charts, President George H.W. Bush’s reelection was about to be upset by a relative political newcomer from Arkansas named Bill Clinton, and fall’s breakout TV debut was Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper.

Closer to home, the covered pool at Dishman Community Center was opening, Kurt and Rob Widmer were moving their brewery to the Smithson-McKay Block, and the Albina Community Plan of 1993 started taking its final shape.

ENA is always looking for contributors to another edition of Eliot News. Current events, history, and more are welcome on our pages. Sometimes the little things matter more than you think in the end.

Read the October 1992 Eliot News, and have a happy new year!
