The drummers were drumming, the dancers were dancing, the horns we’re hooting and boy was the singer singing as Melao de Cuba rocked Dawson park Cuban style.

Land Use 101
The NE Quadrant planning process is part of the Central City Plan, which is part of the longer term Comprehensive Plan. Each of these plans are required by State law and need to be updated every 20 to 25 years. Now that the transportation component of the Quadrant plan is ending, the land use component will wrap up over the summer. This will only cover Eliot land use issues in Lower Albina and along Broadway. The rest of Eliot (and the City) will be covered in the Comp Plan, due in two years.
Dawson Park Summer Events
It will be another busy summer of great family friendly events in Dawson Park this year! The Dawson Park Concert Committee, made up of a few Eliot Neighborhood Association board members, a concert loving resident, and a couple employees from Portland Parks & Recreation, have raised enough sponsorships from our local businesses to host 4 concerts and a movie this summer! These are free to the public and are wonderful events taking place in our own neighborhood. Bring your family, your friends, your dog (on a leash please) a blanket or low “beach” chairs, and your picnic basket.

Crime Blotter – Summer 2012
By Ofc Peter Helzer
Hello, all. It looks like the nicer weather is joining us earlier than it did the last couple years. That’s great for all our outdoor activities, but brings a few perils as well. The news is good about warning everyone to block 2nd story windows at four inches so toddlers don’t open them and fall out. Putting a dowel in your 1st floor windows will allow you to get some airflow through the house without providing an easy way for burglars to get in while you are away. Try to secure them so that when the window is closed, they don’t fall out of the way and allow the window to be opened from there.
Finally, a Sports Bar
Gone are the days when going to a sports bar meant visiting a smoke filled, dingy bar with greasy food. Now there is a choice when you want to join fellow fans or rivals for a fun spirited couple of hours cheering on your favorite team. In the last few years several “new generation” sports bars have popped up around town, but none here in Eliot until now.

Dawson Park Concerts 2012
Dawson Park will host four free concerts this summer! The gazebo will be the stage for the live performances. Concerts begin at 6:30 PM and last about 2 hours. Best of all, the concerts are free!
Good in the Neighborhood Parade
The Good in the Hood parade paraded through Eliot on it’s way to the Good in the Hood Multicultural Music & Food Festival. A little bit of rain on the parade did not stop the march through the neighborhood. “What rain?” said a parade goer.
Fireworks Safety
Fireworks during the Fourth of July are as American as apple-pie, but did you know that more fires are reported on that day than on any other day of the year in the United States? Nearly half of these fires are caused by fireworks. The good news is you can enjoy your holiday and the fireworks, with just a few simple safety tips.
