The Roseland TheaterANOTHER BELIEVER VIA WIKI COMMONS

NOT OK: This week we received letters from both a concerned parent and an underage concert attendee about inappropriate and nonconsensual groping at a show.

MONDAY:

SEXUAL ASSAULT:DNA from 33 backlogged and never before tested rape kits has been matched with known offenders after the state legislature passed a law mandating that Oregon's backlog of unprocessed rape kits finally be tested.

TUESDAY:

DIRK VANDERHART

CAUSE FOR CONCERN?: City Auditor: "Please delay this police contract."
Mayor Charlie Hales: " NOPE!"

WEDNESDAY:

Those guys aren't usually standing there. DIRK VANDERHART

SHUT DOWN: City Hall was partly—then completely—locked down after drama over a police union contract.

Holding pattern at City Hall. Activists still in closed off chambers. No one seems to know what's happening. And I am hungry.

NETFLIX MARKETING PLOY: We went to Luke's Diner from Gilmore Girls! (Or tired to anyway.)
