EAST PORTLAND TABLETOP ARCADE

My neighborhood library, the Midland branch at SE 122nd and Morrison, recently completed a lengthy renovation, and I've begun organizing a board game meetup in the new community meeting rooms on the first Sunday of each month. These rooms are explicitly for community use and open to the public, so I'm hoping for a pretty friendly, relaxed gathering. So far there's been a mix of interest in shorter/lighter games and longer, more involved games, and we've been able to organize pretty organically without anyone having to wait too long. Still, if you're interested in something longer or more complex, I'd suggest arriving at the beginning so we can get that going from the jump.

The library itself is quite nice, especially after its recent facelift, and is just a couple minutes' walk from the 20-Burnside bus and a maybe a five or ten minute walk from the 122nd Ave Blue Line MAX stop. As far as food options, Bridge City Taproom is right across the street, there's Just Tea about a block away, and Los Francos Food Truck, Don Pedro, Victorico's, Gold Garden (Chinese), and Sisters (Ethiopian) all within a few blocks.

I hope we'll see you there!
