Tuesday Night Futsal Provides Weekly Street Soccer Games at King Elementary School
People from all walks gather at the futsal courts at King Elementary School (4906 NE 6th Ave.) every Tuesday night to play street soccer until the sun goes down. Organized by Street Soccer USA’s Portland chapter in partnership with Laundry PDX, a vintage teamwear store on Northeast Alberta Street, Tuesday Night Futsal (instagram.com/streetsoccerpdx) sessions run until the end of the summer. It’s five-on-five futsal (think basketball, but with your feet), and the team that wins gets to stay on the court and play again. It’s free to play or watch, and there are teams playing on two courts. The evenings have become heavily attended, with some nights seeing 30 to 40 people come out to play.
OSU study raises concerns about elevated lead levels from old telephone cables
Before telephone wires were coated in plastic, they were originally protected by a layer of lead. Lead-sheathed cables were largely phased out in the 1950s, but in Portland’s oldest neighborhoods, some of them still hang from utility poles. A recent study from Oregon State University tested lead levels in moss in some neighborhoods and found that lead levels are up to 600 times higher in places where the cables were once used than in other nearby areas. The findings raise concerns about whether the cables could lead to increased risk of lead exposure for residents of older neighborhoods.

Beaverton’s Dennis Connors has a unique story, but at the same time he doesn’t. The former Marine and war veteran has lingering effects from his time defending our country, and further effects from a stroke he suffered four years ago. But while still coping with the sadly common residuals from an experience many can’t relate, along with the tragic results of a compromising health scare, the 39-year-old has made the most of his circumstances, much of which he attributes to a sport that’s now taking...
Moment Is Devoted to Presenting Exciting Live Performances in Focused Spaces
If there are any positives to be found regarding the pandemic’s effects on live music, it might be a deeper appreciation for events that don’t take place in clubs and theaters. That’s especially true for performances by experimental artists Carl Stone or Alexandra Spence who make noise that doesn’t always fit well in spaces where the art comes second to alcohol sales.
