Tabor -- The great thing about blogging is it opens up the whole world to us. G+ photos are a great place also to view the world. --- thanks -- barbara
Barb -- Not as far as I know -- there seem to be a lot of young men and women hanging around restaurants-- outside at tables -- that seem quite slender -- must be due to all that bike riding I see in Portland! -- thanks -- barbara
John -- Not sure of their menu selections as I didn't enter the cafe. I just was taken by the sign's hookey-ness.Really like signs that express a salt of the earth feeling. thanks for the comment -- barbara
I am so out of the loop -- did not realize there was going to be a full solar eclipse in 2017. I will have to find out more info on this. Glad you liked the sign -- thanks -- barbara
Carole Anne -- Oh so nice to hear from you. I have been a bit remiss on keeping up with blogs. Glad you like the sign. I will certainly get over to read your blogs that I have missed -- thanks -- barbara
Rita -- It appeared active when I walked by it -- a small home town looking place Maybe next time I am over there I will peek inside for a cup of coffee. Not much on standard western food but maybe they serve some healthy food too? thanks for the comment -- barbara
Diane -- well it is a neighborhood community located in the far southwestern part of Portland. It seems like a small town to me but it is not. But how about being the mayor of Portland! -- thanks for the comment -- barbara
Hi Barbara, Google took over the site where I stored my photographs and we in the UK needed to link the blog to Google+ I think to keep them, but I didn't want to do that. So I lost the photos. There were 400 deleted, haven't the time to replace them. Very wicked, they deleted the heading on my blog that a blog designer put together and I paid for. Never mind, a new beginning. Thanks so much for your visit.
Carole Anne -- I know that Google has been changing the way of running its sites. This has been a bone of contention with some folks. I cannot believe what they did to your site. Are they getting a bit pushy? It's not like they don't make enough money. You lost some valuable photos and a nice header as a result! Hmmm. -- barbara
In spite of my wife disbelieving nature, I was recently given some support from a well founded research study that in spite of the prevailing view...... fat is good for you. Its the carbs that do you in. I like pigs....:)
troutbirder -- did your study mention what kind of fats are good for you? Of course trans fats are bad but I do believe that saturated and mono fats are good for you. Carbs are bad if they are processed (any processed is a no-no) but we do need some carbs -- this is according to what I have read -- I am not a nutritionist but I do try to eat healthy foods. I guess to eat in moderation is the best but I have to admit that some days that can be difficult. I like pigs too -- they're smart! thanks -- barbara
Love seeing that side of the world through your eyes.

DeleteI hope Fat City Cafe prospers and is well.
ReplyDeleteJoanne -- I didn't step in as I thought I might gain some (more) weight -- it seems to be a fairly established place in town -- thanks -- barbara
DeleteSo, is Portland known as Fat City, or did these good folks just take liberties?
ReplyDeleteBarb -- Not as far as I know -- there seem to be a lot of young men and women hanging around restaurants-- outside at tables -- that seem quite slender -- must be due to all that bike riding I see in Portland! -- thanks -- barbara
DeleteDoesn't feature in The Guide To Healthy And Stylish Eating. Much to the detriment of the healthy and stylish.

DeleteI am going to Oregon in 2017 to see the full solar eclipse. Now I have something else to see. This sign! I love it!

DeleteWow. I don't want to miss that, should I still be around! Hope it's a sunny day!
DeleteSimple things made magical!

DeleteAnd, I love the colors too! Is it still an active café? Reminds me of the catchy Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras...

DeleteIf that is a city, I want to become their mayor! Great photo (as usual)

DeleteA very nice one - but perhaps not the place to eat if you are on a diet? :-)
ReplyDeleteRuneE -- The name does suggest a diet that will make one fat -- but maybe it is just a fun name to the owner??? -- thanks -- barbara
