A neighbor posted the news on Facebook: Dick’s Primal Burger on NE Cully Blvd is closing in 2-3 weeks. They’ll be heading west over to hip N Williams Avenue to open their new location. Bummer for us in central NE; total score for North Portland. Dick’s opened about a year and a half ago in Cully.

The Red Gate Has Closed in Portland

The Red Gate in Portland, Oregon. — *The Red Gate was located in what resembles an old Portland Foursquare house. The previous tenant was a hair salon.*

For a number of months, neighbors have wondered what is up with The Red Gate, a much-beloved cafe/teahouse on NE Fremont in the Roseway neighborhood that has been closed for some time. Starting in September 2018, they served up espresso drinks, bubble tea, jianbings, and avocado toast, among other things; it was an interesting mix in a nice space. A reliable source has informed me, unfortunately, that they are truly and officially closed and will not be returning.

Yesterday a neighbor posted on Facebook that the Basics Market on NE Sandy Blvd in the Hollywood District is closing, much to the dismay of folks in the area. I’ve heard a lot of praise for Basics, especially about their meats, so it’s a real bummer to see it close and leave a sizable storefront empty. The last day of business is Saturday, January 22.

Assembling the End of the Story for Beeswing

I miss Beeswing’s Cully porch and their delicious dutch baby, among other things. Sadly, I never made it to their Sellwood location (thanks, COVID).

One story I found popping into my brain from time to time this past year was about Beeswing, the formerly boss brunch spot in Cully that closed down and moved to Sellwood in 2019 (opening February 1, 2020). I’ve been wondering what happened to them, so I did a bunch of internet research and came up with what seems like a sotto voce ending to the story.
