My love letter to Hillsdale
I don’t know how many of you love your neighborhoods. I mean, like, love it enough to write a love letter to it on your blog. But I really do love my neighborhood that much.
Eric and I moved to Hillsdale in the spring, and here’s what I love about it: it’s tiny, and even people who live in Portland sometimes don’t know where it is. We have the best farmer’s market ever (these photos are from last weekend’s array of fall produce) and it’s open year-round, which is pretty amazing. We can walk everywhere, Baker & Spice is my favorite place on earth (and also the best bakery in Portland, hands down) and everyone seems to be a retired librarian, driving Volvos from the late 1970s and smiling at each other on the sidewalk.
Every Sunday, we go to the Farmer’s Market. Eric hasn’t missed a week, even though I’ve had to miss a few because of weddings this summer. We usually have a bagel sandwich from Tastebud, which is also phenomenal. Eric usually gets the lox, but I’m a fan of the seasonal — first it was peach during the summer, now pumpkin or pear (above). Delicious.
Do you love your neighborhood?

Hi Sara!
Although we haven’t met each other, we have a common thread. I’m Jeff Rosick’s girlfriend and I’ve heard lots about you. I just had to tell you I take a look at your website quite often and truly love looking at your photos. You are incredibly talented! Thank you for keeping me entertained

Hillsdale is a wonderful little community indeed. Used to live there, now live all of 3 miles away. Other people can have the bustle of the Pearl or Hawthorne; Give me Hillsdale any day!
