Portland is Awesome is the newest group blog to hit the Portland blogging scene. The early response has been extremely positive. And, hopes are high that the blog will step up to fill a much-needed role in the local news scene---especially in regards to covering cultural aspects of the town. A role that has been noticeably vacant as other popular Portland group blogs have floundered.
Conceived and launched by Dawn Foster of Fast Wonder and Legion of Tech, Portland is Awesome aims to provide a showcase for Portland and its "awesomeness":
Portland is Awesome is a celebration of the many fun and interesting things in Portland, Oregon. Many of the Portland blogs just seemed too corporate, so I thought it would be cool to start a new group blog where people can blog about anything related to Portland.
