My weekend

Dear readers,

Exciting news; I went on my first official People to People trip, and learned some interesting facts about Pioneer Square in Portland.

One of them was about the little water four sided water fountains you see on the streets. They are called Benson Bubblers. The reason Benson created the bubblers, is because the only place you could get water is at a bar. When you got water at the bar, you had to buy alcohol at the same time. Back then, there were a lot of trees, being loaded on boats. No one wanted to be part of the crew on any of those boats, but the captain needed a crew. So, the owners of the bar drugged the people who came to get water, making them sleep for 48 hours. They would then, drag them on the boats, through underground tunnels. Since they were normally on a trip to Shang Hai this was commonly known as being Shang Hai'ed

On Saturday, I went to an even called Doggie Dash. In this event you could get a free pancake breakfast, have a chance at winning prizes, and go on a walk. I took my Aunt and her dog and my Grandma and Grandpa and their dog. This was partly for the Humane Society and K103 hosted it.


Question of the day: Do you know why there is so much art in Pioneer Square?
