n Ann organized a girl's night out starting with happy hour and dinner at a neighborhood dive on Burnside "East Burn". It looks like a hole in the wall until you look at the happy hour menu and find a spinach salad with fresh pears and pine nuts for $5 and crepes filled with fresh mushrooms, fresh vegetables and chicken. Cocktails were only $5 including a Maker's Mark whiskey sour and a lemon drop so we had a leisurely time at the cafe before walking a few blocks to the Triangle Theater.
The theater is a small neighborhood theater that tonight featured a play "Gracie" that was written and produced by a local writer about Gracie Hansen. She ran a nightclub in Portland in the mid 1960s that featured beautiful women, comedians, singers and other entertainment (some risque). She was a colorful and interesting woman who later ran for Oregon State Governor (no, she didn't get elected) but she added a lot of color to the politics of that era. Pictured above are Ann, Allison and Cheryl.
