Bah Humbug Tigard! My wife and son went out last night to buy a Christmas tree for a local tree lot. When they got home, with a tree, they said the City of Tigard was forcing the tree lot to move. This incident even made today's Oregonian, as reported by Bill Oram. The City of Tigard said that Larry's Custom Christmas Trees was operating an outdoor business in a residential zone, and had to shut down right away. The City was investigating a complaint about a tree lot in the Washington Square area and was driving by Larry Knudsen's business. Larry has received, in past years, assurances from the City of Tigard that he could operate there. I'm sure the Code Enforcement Officer has driven by there many times over the last 3 years. The tree lot, located on Hall Blvd. near the intersection o... 12/12/2009

Metzger Park: National Night Out The National Night Out was well attended by Metzger neighborhood families. This national event is designed to improve safety in neighborhoods by introducing firefighters, law enforcement, parametics and neighbors to each other. This was a family freindly event that had free ice creram, cookies, and punch provided by local businesses. The fire truck was a big hit with the kids and "McGruff the Crime Dog" was making friends. A good time was had by all at Metzger Park. Wayne B. Pruner is a Realtor® at Oregon First, who works in the Portland and Tigard, Oregon area. Wayne is also a licensed Oregon contractor.

Tigard Homes for Sale: Metzger Market ReportBy Wayne B. Prunerhttp://www.yourhomeinportlandoregon.com/ Wayne's Portland Oregon Real Estate blogwww.activerain.com/wayneprunerAs of Jan.1, 2008, first time home buyers do not have many choices for housing in the Metzger neighborhood. My usual criteria for most first time home buyers is a house less than $300,000, which ideally would make their house payment less than $2000.00 per month. The idea is to find any suitable home you can afford and then trade up after a few years when you have some equity.I've done a computer search and there are 3 condos and 2 detached (houses) homes for sale in Metzger. Both houses seem to be ideal for first time home buyers and one of the condos was priced at $115,000, (2 bedroom, 1 bath, 776 square feet), whi... 01/01/2008
