Um, it just dawned on us: Foster is the Portland equivalent to the North Pole’s “Island of Misfit Toys.”

As such, get your holidays on Foster-style. Bars and toy stores, banh mi and bagels, tattoos and game stores, tweakers, Twiggy the secular holiday tree, hipsters, strippers and artists, pot shops, brunch, the young and old, food from all corners of the globe, festive, not-so-festive, and all the glory in between.

Just how we like it.

We hope you all enjoy the holiday weekend, surrounded by loved ones and good vibes. We wish you a strong finish to the year, and a happy and healthy start to 2017.

Catch you in January, y’all.
