New Carts, Nong's Saturday and News
False spring hit the Rose City this past weekend and the carts sold out. Almost everyone I spoke with were overwhelmed on Friday and Saturday with the wonderful weather. While frustrating for some who couldn't get a burger or noodles, the vendors were ecstatic and wish it could happen every weekend in winter. Here are some news bites.

New Carts:
  • Okinoshima - Japanese - SW 3rd and Stark
  • Iraqi Kitchen - SW 2nd and Oak
  • Traditional Russian Cuisine - Cartlandia @ SE 82nd and Harney
