Cappuccino of the Week
Last week your “Best Cappuccino” chasing Portland Realtor was preparing one of our new Pearl District listings (1410 NW Kearney St., Unit 910, THE EDGE LOFTS) and decided to stop by Stumptown Coffee Roasters on SW 3rd. Okay, it isn’t in the Pearl District, but I figured any excuse to have coffee at Stumptown is worth taking.
Now on to the coffee: Awesome presentation. The style appears to be cappuccino chiaro (white cappuccino, also known as a wet cappuccino). The foam wasn’t nearly as creamy as Costellos. But upon breaking thru the top layer your palette is pleasantly welcomed by a very honest and intense espresso flavor. You feel as though you mouth is bathing in a coffee bean puree, and it feels good! Okay, this review sounds really flowering I know. But I think I have found a tie for Costello’s cappuccino.
A Sign of the Times
Unemployment is sky high now-a-days and getting a plain ol’ part-time receptionist job will have you competing with hundreds of other applicants. What can you do to stand out from a crowd of overqualified job-seekers? Now is the time to get a little creative and get people to remember you. It’s common knowledge that you tend to get a job through who you know. Nick Willard decided he needed to expand his network and get his face out there. He stood at the freeway exit and handed out his resume and cover letter to those who showed interest. With a family at home to support he thought it was time for potential employees to see Nick, not just a piece of paper. Those who overcome in tough times are those who don’t sit at home feeling sorry for themselves.
