Jake NewmanI’m Jake. I live in Portland and write The Portland Logbook—part local guide, part open notebook.
I come from the worlds of food, photography, and branding—all industries built on paying close attention. Now I use that same instinct to help you find what’s worth your time in a city that’s always shifting.
I don’t pretend to know everything. I just keep a running list, listen more than I talk, and share what feels real, interesting, or quietly essential. If you care about this place—or want to—I think you’ll feel at home here.
