I am hoping to add to the Oregon history areas during winter break. Maybe spend some time at the archives and put together a few bios, plus I'm thinking the Champoeg meeting needs its own page. Plus, being at Willamette maybe I'll try to add to the Willamette University College of Law page.

Until then I will continue to fight for the recognition that OGI, now OHSU West Campus, is within the city of Hillsboro, Oregon. I know the address says Beaverton, but the USPS does not make city boundries. If that were the case there would be a city of Aloha, and there is no such city in Oregon. They have a post office, and a high school (part of the Beaverton SD), but that's it. That is what is called unincorporated Washington County, the area Beaverton wants to annex. The post office determines zip codes, not city boundries. That's why some areas are in Beaverton, but have Portland addresses. That's why some places have Tigard addresses, but are not in the city limits. According to OHSU it is in Hillsboro. According to maps on the City of Beaverton's web site it is in Hillsboro. According to maps by the county it is in Hillsboro. And if you were on campus there and called 911, Hillsboro police would show up (actually the sheriff might show up if they are closer). But most of that area including the old Tanasbourne mall (where Target/Nordstrom Rack) was annexed by Hillsboro back in the late 1980s. I know, I lived near there at that time and thought it was odd that Hillsboro would want all that undeveloped land. Turned out pretty good for them.
