Best of Portland is our excuse to write about all those things we otherwise have no excuse to write about. For you, we hope, it’s a spotlight on amusing and strangely captivating things you’ve never noticed. No matter how long you’ve lived in this exceptional corner of the world, no matter how hard you’ve worked to keep up, here you will learn something you never knew existed.

But a few things we wrote about are best experienced, not merely read about. Like Brian Lacy, our best beekeeper, on video below. Read more about him here, or catch up with the best toilet, unicycle gang, marijuana strain, and 40 others.
