In just a few years, the 1905 has become a hub for Portland jazz. Initially intended to be an upscale pizzeria, the small, swanky space now boasts a generation-spanning local jazz schedule. Veteran drummer Ron Steen helms a jam every Monday: On weekends, you're likely to catch up-and-coming musicians playing music that's wonderfully weird. Its crispy artisan pizzas are just as worthwhile.

Willamette Week reports the stories worth knowing, from City Hall to the people and places shaping Portland.
