Downtown Portland

I wanted to address the concerns some people may have about coming downtown where our new space is. There’s been a lot of negative talk about our beautiful city in the past few months. While our city may be hurting like a few other big cities, it’s not as bad as some people make it out to be. I’ve had my store, The Fossil Cartel downtown for 33 years. I’ve seen a lot of changes. In all of those 33 years, I have never been harassed or had any bad thing happen to me. I want to assure you it is safe, but at the same time encourage you to have your wits about you as you would in any big city. 



There is street parking often right in front of the space or at least on the same block. There is also a Smart Park Garage right next door. The cost of street parking is $2/hr., but only from 8am-7pm Mon.-Sat. and 1pm-7pm on Sunday. Our circles start at 7:00pm normally, so street parking will be free.


I always pictured a Moondays Red Tent space in more of an old residential area. Perhaps some day it will be. For now, we are taking advantage of the free space that has been offered to us. It’s a great opportunity to experiment with our model and work things out. There are advantages to being downtown: it’s a central location, there are great restaurants, shops, cafes, clubs, shows, markets, etc. nearby. You can make a whole day out of coming downtown for a Red Tent! Downtown needs our love. The more people come back downtown, the faster things will improve.


I welcome your comments or concerns before, during, and after this upcoming Red Tent on May 27th about this subject. I want everyone to feel safe and free to let go into a nourishing evening of sisterhood and community, so please always keep us informed about how we can best support that. We look forward to seeing your beautiful faces soon!
