Stopped by Porsche Studio in NW Portland yesterday and after 2+ years it looks as good as ever! It was nice to see customers socializing in the library and taking advantage of the espresso bar. Also, there was a fantastic 1956 Porsche 356 A on display, built at the Stuttgart factory for racing!

1/2 I’m saddened to learn that Sonny Curtis, the great songwriter and musical partner of Buddy Holly & The Crickets passed away today. He was one of the original rockers.
