TRIMET discontinued Friday & Saturday evening service, so these rides are on ice.
It was fun while it lasted! --jm/df.
A Summer Solstice Dinner Outing!
The last CVNA Organized Ride™ was a dinner excursion on Saturday evening, June 23th, 2007. We had six folks from Collins View, and we were joined by 3 folks from Hillsdale, including the "Mayor of Hillsdale", Don Baack, Arnie and Barbara.
Here is how that ride was described before the event, with a few comments added afterwards.
Otto and Anita's is a charming Bavarian restaurant where the food is cooked from scratch. You can enjoy their famous Dill Pickle Soup and a salad, or go for a special dinner. Ja! They also make pastries for dessert and to take home.
Catch the #39 that leaves the college at 5:23 PM as it comes past your selected stop.
Be prepared to put $1.70 in the fare box, and accept the transfer from the driver. There will be people on the bus that can lead you the rest of the way. This is all you need to know.
Details Of The Trip
We'll all get off #39 in Hillsdale at Noah's Bagels around 5:35 pm.
We may see a #44 whiz by at that time (5:36), but we aren't aiming for it. (We did see it whiz by.)
We'll leisurely:
- Walk west on Capitol past the Headwaters housing project.
- Walk by and check out the menu at Alba Osteria.
- Go into Capitol Coffee House to see what it would be like for our July excursion.
- Board #44 across from the coffeehouse around 6:08pm, arriving in Multnomah Village at 6:13.
- We should have plenty of time to enjoy dinner before the enjoy dinner till 7:39 then #44 will come by to take us back to Hillsdale. (Actually, we evidently misread or trimet changed the #44 schedule. We had time to wander down to Annie Blooms for some browsing and made some purchases before catching the #44 in the Village.)
- According to schedules, we'll have one minute till the #39 comes by at 7:45 and takes us back to Collins View by 8:00. (The #39 came right a long and we hopped on).
Sehen sie auf dem bus!
