Cafe "especially" encourages bike commuters
[Want ad encourages bike commuters.]
In what is becoming something of a regular feature, here’s yet another Portland business doing its part to encourage two-wheeled transportation.
Laughing Planet Cafe, a much loved local food joint with three Portland locations, is expanding into Woodstock in March and needs more help.
I noticed this want ad on the door of their Mississippi Street location today. At the end of the job description it reads,
“Bike commuters are especially encouraged to apply.”
