I’m writing this from my new office! This morning, Elly Blue and I moved into an office in inner southeast Portland. We’re in the ActivSpace building on SE 8th and Main (map here).
Our downstairs neighbor is none other than Black Sheep Bakery, home of the famous bike-thru window.
My office-mate, Elly Blue, is the wonder-woman behind the upcoming International Towards Carfree Cities Conference. You might also remember her as the author of some tremendous editorials on BikePortland (she’ll be writing more soon).
Leaving the home office is a bit sad. I’ll miss my two girls being so close. But there’s huge upside to working from the heart of the city. I’m much closer to all the bike action and it will be easier for me to get to stories and newsmakers.
And now I finally have my own mailbox! Go ahead, feel free to send me a note:
- Jonathan Maus
PedalTown Media, Inc. (that’s my official business name)
833 SE Main St., Box #402
Portland, OR 97215
It’s the first real office for both Elly and I. Yes, it’s very small (less than 10×10 ft) but it’s cheap, and we have big ideas.
Wish us luck on our adventure…

What\’s up with that chair? I was hoping to see a stationary bike for generating computer power.
Congratulations Jonathan! The BikePortland media empire takes its first steps into the wild!
Above Blacksheep Bakery? You lucky !@#$. 🙂 Seriously, congrats on getting the space. Well-deserved move for both you and Elly.
that\’s so cool! Congrats to both of you!
Awesome! So, will there be like, an interview booth and a lounge, and a water cooler to swap journalistic-y stories around?
Oh, wait – smaller than 10×10. Ok, scrap the booth. 😉
Seriously, congrats! All you really need for an office anyway is a desk, a phone, a lamp, a plug, and an Internet connection. Well, the mailbox is also a plus.
Congratulations Jonathan! That chair looks mighty uncomfy. There\’s lots of surplus office supply places around your digs.
Congratulations, Jonathan!
The girls will miss you, but they will be even happier when you get home now…
Howdy neighbor!
Note that ActivSpace is also conveniently located 1 block from the Lucky Lab, 2 blocks from the Recyclery, and 3 blocks from the spanking new Clever Cycles.
