Here are some of the stories that grabbed our readers’ attention this weekend.
According to Little Conejo co-owner Mychal Dynes, “We all have had a taco that has changed our life.”
I can’t promise that the tacos at Little Conejo will change your life, but I can say that all the other tacos that you thought were good will seem sadly lacking.
My husband put it this way: “These are the best tacos I have ever had.”
All this culinary bliss may sound wonderful, but I wonder if it’s a good thing to find the Holy Grail of tacos. Will the world just become a dismal place filled with inferior tacos? These philosophical questions seem like a waste of time when you could be sipping handmade mezcal and eating a round of revelatory tacos at Little Conejo.
One week ago, National Football League stadiums were epicenters on one of the nation’s biggest fault-lines.
Friday, tremors involving race relations and respect for one of the nation’s most cherished symbols rippled across McKenzie Stadium.
As The Star Spangled Banner was sung, five players on the Evergreen High School football team kneeled.
On the other sideline, at least three players on the Prairie High School team kept their fists aloft during the anthem.
Like dozens of NFL players who did so last Sunday, those high school players at McKenzie viewed their protest as a repudiation of racial inequality, police brutality and comments by President Donald Trump, who called players who protest during the anthem “sons of b——.”
Ridgefield is asking that two controversial highway markers south of the city be taken off the Clark County Heritage Register.
The city council made the request Thursday, in advance of Tuesday’s meeting of the Clark County Historic Preservation Commission. A 6:05 p.m. public hearing has been scheduled in Vancouver City Hall to consider removing the Jefferson Davis Highway markers from the heritage register.
After being moved around Clark County several times over the years, the markers now reside on private property at 24024 N.W. Maplecrest Road, a few yards west of Interstate 5.
Du’s Teriyaki, located just north of Evergreen Boulevard on Grand Avenue, serves up teriyaki noodles, rice and a few American options six days a week for dining in or take out. The restaurant boasts that it serves “the best grilled teriyaki in town.” It is certainly among the aged restaurants in Clark County, and you sort of feel like you may have stumbled upon a good find in an unlikely place when you sit down for a meal in its humble dining room.
Port of Vancouver Commission District 1 candidates Don Orange and Kris Greene expounded on and, in some cases, defended their politics during a meeting with The Columbian’s editorial board on Friday.
The closely scrutinized race is seen by some in the community as a referendum on the fate of the Vancouver Energy oil terminal, the controversial crude-by-rail terminal proposed at the port that would be capable of processing about 360,000 barrels of oil per day.
The state Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council is examining the project and will make a recommendation to the governor whether the project should be built. Gov. Jay Inslee will make the ultimate determination whether it will or not. However, the port and Vancouver Energy are in a lease that automatically renews every three months and can be canceled by either party so long as enough notice is given.
