A Tolkien and Lewis themed co-working space by work day, and by night and weekends- a gathering space, cafe and bookstore for the benefit of the community.
Why?
Well, the problem is three-fold:
One. No consistent ‘home’ for the influx of remote workers in the southwest region of the Portland metro area.
Two. Lack of venues to support meetings, groups, and various artistic endeavors in an area thick with such artisans and thinkers.
