Answers Kenner hopes to have a better handle on by mid-May. The World Series is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. More pressing is finding a way to get leagues across the United States and the world back on the field after the pandemic forced the cancellation of some seasons and the postponement of others in 2020.

This week’s announcement of the permanent closure of the Alpenrose Velodrome and events space is the latest chapter in the slow closure of a much-loved Portland institution.
The Southwest Portland dairy, which was sold after a family rift in 2019 by the Cadonau family that founded it in 1916, has been a fixture in the community for more than 100 years.
Since the sale, the dairy has continued to operate but the social aspect of the dairy has been sidelined, with different parts of the complex slowly being closed.
