Video: Mayor Sam Adams’ State of the City Speech. Delivered March 2, 2012 at the Governor Hotel. For a full text transcript of the speech: www.portlandonline.com

We walked through the restaurant/shopping district of Ikebukuro at night. Every where you go there is someone trying to give you a flyer and there are always people trying to get you to come in their restaurant or shop. I like to joke with them when they are handing out the flyers and express extreme happiness. Its fun.
