Active Culture
Two months after the low-car diet ended, I can honestly say it rocked my world. Sure, I'm driving my car now and again for long trips. But mostly, I walk. I meander, discovering new shops, restaurants and neighborhoods I didn't know existed when I was worrying about racing through a yellow stoplight and changing my radio station at the same time.
So this afternoon - this amazingly beautiful fall afternoon - I used my break to walk down to a place I'd discovered on a previous walk, Active Culture. It's a locally-owned frozen yogurt place in the Grand Central Bowling Building on 8th between SE Belmont and Morrison. AND, let me tell you that this yogurt isn't the tasteless, bland, wanna-be ice cream you remember from that brief fro-yo bubble in the 80's.
This is frozen yogurt that is unafraid to be yogurt. It's tart. It's sweet. It's non-fat and swimming with active probiotic cultures. It has to be tried to be believed. The only thing wrong with the place is that it's not in Jeff's District! This time, I got the plain tart/black cherry swirl with gummi bears (Yeah, gummi bears!). I also tried their seasonal Pumpkin Spice and WOW, it was a wee bit o' heaven.
That's all for today's District 2 local business report. If you know of another great local business someone in our office should walk to, send an email to marissa.d.madrigal @ co.multnomah.or.us
Go outside!
