We are delighted to share this first new issue of The Baysider with you.

The Baysider was first published by the Bayside Neighborhood Association (BNA) in 2005 and continued publication through 2018. (You can find an archive of past issues on the BNA website.) Plans to restart The Baysider online began in early 2025, as the BNA began developing teams to spearhead a wide variety of new initiatives.

The Baysider features items of interest to the Bayside neighborhood and the broader Portland community.

We invite everyone who lives, works or plays in Bayside to send in submissions: opinion pieces, neighborhood news, reviews, interviews, historical trivia, photos, original fiction, art—you name it! Anything related to Bayside. Also please submit events for our community calendar, ads for local businesses, ideas for future issues, and spread the word.

We are also seeking volunteers to regularly help with writing and design. If that’s you, please email Rob Sylvain at: baysider@baysideportland.org.

Thank you to everyone—past and present—who has made The Baysider possible and who continues to make Bayside a special place. 

— Joey Brunelle & Rob Sylvain
