Alberta Street DaytimeWalking Tour with Sharon Koskoff
COVID Changes Daytime Alberta Street
The COVID CLOSED locally owned Shoppes on Alberta Street used the time to reinvent their business. PRE-COVID the Shoppe Owners and Staff were too busy providing excellent in person service to CUSTOMERS to plan.
During COVID QUARANTINE, there was still PAYROLL and FIXED COSTS (Rent, utilities, etc.), no REVENUE from SALES to pay the bills.
What to do?
Create a better, more efficient online store. CUSTOMERS already TRUST and LOVE you.
Establish Shopping Guidelines. For IN STORE, CURBSIDE and MAIL.
Amazon, Etsy, etc. created DELIVERY ON DEMAND.
Small Shoppes can CAPITALIZE on DELIVERY ON DEMAND and eliminate MIDDLEMEN (Amazon, Etsy, etc.).
Check out collage, the Alberta Coop and Modern Domestic for a Roadmap to Success.

1500 NE Alberta St.Portland, OR 97211 | "Alberta Cooperative Grocery is a community-owned, worker-run grocery store serving North and Northeast Portland since 2001. We’re all about local food, ethical standards, and cats with sunglasses!"
Alberta Coop | 1500 NE Alberta St. Portland, OR 97211 | "We all have childhood memories of parents, teachers and others encouraging us to work together. A co-op is what “working together” looks like all grown up. From the outside, many co-ops look like any other business, since a co-op provides products and servces like conventional businesses do. But it’s what goes on behind the scenes that makes it different.A cooperative exists to serve its members, but what makes co-ops unique is that the members are also the owners. So, in addition to getting the products and services you need, you also have a say in the business decisions your cooperative makes."

The sculpture honors the majestic beaver that once abundantly inhabited and thrived in this area. The beaver - called Ina (Elena) by the Chinook - faces the rising sun looking for a day when humans and nature harmonize.

Aaron Voronoff Trotter | Illustrated Playing Cards | Originally, I started drawing Portland scenes to be made into greeting cards, postcards, calendars and coloring books. Eventually, I had sketched over 200 landmarks and neighborhood places and decided I needed a new way to showcase these illustrations. I thought of playing cards because they easily showcase 54 images (jokers too) and lend themselves to being tangible and accessible art, both in touch and price.
