Sheila Baraga: Making a(nother) new beautiful place / CC #220

Welcome back to OMN’s Coffeeshop Conversations @ Artichoke Music, in the cafe which as you know is located at 2007 SE Powell Boulevard in Portland. This time we’re with someone who has made beautiful cafes and clubs in Portland for over twenty years. If you were ever in The Green Room, The Empire Room, Saffire Hotel, or Maiden in the Mist, you’ve been in one of her places. She has a new café called The Emerald Line in Northwest Portland. It just opened and she’s waist-deep in getting it off the ground. It’s a very interesting time to talk to Sheila Baraga and find out about all those places she created and what you’ll find at her new one. I was doing a radio talk show in 1998 when I had her on as a guest…and that’s a story.
