Here's a map below of our neighborhood in context to Oswego Lake and downtown Lake Oswego
Along State Street the shopping center has wonderful places we can walk to:
Nicoletta's Restaurant - read our blog post about Nicoletta's and why it's a favorite restaurant in LO and with neighbors in Old Town.
Schmidt Eye Care - Dr. Kimberly Schmidt is our eye doctor and while we share the same last name, she is not a relative. We give her a 5 star review for how thorough and nice she is and for her selection and her staff who fit glasses. Learn more about her on her bio on her website. Tell her Derrith & Michael Schmidt sent you.
Trainer's Club - a locally owned gym that also offers therapeutic massage (you don't have to be a club member for that), personal training, senior fitness, and a registered dietician for consulting services. Many of our Old Town Neighbors are Trainer's Club members. Trainer's Club business partners also include a physical therapist, a chiropractor and Lake Oswego Pilates studio.
Pigments - a wonderful locally owned women's clothing boutique that also sells adorable clothes and gifts for kids/grandkids too. Read our blog post about Judy and her store
The UPS Store - we love walking up there! The people who work there are so nice.
Tailor & Alteration Specialty shop - locally owned. They altered my wedding dress. They don't have a website so drop by or call them at 503-636-3454.
Lake Oswego Jewelers - Family-run jeweler. We bought my engagement ring from them!
Taqueria la Marquesa - a very popular and highly rated (4.8 on Google Reviews) Mexican "food cart" type of place with food to go or a few tables to eat in. Call to order pick-up at 917-313-2245.
A new place: Blackbird Indoor Golf - we haven't been yet but a neighbor has and says it's locally owned and a fun place to play "virtual golf" in a bar setting. 5 star reviews on Google from 249 people. They have leagues, lessons and say, "Guests will enjoy a relaxed and welcoming environment including dedicated play on state-of-the-art equipment and a variety of beverages and snacks to savor while watching their favorite sporting events."
