Foxchase Tavern Set to Open in NE Portland
Formerly known as Take Two/Toyshop Ramen, the new establishment will be called Foxchase Tavern, located along NE Killingsworth. Recent chatter and a liquor license application have revealed that this name pays homage to the historical Foxchase Addition, a subdivision created in 1889.
Significance of the Name
