Historic Albina Dome Refurbished
Harold Two July 18th, 2008
The Portland Observer reports on the refurbishing of the historic Albina Dome.
Area residents are invited to celebrate the rededication of the Dawson Park Gazebo during a community concert featuring local musician Patrick Lamb on Wednesday, July 16 from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
The park is located on the corner of North Stanton Street and North Vancouver Avenue.
The beautiful dome and brick flooring of the Dawson Park Gazebo were salvaged from the Hill Building, last located on North Russell Street during the early 1970s in the last days of a significant business district for the African American community before displacement by the expansion of Emanuel Hospital.
The dome was placed in Dawson Park in 1978. The Hill Building was built in 1890 and was once the cornerstone of the former city of Albina. The Dawson Park Gazebo serves as a reminder of the Albina of yesterday.
The Portland Development Commission financed all the gazebo’s renovation and improvements using tax increment proceeds from the Interstate Corridor Urban Renewal Area.
The renovated gazebo enhances and protects the historic dome and brings focus to the cultural significance of the dome.
All of the renovation was carefully planned with Portland Parks & Recreation; the Albina Rotary and Eliot Neighborhood Association community partners; who have encouraged and supported the renovation of the gazebo.
In the accompanying photograph, Harold Williams Sr. joins Serena Stoudamire, Albina Rotary president, at the Dawson Park Gazebo rededication.

Why am I running for Portland City Commissioner position (2)?
Harold Two April 7th, 2008
I’m Harold C. Williams Two, a candidate for Portland City Commissioner position (2). Born and raised in the greatest city in the world: Portland, Oregon. I graduated from the school of champions, Thomas Jefferson High school in 1995. I received my BS in Early Childhood Development from Appalachian State University located in Boone, North Carolina. Currently I am President of CH2A & Associate Inc., a management consultant firm, vice chair of the Success Academy, a non-profit that serves low-income and at risk youth, and Board chair of PDX Confidential, a business professional organization.
I am also running for city commissioner of Portland to give a voice to small business, to the tax payer who believes they are not being heard, and to expose our children to our city government, its processes and its opportunities. We lose our young talent to other cities and states because many young people do not know what opportunities are available here in the city of Portland. “Imagine Portland without street signs. Imagine Portland with houses without address numbers. Outside of your neighborhood, you wouldn’t know how to get around. “Portland has phenomenal resources, services and opportunities; but very few people know how to access them.” My plan is to map out Portland city government and its services. This map will be simple and clear to understand.
I stand for access, accountability, communication, education and promoting the relationships between city government and the citizens of Portland. We must remove the things that divide and embrace the things that unite.
Now, to that opening question…why am I running for Portland City Commissioner position (2)?
She is the reason.
“For what we do today our children will hold us responsible tomorrow…”

The Running Man
Harold Two March 19th, 2008
Hello Portland this is Harold C. Williams Two, your candidate for Portland city council position (2) and I am “actually” running for office.
Check me out as I run, jog, walk and bike all throughout the streets of Portland in my black, white and neon-safety green outfit as I train for my run and bike to the top of the world. I will run from Corner Stone Plaza located in North Portland (2752 N. Williams Avenue) to Council Crest in Southwest and back to Corner Stone Plaza and then continue to bike to the top of Rocky Butte in Northeast Portland and Mt. Tabor in Southeast Portland, and finish on the steps of City Hall on May 20, 2008, the day of primary to show the citizens of Portland how hard I will work for you once in office to map Portland’s city government. Mind you I am a 285 pound man, “not only am I asking for your VOTE, but also your prayers; I have a feeling I will be needing all I can get.” To assist me in this quest I have sought out the fitness training services of Reggie Senegal of 1Vest and Anwar Washington of Pearl Private Fitness. My election night party will be hosted by DJ OG One at The Huddle (Sports Bars) located at 825 N. Killingworth St.
Running and biking Schedule:
- Monday: North Portland
- Tuesday: Northeast Portland
- Wednesday: Southeast Portland
- Thursday: Southwest Portland
- Friday: Northwest Portland
“As you can see Portland, I am willing to talk the talk, walk the walk, and run my race.”
