Portlanders Are Making A Lot Of Noise To Thank Healthcare Workers!

At dusk, some Portland neighborhoods are filled with the sound of applause, clanging pans and barking dogs, as people step onto their porches to thank health care workers.

The noise comes at the request of Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, who called for a minute of cheering each night at 7 pm for nurses, doctors, firefighters and grocery clerks who are risking COVID-19 to perform necessary jobs.
