Portland Escape Room Hour To Midnight Featured on KGW8's Hello, Rose City!
Ed Wolf and Thomas Johnson, co-owners of the Portland, Oregon, premier escape room facility Hour To Midnight, were featured on KGW8's Hello, Rose City! on January 16, 2025. In the recent segment, Wolf and Johnson gave a glimpse inside their highly rated escape room facility, discussed their newest escape room, and answered burning questions.
Hour To Midnight has become a Portland, Oregon, staple for fun, exciting, and even scary adventures. Within its walls, guests find five daring escape rooms to choose from: The Pharoah's Lost Relic, The Assassin's Deadly Game, The Secrets of Nibiru, House of Darkness, and the newest release, Crypt of Shadows. In Crypt of Shadows, players become monster hunters as members of the Nox Venatores. In the storyline, players discover the demise of Arthur Holmwood and then set out to find the most powerful vampire to ever exist, Victor Bathory. This 60-minute escape room is designed for 4-6 players ages 16+ and is ideal for horror fans who want to get their adrenaline rushing.
'The room creators pay attention to detail and have a flare for the theatrical,' said a recent reviewer. 'Each room is well planned, and no two rooms feel the same. There are plenty of puzzles to solve in each scenario, making the rooms both challenging and engaging for everyone.'
On Hello, Rose City!, Wolf and Johnson were asked to explain what an escape room is for viewers who might not be familiar with the premise. 'You show up and are introduced to a storyline, and then you have a set time limit to work through puzzles and clues,' said the team.
According to them, escape rooms are ideal for work events, birthdays, and team building activities, as evidenced by a recent visit from the Portland Trail Blazers. The team enjoyed working together and, according to Wolf and Johnson, you could tell they were a cohesive team by how they collaborated.
In the segment, viewers got to see an inside view of a few of the facility's rooms, complete with props fit for a movie set. When players come to Hour To Midnight, they become immersed in a game that feels very real. With a handful of non-scary escape rooms and two horror rooms, there's truly something for everyone at Hour To Midnight.
Wolf and Johnson thank KGW8 for having them on. See the full segment on the KGW8 website, and learn more about Hour To Midnight by visiting www.hourtomidnight.com.

Kate Middleton's Gesture at Surprise Engagement Is Right Out of Princess Diana's Playbook
Kate Middleton often channels her late mother-in-law Princess Diana through her clothing—but also took a page from Diana's book at a July 2 royal engagement. On Wednesday, the current Princess of Wales declined wearing gloves while planting flowers in a well-being garden—making her relatable and not fussy. Before her, the former Princess of Wales also refused to wear gloves, specifically when meeting with members of the public so as to feel closer to a surprise engagement on July 2, Kate Middleton took a page right out of her late mother-in-law Princess Diana's royal playbook. While visiting Colchester Hospital last Wednesday, Kate not only opened up about her experiences with cancer treatment, but also got her hands dirty—literally—planting flowers named in her honor in the hospital's well-being garden. As the Princess of Wales planted 'Catherine's Rose,' she 'surprised onlookers when she refused to wear gloves,' Hello! reported. Sky News royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills was there, and told Hello! that the future queen was offered gloves but 'She didn't want gloves. She had filthy hands. My cameraman, who was there, kind of zoomed in on her filthy hands. He was like, 'Oh, is that appropriate or not?' And I was like, 'Yes, it's her getting her hands dirty.'' 'So while the palace keeps saying, 'We're going to have to all get used to that flexibility in terms of engagements she's doing,' I think, when she's there—they are fully in,' Mills added. Mills was also present not just for Kate's turn at gardening, but also as Kate shared courageous comments about her cancer journey. 'It was fascinating being in the room with her,' she said (via Hello!). 'She very loudly and clearly wanted to get across this message that, yes, she is now effectively back to royal work, but it's really difficult, and I certainly haven't heard her publicly talk in the way that she did yesterday. Her words were really strong.' 'For me, it was the first time that she really clearly said, 'I'm sorry, yes, I'm back at work, but now there are some times that I just can't do what I used to be able to do,'' she continued. 'She talked about the rollercoaster of it all, and kind of how it's not just a smooth plane to recovery, but also very much for her, it did feel like a plea. It felt like, again, her reinforcing this message of, 'I'm here. I'm here to do the public work. You are going to see me, but look, give me and my family a bit of understanding, but also be a bit more understanding towards other people who are also going through that difficult time.'' Like Kate, Diana often eschewed wearing gloves, also to be more relatable to the public. Queen Elizabeth wore gloves consistently and constantly—not only to keep her hands clean, but also to avoid germs—but Diana ripped up that page of the royal playbook and went gloveless as soon as 1981 and her first year marrying into the royal family. She wanted to 'convey approachability and warmth,' said Eleri Lynn, curator of the exhibit 'Diana: Her Fashion Story' at Kensington Palace, Diana's former home. 'She abandoned the royal protocol of wearing gloves because she liked to hold hands when visiting people or shake hands and have direct contact,' Lynn told People. Newsweek reported that 'One of Diana's key aims was to remove the barriers that were placed between her and the general public because of the fact of who she was. Gloves were just a physical embodiment of this, and by removing them, she sought to connect more intimately with the people she met,' which the outlet called 'radical thinking for the 1980s.' Back to Kate for a moment—after getting her hands dirty in the garden on Wednesday, Kate took part in an impromptu and unplanned meet-and-greet with well-wishers clamoring to shake the Princess of Wales's hand. But before she did so, Kate relatably said (per Hello!), 'I'm just washing my hands—I'll be back.' Read the original article on InStyle

File Photo by Hugo Philpott/UPI | License Photo July 5 (UPI) -- Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher reunited their band Oasis in Cardiff, Wales, Friday night.

"Because we need each other, we believe in one another #oasislive25," the siblings posted on Instagram Saturday. The Gallaghers formed the band in 1991 and dissolved it in 2009 because they were not getting along.

The North American leg of the tour kicks off Aug. 24 in Toronto and concludes in Mexico City on Sept. 12.

NESN's homage to the 1975 World Series, which included a look at the epic Game 6, was a home run
It was right in this 50-something's wheelhouse, and according to Amy Johnson , NESN's coordinating producer who oversaw the project, the feedback has been positive. 'Especially from those that remember the '75 team, that generation,'' she said. The inspired broadcast included a vintage score bug and simple-text graphics of the time. Play-by-play voice Dave O'Brien and analyst Lou Merloni dressed in gaudy jackets and ties that looked as if they were lifted straight from Gene Rayburn's wardrobe on 'Match Game.' (Look it up, kids.) Advertisement NESN went with a retro look for its broadcast of Tuesday's Red Sox-Reds game. NESN Reporter Jahmai Webster — wearing a shirt that looked as if it came from an exhibit on Studio 54 — voiced over some immersive flashbacks, including a look back at the epic Game 6 and a tribute to Luis Tiant , who should have been in Cooperstown long ago. Former Sox pitcher Rick Wise was an insightful guest in the booth. A graphic featuring wood paneling — ubiquitous in homes and on cars in the '70s — was a particularly nice touch. Advertisement The only disappointment was out of NESN's and the Red Sox' control. Rain, which coincidentally wreaked havoc with the schedule in the '75 World Series, forced Tuesday's game to be halted in the third inning, thereby interrupting the plan for the third and fourth innings of the broadcast to be fully retro. Related : I asked Johnson if there was more the NESN team wanted to add to the broadcast but didn't quite get to — a perm for O'Brien, or something like that, perhaps. 'I think it was almost the opposite, where we added more as we went,' she said. 'It started very basic and very simple and then as we talked about it more and thought about it more, we added more to it. This was so much fun to do because it was such a great team effort from everyone at NESN to everyone in our crew at Fenway. The buy-in is what made it a lot of fun and I think it came across on the air and with everyone involved.' Johnson said the plans to go vintage for this series had been in the works since March, with the network's sizable content-planning department involved from the get-go. Her own preparation included watching broadcasts of '70s baseball games on YouTube to be able to capture just the right groovy vibe. 'On the in-game graphics alone, we've been working for over a month trying to get those just right to make sure they were readable, accurate, and that we had enough different versions to accurately cover two whole innings of baseball — which we thought we'd have, before the rain arrived — without leaving people kind of wanting more information. Related : Advertisement 'There are very few questions unanswered on a screen in a baseball game these days, so we were trying to kind of find that middle ground. It's been really nice to hear from people who said we got it right.' NESN has more special Red Sox broadcasts planned, which are probably necessary given the underachievement of the team so far this summer. This coming week, NESN will pay tribute to the Green Monster, with Monday's broadcast originating from the Monster Seats. That's worthwhile — it will give the broadcasters a chance to see the Sox from a different vantage point. But should the Red Sox continue their mediocre ways for the next few months, who would mind another broadcast or two that takes a look back? In throwing it back to 1975, NESN proved it can do nostalgia just right. Forsberg knows his stuff A few years back, a Celtics executive gave me his impromptu scouting reports on the media members who cover the team on a regular basis. The word on NBC Sports Boston's Chris Forsberg was one of respect for the effort he puts in to understand the financial aspect of the NBA. 'He really has a great grasp on the salary cap,' the executive said. That's always stuck in my mind, and it has been proven true time and again over the past few weeks as the Celtics have shed popular players because of the dreaded penalties for being over the second apron. Forsberg's insight has been a welcome contrast on NBC Sports Boston to Michael Felger's disingenuous, predictable, and misleading 'the owners are being cheap' narrative.
