PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — In-N-Out Burger is meeting with the
city of Portland about potentially building its first location in
Portland.

The restaurant could be located near Portland International
Airport at Northeast Airport Way and Holman Street.

The proposal includes 61 parking spaces and a 31-car drive-
thru.

In-N-Out Burgers, doing business as In-N-Out Burger, is an
American regional
chain of fast food restaurants with
locations primarily in
California and to a lesser extent the
Southwest from Oregon to Texas.

It was founded in Baldwin Park, California, in 1948 by Harry
(1913–1976) and
Esther Snyder (1920–2006). The chain is
headquartered in
Irvine, California, and has expanded
outside
Southern California into the rest of California, as
well as into
Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Colorado,
and
Idaho, and is planning expansions into New Mexico and
Tennessee. The current owner is Lynsi Snyder (below) the
Snyders’ only grandchild.

THE FIRST HUMAN RECEIVES TREATMENT

Insulin: A Story of Discovery and Innovation: Breakthrough T1D Reports

On January 11, 1922, 14-year-old Leonard Thompson became
the
first person to receive an injection of the hormone insulin
for Type-1 diabetes—a disease that for millennia had been
considered a death sentence for anyone who developed it.

The breakthrough would be one of the most consequential in
medical history, saving millions of lives.
