BillsFanNC Posted July 25, 2024 Author Posted July 25, 2024 What about slinging feces at cops? Behavior worthy of condemnation Roundy, Finding, Tibs? Or is the flag burning still giving you pause? 1
BillsFanNC Posted July 26, 2024 Author Posted July 26, 2024 So far no condemnation from our most frequent leftist posters. The King seems to have dropped by for a stint in the cesspool. Condemn these protesters? Yay or nay King? 1

Che Guevara Posted September 28 Posted September 28 Well, living in "war ravaged Portland" was just hell today! I somehow managed to ride my bike three miles to my local climbing gym through sunlit tree lined neighborhoods and well managed city parks. I then climbed distractedly, wondering how I would ever get home in this war torn city? Miraculously I made it home but my day of terror was really only beginning because I had to take my 13 year old out today to another city park to play in their youth soccer game. What are we thinking here? Youth soccer? In this battle scarred place... what if one of the kids steps on a landmine. Yet, again, miraculously, all of the kids survived the game. Later, after a trip to the grocery store, fearing for my life whole time, I took the family out to eat. Amazing BBQ at a food cart pod. 100s of people eating food and enjoying great beer, outside. I guess everyone must have thought like me, "may as well enjoy our last meal." I was amazed there was even food... did an international aid organization provide rations? Somehow, someway, we ate and, at least for now, I appear to have survived the day in "war ravaged Portland." But, who knows what tomorrow will bring? Heaven forbid there be a peaceful protest somewhere. I may need to retreat to the basement bunker. Thank goodness the President is taking action, otherwise, whatever would we do here in "war ravaged Portland." God willing, I will keep you all appraised on our situation here. Reporting live from "war ravaged Portland."

Che Guevara Posted September 28 Posted September 28 I live in Northeast (NE) Portland. I have continually lived in Portland for the last 15 years and, on and off, for the last 20 years. Like most cities, Portland does have a few sketchy spots, but those are mostly scattered around town. Generally we tend to enjoy a really high quality of life here. Lots of public transit, biking is easy (by US standards) and the city is littered with local neighborhood centers where there are shops, restaurants, and other local businesses. In all seriousness, I often leave my house unlocked for hours at a time while out and about. The city has 6 main, and distinct, parts. As I said, I live in NE Portland which is very residential. There is also a SE Portland that is also very residential. The East side in general tends to follow a classic city grid pattern and is relatively flat which makes it very walkable. There is also a North Portland, which is also residential but a little bit off the beaten path because it takes bit of work to access. The Willamette river divides the east side from the west side. Great walkable and bike-able bridges cross the river one of which is, in fact, a pedestrian, bus, light rail, bike only bridge. On the west said, there is NW Portland characterized by the Pearl District which has taller apartment buildings and condos and some great neighborhood hang out spots and parks (Portland is loaded with public parks). If you head South from "the Pearl" (as it is known here) you start to get into downtown. Our downtown has seen better days. It was thriving up until Covid but the combination of remote work and the 2020 protests did take a toll on downtown. However, downtown is better today than it was a year or two ago and there are still some classic sites to visit in downtown (Powells Books, and the Saturday Market as some examples). Once you head South out of downtown you get in SW Portland. The SW waterfront is spectacularly. It is where you will find the tram that takes you up into Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) up going into the west hills. The SW waterfront has tall, Vancouver BC like towers and parks and neighborhood appeal on the ground level of the area. Further back in SW you start to go into the west hills where the neighborhoods are less obviously walkable but still with their own neighborhood centers (like Multnomah Village) and, of course, great parks. One last thing, this is a great, great, food city. Truly an embarrassment of riches.
