Throw in Stammtisch and No Ho's and we're good to go. Although, I'm not sure Prez is allowed in No Ho's. It's all in the name.
Your loss. Great food never depends on location. And FWIW, almost 60 years ago my grandparents got “eminent domained” out of their home on Minnesota Ave (smack dab in the middle of current Failing St. pedestrian overpass and adjacent to currently gentrified Mississippi Ave area) to make way for I-5.......and couldn’t do a frickin’ thing about it but move. Better to be priced out than bulldozed out......at least some of those people in “Gentrification Central” owned their homes and got fair market value for them (making a choice to move) rather than a “take a lowball, lower than market price or we’ll evict you”offer. And renters usually get shit on wherever they live, so let’s please don’t play the race card. And when you look at property values, Portland proper in general is Gentrification Central. Welcome to Capitalism. Singling a particular area out is bullshit...... And a question......if you owned a house in an area being gentrified, would you hold out in a futile effort to stop the change or would you take an outrageous offer and run?
I discussed this with my wife, she corrected me that she liked it a lot. She liked "herring in a fur coat" like a Russian 7 layer dip. The have good dumplings and cabbage rolls.
I don't feel like I'm losing at all. Just can't spend my money with people who look at and treat me weirdly for being in an area I grew up in.
To answer your question, I used to be a loan officer. I have family that own a few houses in that situation right now. I tell them not to sell. It doesn't make sense to sell your house you own outright, that you're paying $1,000 a year in property taxes, to move to another house we paying 4-5K a year.
Yeah, I went to one over the summer, it was aight, better than a Sharis...I like the store attached with all the retro stuff.
Still in LA. Prob this weekend sometime. I mean Jin Wah is good for the suburbs I never expect too much
