Rumor What's going on in Portland?

30 in 60...wow I better check mine

 

Sure, as long as I have a place to criticize where you live. I actually am too busy with kids and a career to go on a daily voyage through the internets to find instances of crime and chaos in the utopia you call home, but I would feel better knowing I had a place to post said findings if I ever got that bored.
I’ve said before this reminds me of the thread about the border from 2 years ago, where those 2 skinheads on here would go out of their way daily to find crimes committed by anybody of Latin decent. Like a racist Craigslist of findings. They let that shit go for years on here.
This thread is pretty much people who don’t actually live in this town just constantly ripping it apart. As if we don’t know. Can’t wait one day when I can move to a town/city with no crime like you guys.

 

There's a 50+ square block section of Los Angeles that is tent/trash city....it's zombieland.....Portland just gets some of the spillage..it's happening all over the country....I believe Memphis has had the highest crime rate per captita for a long time now and South Side Chicago has always been in the mix along with Baltimore....it's just shocking to see it in Portland to all of us...for people in the east or huge urban ghettos it's been like that for ages...San Bernadino cops arrested 180 gang member, got their money, guns and drugs in one swoop from a gang that's operated there for decades.....that's what needs to happen...clean house. They found so many warrants outstanding in the arrest and 140 were on parole.....it's fixable if you have a good police department.

 

Another thing…..you who CONSTANTLY update this thread and keep it alive….do you travel? Have you seen this fucking country in the last 18 months? Honest question. This whole country is in the shitter. Swing by LA/Vegas/SF/Seattle/Boise/PHX/Houston/Dallas/New Orleans/Atlantic City/ NYC/Philly/ Charlotte/ Orlando/Miami/ Tampa/DC/Chicago/Memphis/Minny/Reno…… cities I’ve been recently and tell me Portland stands out. I don’t live there, that’s why I don’t start threads about em.

 

Hey strawman, it's called the PORTLAND metro area. Sorry I didn't go to high school there but it's still my city as well. I've lived in Portland, worked downtown for years, and currently reside just outside the city limits. When I talk to people from Atlanta, we don't bring up the suburb they live in. Why would we? Makes no sense.

 

You’re acting like we all live in Miami and are posting about Portland that’s what’s strange. I assume most of the people here either live within 20 mins of Portland or used to live in Portland.

 

Is NW 23rd pretty safe? I hate going there because parking is ass. May do some last minute Christmas shopping there on the 24th.

How about Pearl? Like Powells and shit.

Downtown just seems unattractive overall, at least as an outsider looking in. Not even bothering with new restaurants or staying in a hotel, the reputation is stained. Gonna try to hit up Saylers. Benihana (fam meal, not my choice). Picking up some Salt Pepper squid from Thien Hong for Christmas eve dinner.


Some burgerville and some Du's if they are open.

 

Yes its safe lol. Just stay away from the camps.

 

Anyone ever see a concert at McMenamins Edgefield?

Jack Johnson playing in October. Thinking it may be dope

 

I've always liked going there for concerts. Looked at that one, but it's 80 bucks a ticket

 

I've never been in to Sayler's. But was in a fantasy football league one year with the...owner's son? I don't think he was the owner, maybe son of the owner. Anyways, he was a deadbeat owner, even though he was a good friend of a friend, so I never wanted to go in there.

 

Saylers is the bomb. Mushroom sauce.

 

You talk about towns with people they don’t even live in? I’ve never done that. In all my years of traveling around the world, I’ve never had conversations with people about Vancouver or Tualatin. Also, you gotta let me
in on what the straw man term is. By the tone of your response, I don’t think that is a compliment.

 

What about if we have seen things with our own eyeballs but don’t live in Portland? Can we say it’s gotten shitty? Like if I drive through it but don’t live in the city limits does it not count?

 

jack Johnson is dope?

 

You've never met someone in all of your travels that says "I live about 20 mins south of X city." I find that hard to believe.
It means you're focusing on the edges of the grass instead of the yard itself.

 

Used to work near Sayler’s for like 8-9 years and ordered takeout breakfast there all the time. Totally bomb.

 

its a must!!. Five course meal for good prices. Their deep fried prawns are the best!

 

Maybe so, but not even responding to trade requests? I dunno...

 

When im dealing with customers its always “just outside of Portland”.
People know where that is.
If i say “Tualatin”, they are like… “wheres the hells that? You have a freeway near you???”
