Glad to see he wasn't home or hurt. He played in the league for 18 seasons, at least he had some extra cash to throw away.
North Plains is just past Beaverton and Hillsboro on highway 26 and is a pile of crap (sorry any of you North Plains residents, but it's true). It is one of the last stops you can make on your way to the Oregon Coast, with decent gas prices and a few fast food joints though....
Crazy... I have probably ran by house and didn't know it. =) North Plains isn't much... but some of the roads a bit outside the main part of the city are nice in a rural kind of way. Little east from there is Helvetia where the Roloff's from Little People Big World have their farm. Get our pumpkins from there.
I didn't stay around to find out. Chased em 2 blocks, and some stuff went down which I don't want to say a whole lot about due to the legality, but let's just say he was running for his life and not in good shape when I last saw him, running through a snow storm with no shirt on, and I got all my stuff he stole back.
Because the land was almost nothing because he is saying it is a farm. Just kidding... I don't know that at all... but I do have a brief recollection of an rumor or story that might have almost implied something of the sort about some Blazer.
That and its one of the few places around where you can actually get any sort of land at all. I'm no fan of North Plains (except for the awesome golf courses and xmas tree farms) and am born and raised west side guy (still live here) but I'd rather be dead then live on the east side of town.
I know all the streets and neighborhoods look different on the eastside. That must be tough to deal with being a Westsider. There is nothing unique or interesting about YOUR side of town. I poop on the Westside!
One of my ex-girlfriends had her car stolen in Eugene a couple of years ago. It was some shitty 1991 Honda Civic or something. But, when they found the car, they not only busted them with the theft, but also for my girlfriend's weed that they found in the glove box. The thief didn't know, but how can he deny the possession charges given the circumstance. I thought it was pretty funny.
I don't think Robinson chose North Plains for the urban area. He likely chose it because it's beautiful country out there. I'm from the south side of town, but every time I drive out to the coast, I always reflect on how nice it is in that area of the PDX metro area.
