    The "for lease" sign adds a little humor, don't you think?

    Exactly. If Hillsboro can block a Walmart from being built off Cornelius Pass, how does a Target make it downtown? Again, gross!!

    Target isn't for white trash. They have a good ethic and vibe. Better than an empty building.

    There is a Fucking marshals or Ross dress for less. Target is upscale compared to them.

    There's nothing wrong with Tarshay.

    Also, Sam Adams has blocked Wal-Mart a few times from opening up shop on the edges of Portland. It's pretty clear he's not Pro Wal-Mart.

    Dude, that "massive eye sore" was my drunk food of choice when George and Taki ran out of gyros at Satrycon.

    A very rare sight indeed! The Willamette looks pristine in the right light/angle/reflection from the moon and the sun.​

    I wouldn't eat shit out of the Willamette. Hell, I wouldn't even wakeboard in the Willamette.

    Our rivers are amazingly clean compared to others across the country. We stay right on the river in Cleveland and Milwaukee and they are YELLOW!

    The 100 y/o (PSU) Lincoln Hall looks great after a total renovation.

    Thought I'd do something different and profile a famous Portland resident. I believe he lives in one of the high-rise loft buildings in the Pearl District.

    Danny Glover lives in the Dunthorpe area and came into my uncles bar once.

    Not sure what brought him to Oregon.

    Also, Sally Struthers is from Portland. Her dad worked at the wool mill with my grandpa way back in the day and they were friends. Both dead now.

    Btw, if I had the money Glover has I'd live in Dunthorpe as well. Awesome area.
