    Are you assuming he is broke because he's black?

    Also a fitting article, Zbo is gone but John Canzano still haunts Portland.

    At least Canzano doesn't (allegedly) sexually assault women like Zbo did. I sure miss Zach. What a great period to be a Blazer fan that was!

    OMFG! Did Canzano really write this?
    Just when I thought that prick Canzano couldn't get any lower. So this Moffett character shot some guy because Zach Randolph played for the Trail Blazers, and because they didn't trade Zach soon enough? How long has Zach been off the team? I honesty wish that loser Moffett had shot Canzano instead of that Mata guy. I know nothing about Mata, but everything I care to know about Canzano.

    I have to agree that it was quite the stretch by Canzano to try to blame the Blazers for this guy being shot.

    On a side note, the manager of the club is the father of a boy who sits next to my oldest daughter in school. His photo was in the paper today on the top fold of the Metro section. My daughter wanted to cut out the article and give it to him, but I said it probably wasn't the best idea, considering the circumstances.

    Since violence has reigned on 2nd street for as long as Portland has existed, I doubt the club is any more to blame than the Blazers are.

    Correct. A buddy from work was there that night. Said he didn't even know what was going on until he left a couple hours later.

    Please don't try and make this racist with me.

    No I'm surprised that he has enough money to hire Houze because shooting a bouncer in front of dozens of witnesses, a security camera and at least one police officer means he's a fucking idiot.

    Saying those are or were black clubs is like saying Taco Bell sells Mexican food.

    Downtown has always had 2 black clubs since I can remember (early 90s). That one on 2nd which was a mexican club for a short while in the late 90s/early 2000s and the one on 4th and Stark or Washington..its on one of the corners.

    They have historically had shootings/gang problems.

    No, Canzano just wrote an article where he conveniently forgot to mention alleged more than once (but victim a good twenty times); always a shining example in fair and balanced journalism he has shown.

    Greek Cusina has had much more of a violent history than the clubs you mention.

    Also "historically" speaking the PPD would let everyone know where the real black clubs were at by tossing dead opossums in the doorways of them.

    That never happened in downtown Portland.

    FYI, just because a place plays Hip Hop and black people go there doesn't mean it's a black club. If you wanted to open a club in downtown and you wanted to attract the 20-30's something suburban white crowd you'd play Hip Hop music.

    The places I'm thinking of were almost exclusively black clientele. What was the place on 4th called? Metropolis or something?

    The one on 4th and Stark I think is the one where the Samoan bouncer killed a guy outfront by choking him out.
