    And they don't slow down
    Portland's such a speedy town
    Hot clothes high society
    He said it never get the best of me

    And then he met a girl with hair like the sun
    With social status she was number one
    He left it all and he left downtown
    A little voice follows him around

    Fez, I know I've previously asked you this, but do you know where I could find a photo of the old Metro on Broadway? Do you remember the Metro? It was what occupied the corner where the Columbia store is on Broadway. I loved that place. It was one of the only "cool" places you could go as an under 21 Portlander back in the day. It was literally just a food court, but it was pre Mall food court. It was cool. I've searched, but I can't find any photos.

    Finding Portland video is very very cool!
    They should have got some footage up at Timberline or Mt Hood Meadows.

    Yes, but having sex with a teen while listening to Depeche Mode and riding a clove buzz, is what is was all about back then.

    And that is exactly why it ruled. Old Portland. Not old NEP, but old Downtown. I miss that shit.

    this will blow your mind HCP...

    It is believed that the concrete inside of Hoover Dam is STILL curing.


    btw, curing, HCP, means drying/solidifying. To "Set" if you will.




    (of course, that's mostly an urban legend, but I couldn't miss an opportunity to poke fun of HCP at the end there)
