    Depth perception should be interesting in that joint. Taking a jumper in to the woods could definitely fuck someone up. It does have a Memorial Coliseum without the black curtains feel to it.

    Solid design, odd location.

    But it's great to see more development in this area nonetheless.

    $1.5 billion for 7.3 miles!

    I grew up in Gladstone and have friends and family who live in the Milwaukie area and I haven't found a single person who lives there that wants Max. Actually the commute down McLoughlin isn't bad at all during rush hour traffic. This just seems like one of those projects that is only happening because the feds offered to pay half.

    They never had a chance to stop this project. The wheels were already in motion.

    Sure there is traffic but it flows steady, even the speed trap in downtown Milwaukie isn't bad.

    Well, that's cuz you're driving on McLoughlin.

    Druggies/prostitues/SlyPokerDogs walk along McLoughlin.

    Well, they finally finalized a deal (3 acres) for the in-door public market & Tower project.

    Well, it looks like there is a very good chance that height limits are going to be softened in the Lloyd District.

    The big population growth (2035 projection) this district will have the biggest change/development in all of downtown Portland.

    I can't believe how much the Lloyd District has change over the last decade. When an area is gentrified where do the dirt bags relocate to?

    Wow. That isn't the Hillsboro I grew up in. I heard on the radio they landed a minor league baseball team as well? The Yakima team? Something like that. Amazing what Intel can do to a city. When I was going to hi-school at Glencoe in the early 90's it was a down right fucking DUMP!
