Yummmmm, KFC on the Oregon coast! http://consumerist.com/2012/04/18/lawsuit-kfc-franchisee-made-employees-serve-expired-chicken/
Nobody died. We soft Americans could stand to have our immunity levels rise against bacteria, even if it means a 15% kill-off of the weaker among us.
Seems like someone forgot to mention, Trader Joe's is a darn good gocery store. Some very good stuff under their band. Then there was this program I watch about a month ago about how nutrition is poor in many urban areas because good grocery stores don't locate in the low end neighborhoods. They didn't really give a good reason for that fact, but perhaps this is it. Nobody want to see the neighborhood improve, screw the nutrition. I never would have thought of it.
No Wook, can't go there. There is something not right about a food place a blind man can identify from a block and half away.
Oh hell I don't know, just something about KFC. I went often to the Blue Ox in Lexington Kentucky which was the origin of Colonel Sanders Kentucky Fried Chicken back before it was a Franchise. It was really good. Some how since then, the aroma has been enhanced beyond the point of return.
I actually agree with this group. Quit trying to force all the blacks out to Gresham. North East Portland should never be a suburb. They've done it in St. Johns but a lot of the true NoPo'ers stood their ground and its still culturally diverse. Hell, there a new season less than a mile away on Williams anyways and there's another New Season's a couple miles away on Interstate. How many fucking rip off health food stores do we need?
Why don't they just wait til its almost built so they can burn it down instead, like they did with that apartment building that was in the works?
That's the point. Nobody is going to try to build there when it will just be burned down, anyhow. Keeping all of the blacks in NE in the Interstate/Killingsworth/Columbia Blvd area seems to be the wish of Portland's leadership. I wouldn't be surprised if the white Democrats in power burned down the apartment building, just to keep the brown people contained in one area, and needing handouts by the PDC. Look at what happened to NE Alberta. Nice stores go in, and suddenly white folk are buying up homes there, pushing the browns further toward the shitty part of the city, apparently.
I'm still looking for a counter argument to the idea of bringing new businesses into this area of town. Hoojacks, can you please explain why you think it's a good idea to keep the lot vacant?
Slowly pushing lower income folks out, Echo Park (L.A.) style. If you want a good example of this - read up on what L.A. did to this once seedy barrio.
This is what happens when you advertise your city as an urban paradise. More and more people move into the city, there isn't enough viable property so people start buying up the shitty older homes and fixing them. They're really only delaying the inevitable. NE will eventually be consumed by hipsterville, USA and there's nothing anyone can do about it. I've been seeing plates from places like fucking Nebraska. When did we turn into LA? What are all these midwesterners doing once they get here? Working at Starbucks?
