I actually think this guy is serious

actually didn't they call it Lake No-Negro when you were a "youth"?

 

Was just gonna post that, my 44 year old buddy always called it that

 

Some of the Blazers have and do live in LO.

But yeah, they did call it that and sometimes it still hear the reference.

 

Don't most live in Tualatin and the Pearl now? I know they used to be a few in Dunthorpe back in the day. Rod Strickland and Allah Abdelnabby used to live in my friend's neighborhood in Kruse Ridge or something.

 

ABM and I will take that as a compliment.

 

We'll agree to disagree. Of course, I've only lived or have owned a house in LO since 1974, so what would I know?

 

Pretty much all of Portland is "no-negro". It's just about the whitest town in which I've ever lived. Even the black areas are white.

 

First, I've seen photos of you. You're not cute.

Second, as with most real estate developments in mature areas, there is a story behind it.

Third, if a developer follows all the rules, then the community should have a very limited say, and only in extraordinary circumstances. Property owners have rights, too. Where I have a problem is an increase in the FAR without input from the citizenry. This was typical LO City Council bullshit deciding they know what's best, when what they really want is another plaque will all their names on it (just like Millennium Plaza).

 

Lots of Blazers have lived in Tualatin. Greg Oden, Joel Przybilla, Raef Lafrentz, Ruben Patterson, to name a few..

Oh and Channing Frye's wife went to Tualatin High. She's my friend's cousin so he see's Frye at some family events.

 

How dated of you.

 

Like I said, says the "snob".

When most people feel that way, but you don't, I'll roll with the majority.

As I said before, not hating, it's just an observation. There's a level of snobby-ness there that isn't as prevalent in most other areas of the Metro Area.

 

Z-Bo and Miles lived in West Linn. Stoudamire's house off the 205 Stafford exit is still for sale (I pass it nearly everyday). Kersey used to live next to my friend, and Roy had a house in West Linn. Petrie, Walton, etc all had homes in Barrington Heights (WL).

Like anyone, I think it depends what they're looking for. But Portland, LO, West Linn, and Tualatin seem to be the only places I really ever see listed.

 

You're entitled to your opinion. And I'm entitled to think you have no idea what you're talking about. So, to your ignorance.
