Rumor What's going on in Portland?

I was out in Portland over the weekend, Drinking on Misssisipi, Sandy and Burnside. Stayed away from downtown though, it was nice.

 

you never should have voted to legalize potholes!

 

Everything east of 82nd is one big pothole. The land that the City of Portland forgot (but more likely choose to ignore…..)

 

Most of Lane County is on a flood plain...I voted for a gas tax to fix potholes but ODOT controls the hiway through the watershed and so there are pot holes in front of all the gas stations where I pay the tax...they really needed to build an overpass through the Fern Ridge Dam area of 126...it's brutal for sink holes

 

I remember going to a concert @ Mississippi Studios. Whole lot of fun! Ate somewhere near there, but can't remember where. Maybe Interurban.

 

Apropos pretty much nuttin’……my cousin and I went to a concert at Mississippi Studios just as the pandemic started picking up steam. We saw Nikki Lane and she was awesome (cute too). She lives in Nashville and has a vintage shop called High Class Hillbilly. You and your wife should both check her and shop out…….the girl can sing.

 

Thanks for that!

Tom's Interurban? We ate at a different Tom's Interurban on Monday.

 

7 people shot downtown last night. One woman dead. Portland is a shithole.

 

Impossible. I was at some hipster bars last weekend and it couldn't have been nicer out.

 

Show me a large city that's better. Smallville U.S.A. doesn't count.

 

San Diego

 

Of places I've been...
+ San Diego
+ Phoenix
+ Salt Lake
+ Denver
+ Charlotte
+ Raleigh/Durham

& smaller markets
+ Bend
+ Boise
+ Spokane
+ St George
+ Sedona
+ Ashville

I'm sure there are a bunch more....

 

None of those places are where I would choose to live.
Since I've never spent much time in any of those places, I'm going to require a link from a reliable source backing up your assertion before I will accept it as fact.
Also, I eliminated small towns because none of them face the challenges of large cities.

 

San Diego is awesome.

 

My brother-in=law and my sister-in-law got the hell out of Dodge. They couldn't stand the weather which was the same all year long. They now live in East Vancouver near Camas. Much much happier.

 

Yes it must suck to live where it’s mid-70’s all year!

 

I spent two years in San Diego while in the navy. After awhile the weather actually DOES kinda suck for anyone who grew up with four seasons. Same shit, different day. 75 degrees and palm trees on Christmas Day? Fuck that. There’s something to be said for fall colors……and air that smells good after a rain. San Diego is a great place to visit but I’ll take Portland weather any day.
