    Pretty sure Danny left Portland. Saw a news story on it a few years back.

    Sally went to Grant FAMS! Did some work with Mr. Glover about 10 years ago editing and he was an absolute PRICK! Too bad, cause I loved him as an actor til then!

    This guy is always by Pioneer courthouse square. So we now have an all-silver guy alongside an all-blue guy downtown? Nice.​

    Dallas, Texas are using a streetcar loaned from Portland's United Streetcar and displaying it in their downtown to promote their lightrail project proposal.

    Phoenix did something similar, too. They are using Portland as the model for public transportation.

    The area by PSU has dramatically changed over the past few years. The Cyan Condo building, PSU Rec Center, College Station, and don't forget this awesome (net-zero) project that's slated to go directly across the street from the rec center:

    Didn't some super rich guy with connections to big oil donate a huge amount of money a few years back? Think he went to school there.

    Those Cannon shots freaked me out. My in-laws have a place down there and the street looks identical. Realized it wasn't. Ironic that I have told my wife that I would love to retire at Cannon Beach. Favorite beach town.

    Here's a pretty cool illustration of the construction boom of the mid-rise/high-rises just in the downtown area from 2004-2010. Most of which are in the Pearl and South Waterfront.The buildings outlined in red are proposed projects:
