    Been zero movement on a stadium or site selection. This all started a few years back and I know covid, but just seems like zip synergy about bringing MLB to town?

    Having worked out of Brew Town for many years, I knew who Selig was.

    Portland was kinda the lightning rod for all the BLM protests though. Certain news networks made it sound like the entire city was burning. I don't think that perception has left people's minds. I heard we lost a lot of conventions.

    Using the BLM riots as an excuse is sooo 2020.

    That said, the grifters at the Diamond Project are running out of new things to shill.

    Grifters? Huh? Mike Barrett seems like a pretty upstanding guy. Their plans seemed legit. What are you referring to?

    They've only sold hats. Their Terminal 2 plan was an absolute joke.

    It doesn't matter if the image perseveres.

    "I heard we lost conventions" L M A O. Portlands perception among the rest of the country has never been worse. These sound like comments from someone that hasnt travelled since covid.

    T2 is the only one feasible for downtown. Now Loyd Center? That was a joke.

    I’ve traveled quite a bit since Covid. When we get asked where we’re from and say Portland it’s a quick widening of the eyes and it seems like they don’t want to still engage in convo at which time I need to insist that Portland isn’t as bad as the “fake news” leads them to believe.

    Granted one of the people we talked to was wearing a ‘Fuck Biden’ swimsuit by the pool the next day and being belligerent.

    This is so old.... the rest of this country is as fucked up or more than Portland. Not going to waste my time again typing all the names of cities whose downtowns are still boarded up. Get out and see the real world if you don't believe me. The perceptions about us are there because of what was reported. Let me know if you need to know specific cities.

    No. Sports-related threads that are of interest to Blazer fans often exist and will continue to exist in the main forum. The non-sports stuff, however, will generally be relocated. This is fine here.

    Consider this also my response to your similar request in the Ducks and Timbers threads (although that one might be up for consideration if the content therein becomes exclusively political).

    This isn't that new either. I had a friend move here from the midwest 8ish years ago. His parents were concerned because they thought we were hippies, Godless heathens and perpetual reefer smokers (ala Reefer madness, they felt weed would ruin your life).
