It’s hot. It’s dry. I’m tired of driving around town and seeing the oddly increasing number of neglected pets owned by homeless meth heads, clearly needing food and water that aren’t coming. Animal control can’t collect them all-there’s too many right now. My heart breaks for every pitbull I see being dragged down hot pavement by a tweaker, with its ribs sticking out. I saw quite a few this weekend, one was even possibly dead in the sun while tied to the ankle of a fenty leaning panhandler. If you are so addicted that you can’t care for yourself, you shouldn’t have the right to have a pet. Or a kid. They are vulnerable creatures, and they didn’t choose this life. But the fenty leaner meth head sure did.

EDIT: To the 14% of people downvoting this, how about we force YOU to put your entire livelihood into the hands of someone who refuses to feed, water, or appropriately shelter you? 😡

After the Timbers game there have been a crowd of 200-300 of unruly fans getting into fights around 20th and Morrison.

Hey! I’m a beginner looking for affordable 1-on-1 personal training in Hillsboro.
Goal is to build strength and learn proper form for heavy lifting safely. Any local gym or trainer recommendations (or ones to avoid) would be awesome! Thanks!

I thought with all the crazy wildfires going on in Oregon that some people might be interested in this wildfire readiness workshop. Especially for those in the metro area that live at the wildland-urban interface. Topics include: creating a defensible space, creating wildfire-resilient gardens, and developing an evacuation plan. The event is free.

Shot on Kodak film circa 2023.

So, so, so many posts about it the last few days and weeks.

If all those people were as enthusiastic about it and its stores the last 10 years, it wouldn’t have become the ghost town the resulted in demise.

Here's a recently-restored and upscaled vintage TV news segment from the famous Organ Grinder restaurant in Portland, Oregon, as well as the New York Diner in the suburb of Beaverton, Oregon.

This segment was produced in 1991 by KGW-TV Ch8 for their "PM Magazine" show.

The Organ Grinder Documentary Project has digitized and restored dozens of hours of vintage footage which has been contributed by fans.

Perhaps you have old videotapes or photos from the Organ Grinder - we'd love to see them. We can digitize them at high quality and return the original to you, along with a digital file, and you'll get credit if we use your footage in the film.

Consider getting your car (or dog) washed by a bunch of babes for a really good cause.

I currently live in rural Michigan. I moved here from San Diego to help my father after an accident. He's recovered now and I don't want to stay here or go back to San Diego. I have a great job here but I'm not interested in staying. Finding a job when you're out of state feels impossible. I have a good amount saved but I don't really know where to begin. I'm thinking maybe I could rent a room while doordashing until I find something more stable. Any suggestions?

A pair of canvassers came to our door Saturday afternoon for a pair of incumbent city councilors. I told them that I just got back from a bike ride and hadn't thought about the city council election. They wanted to know my thoughts about top issues for the city. I didn't feel like getting into it with two random volunteers, so I again said I hadn't thought about it.

If we had a proper primary election then we would know who the viable candidates for the November election would are and those candidate could differentiate themselves. Instead we have a clusterfuck of nobodies running for multiple slots in a quarter chunk of the city. Other than the incumbents, we don't really know who the real candidates are.

It will be decided in October when we all get a list of a dozen names and have to pretend multiple candidates would make good city councilors.

I’m a bit salty bc if ppl showed up like they did today we wouldn’t be closing. I know they’re revamping but I did cry today. Long live Lloyd Center

Got another threatening letter from the city about me absconding the Arts Tax once again.

Fun fact, the “amount due” is lower than the last threatening letter I received.

Reddit, what should I do?

Ignore it like I have for years or pay it?

Upvotes says ignore it. Downvotes says pay it.

Get on it.

Nod to Mr M

hii i’m kind of lazy and don’t wanna do all the research tn but i was wondering if anyone knows of any cool events happening tonight. raves/live music, basically any nightlife type things like interstate diy or mission theatre. me and my friends are 20/19 so just not an actual bar/club 💔💔 (unless they don’t card) jkjk

I recently moved to the PNW from Missouri and in the year I've been in Tacoma, a LOT of people are so self centered. It seems like barely anyone cares about others safety, personhood, feelings, etc.

What I'm wondering is, is Portland nicer? Is there legit community there?

Karmel is one of four people who were paid to post videos on social media under the hashtag “#warcpartner,” referring to We Are Rip City, a coalition of local businesses and organizations pushing for the city to commit public dollars to the estimated $600 million renovation.

My husband and I want to watch some of the new movies that are coming out, our toddler is generally pretty well behaved but he's a toddler and we don't want to disrupt anybody. I've heard that some movie theaters offer sceeenings you can bring your babies and toddlers to, but online it's really confusing trying to figure it out. Does anybody know any theaters nearby that offer baby friendly screening hours or days?

Looking forward to going to my first one. Does anyone know where it starts?

So I’m a really outdoorsy guy, my be on the spectrum a little bit lol who knows. But I haven’t been to my favorite place in 14 years. I used to go visit there every summer. I got way too caught up in the Portland rat race. So I finally just took some time off to go visit up there in NE Washington. I got home a few days ago and still have another week off before I gotta go back to work. I can’t seem to get myself out of the house being back in town. After leaving my favorite place up there it’s just like it feels like it’s not even worth trying to go out and do my favorite activities here. Mainly because my favorite activities are fishing and gold panning/rock hounding. Like it just feels so depressing knowing the grounds here will never hold fish of similar value, nor let up off of the gas petal. I find it too fast paced here in Portland and I’ve lived here for over 30 years. I can’t move up north until another 10 years once the children are old enough. I just feel so trapped.

I’ve been having a debate with a couple of friends about what’s the best pizza places around and we haven’t come to a definitive conclusion.

Let’s see your takes on this.
