What’s the hold up? We caught up on hotel rooms, but now that we did that I heard our arena is too old now?

Hey is there an alt posting of this? Maybe you can post it here? Very concerning based on the embedded summary (mall shop selling fascist t-shirts? phone smashed?)

Not sure what styles of music you're into, a few Portland bands for your local collection: Glitterfox, Forty Feet Tall, Haley Heynderickx.

Which chain?

So far it seems like a good thing to let the committees figure out how they want to work. That has not worked out well for various NAs, advisory committees, etc but at least for now, seems to be a good way to start. Best practices based on experience can be standardized.

I'm pretty sure scattered cul-de-sacs in residential n'hoods will be low on the list of issues that cause major traffic in the event of evacuation or disaster. Walking and biking will likely be the only functional form of transport for many.

The right image is Firefox's landing page, you can switch the default search in settings. As for the date/note, I think it may be a text overlay on a screencap.

Friends of mine have had luck retrieving their bike from trimet in this exact scenario. Good luck and fingers crossed you can get it back!

I haven't seen the threads but I hear you. I can only speak to Portland: the alternatives quality-wise are generally pricier. We tend to shop near or within our neighborhoods here so that's another large factor.

I'm sharing the reasons people of low/mid class shop there, you don't shop there and you asked why. The whole paycheck thing is not really accurate, they are in the middle between cheap and expensive groceries. No objection to boycotts.

Depends where you are and what local grocers have to offer. WF in Portland tends to be pretty middle ground affordable compared to other local alternatives and the produce is high quality.

A friend and I were just discussing how players get from PF to Moda/Providence on game day. I figure most drive, but maybe there are bus or shuttle options? I am genuinely curious. Very cool you got to see BC on NYE! My claim to coolness is I caught Billie Eillish at Moda recently.

I understand for the Blazers at least it turns out to be really convenient because they all live even further out so it's on the way into the office for most. Huge salary differential though.

I wish we had more central PF to encourage players to live in the central city. You made me curious. Blazers PF is about 13 miles out, Timbers 9. This is 12 miles if I have the location correct.

The plan appears to be to remain a middling team and hope we strike gold with grab bag picks or offcasts from other teams, which is how it's been since Dame got here.

Thanks, I was curious about move vs second location, very different neighborhood.

Jerry was a regular sighting at anti-war marches in NYC.

Yes, I agree with that sentiment while also supporting advances in this corridor. I expect many east portland arterials to end up on the transpo committee agenda this year. They have a lot of work to do.

does not appear to be ICE, this is DHS/FPS police.
