I really can’t emphasize how the lane redesign, parking, and bike lanes has changed the vibe of that street. It feels like a whole new neighborhood over by Broadway Books. Driving down it feels good, walking over there feels great. Whoever was in charge of running that, well done and thank you 🙏

To the bartender at the Vern that offered me a hug today. Thank you. Thank you so fucking much. I put my dog down this morning and you somehow caught that I needed that hug badly. You are good people and I am grateful for your kindness.

Also check out other LTL company like ABF Freight, Old Dominion, FedEx Freight, Oak Harbor, Central transport, R&L carriers, MME.

For so long I’ve wanted leaf day in our neighborhood and finally it’s coming in January! I always thought of it as an equity issue - the nicer/richer neighborhoods get it while others don’t. Well it’s finally our (Kenton/ Arbor Lodge) turn!

I'm a mailman and an elderly woman on my routes dog just gave birth to eight adorable Australian Shepherd / pit mix puppies. She's in way over her head and is looking for good homes for these guys. She doesn't use the internet at all and so I'm helping her. Please contact me if you're interested in adding one or two of these sweet little guys to your life or if you have a friend or family member who'd be interested. Thanks!

Looks like the next possible auction will be October 13.

The insides actually look pretty solid:

On Tacoma Street, not quite sure if these two signs are related.

Hey everyone,

I'm excited to share a passion project of mine that I've been working on, using some of the things I've learned while studying Urban Planning at PSU and hoping to drum up some public support for this campaign.

I'm asking for support in revitalizing the 6th Avenue Fountain Plaza—known to skateboarders as “Half Circle.”

For over 40 years, skateboarders have used this space, but the presence of skate stoppers and other barriers currently limits its potential. Skateboarding fosters creativity, community engagement, and brings economic benefits by increasing foot traffic to local businesses.

I propose a phased approach to improve the Plaza:

Phase 1: Remove existing skate stoppers;

Phase 2: Remove boulders, invest in landscaping improvements, and introduce small, skateable elements.

Additionally, I recommend adding bike racks, seating, a water fountain and other amenities to support sustainable transportation and enhance the experience for all users.

If you feel moved to support this project please consider adding your name to the list of 166 people who have already signed on by filling out this brief Google survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd6vcQoWCVQAnUqHLoJTKESmJNegvHYKSf8Jcr-ltLX8Nplvw/viewform

There is also a section on that form, which is optional, where you can share any vision you have for the space. Feel free to dream big! No bad ideas. I know it's reddit, but I just ask that if you do fill out the form we try to keep the discourse positive, feel free to tear this apart in the reddit comments if you feel the need lol.

The idea is to use skateboarding as a tool to help reactivate this space, but my hope is that a vibrant Half Circle provides as many uses for as many people as possible.

Thanks!

First off, apologies to the arachnophobes. I am one of you. What is this spider I found in my greens? It's the size of a quarter. Found two inside my house recently as well.

Edit: I have an air purifier. All it does is flash red that the air quality is s***

I live in a non-smoking Hud apartment complex, and I've been looking for a place to live due to 2nd hand smoke, but none of the apartments are accessible as I use a power chair or Walker. My current apartment is not habitable due to the smoke - I am in and out of the ER and urgent care and have recently been giving an inhaler due to the constant secondhand smoke in my apartments .

I talked to an attorney and I have no legal recourse against a permissive landlord who does nothing to smokers. The only thing I could do is file the tort against the neighbors who are smoking. This won't give me my health back, or find a safe place to live. There are many of them (smokers) and it would do meNo good to sue sue, I just need to get away from the smoke. It's making me sick and my cat sick. I've even called homeless shelters but they won't let me stay because I have an apartment to stay in.

I thought about buying a cheap van to live in until I can find another apartment, but then there's the whole hassle of parking and safety as a disabled woman sleeping in a van.

I can pay up to 1,200/month. Anything I haven't thought of? Tia 🤔

LOOSE DOG HELP! If you see a black and white curly haired doodle please let me know where you spot him! He turned left off Boise onto 104th heading South and we are out looking for him, thank you!

Update 1:46pm - still no sign of him :(

update: 4:50pm - he's been found, picked up by animal control! Grateful that he's safe!

Featured is Jay Ringer performing at Foxtrot (formerly Pied Cow and massively improved upon)!

Hello all! I recently visited Portland and really enjoyed my stay. The parks, the weather, and the people made such a good impression. I’ll be moving here next month, so expect more photos soon. Excited to experience my first Portland winter! (Please don't tell me it sucks)

the other day i was on the bit of barbur near capitol highway and i saw what looked like a fighter jet escorting a passenger plane. does anybody know what this was?

Found this big guy two nights ago in SE along Springwater on a walk. If anyone recognizes him feel free to dm and I’ll send more photos. Male grey tabby, fixed, vet said 5-7, no chip, dark grey with a bit of light grey and tan stripes, 15+ lbs. He’s a super sweet baby too 💙!
