Another Portland night and drunk, drunk, drunk. What’s new, Portland? I used to love the feeling of being drunk while walking down your streets, it just seemed to fit. It was so perfect, knowing that others had been here before me, likely more drunk and peered into the same windows surrounded by brick. Now, it’s different and the mood has changed. It ain’t fun no more, it’s intolerable. I drive ’round and around, looking through my road-scratched window of my ’89 Volvo sedan. I love my car bitches, don’t think otherwise. But I drive around, looking at how my Portland has changed. It used to be a dirty down, dingy and seedy with corners you’d only turn with your doors looked. Dealers literally stopping you as you drove down the street, standing in front of your car to leave you no choice. Hookers on Alberta and MLK, thrift stores with actual deals, bars that felt like you stepped back in time 50 years… all gone now. There ain’t nothing to drink for, except for the sake of drinking itself and how truly sad that fact is. This new Portland, I don’t know and don’t take kindly to… the old one, I miss dearly. Time for another drink and a smoke, for you fuckers wouldn’t know…

  2. lol@”portland used to be seedy”. Maybe by your farmer standards. Go to NOLA or the east coast if you want seedy, Portland has never and will never be.

  3. What happened to the America that believed the next generation would be drunker and seedier than the last? And just try to find good car bitches anymore!

  6. I’m so so glad I don’t see those fucking pieces of shit bigot skinheads driving around; harassing people; trashing the area; beating people up that are different from them; which is a lot of people! They got chased out; because no one wants them here; except for I,A; possibly tch too.

  8. Arenit:
    You don’t offer anything in support of your supposition that Portland was “never seedy.” If, in your own view, Portland has never been seedy, I would hazard to guess you either migrated in from Lake 0 or some other wonderbread haven in the last few years. Some of us that remember Union AV may recall otherwise.
    If I’m wrong please fiil me in.
    DamosA, as much as it pains me to admit, kinda gets things right (rare, I know). But SE portland infested with Nazi skinheads was but a small microcosm of southeast in general. Back then SE was a breeding ground for skinheads because it was a part of town already well-accustomed to a certain level of white-trash violence far and above whatever Arenit seems to think has ever “happened” here.
