Cause Cordish doesn't know how to setup a compressor to protect their equipment in the first place?

(Back when I worked as a roadie, we did about 800 shows, and I think we blew 1 speaker. Total. And it was a cheap speaker that had been sitting in a mildewy garage for 3 years, and it was weaker than we'd expected it to be.)

I'm with DJ Jazzy Jeff on this one. Not to be confused with MC Jazzy Jeff.

What a bunch of assholes. I can't wait to see what it'll look like, probably about as much like Portland as an Irish pub in a rich Chicago suburb looks like Dublin.

Jazzy Jeff...I've recently been wondering what happened to him.

@Will Radik

Imagine a bunch of empty stores surrounding a Buffalo Wild Wings, Olive Garden, PF Changs. That's about what any development from Cordish will look like on nights there isn't a Blazer game.

For the "Portland" feel I see old bicycles hung on the walls of a TGI Fridays, and a server with a Keep Portland Weird button affixed to their suspenders (or would it just be suspender?)

@atomic

Are you sure a "Keep Portland Weird" button wouldn't be too much flair?

I'm confused again.

Isn't the Cordish development what the Mercury campaigned for when they sided with the architects in their effort to "save" the Memorial Colesium? Cause after all I am sure you thought this through and realized what the Blazers were actually doing right? You realized by blocking the baseball deal you were siding with the Blazers and their Cordish plans for the Colesium right?

I expect to see Matt Davis and Sara Mirk the first in line at the opening of this monstrosity. Happily chowing down on some Buffalo Wild Wings. Maybe Brian Libby will be there staring at the one glass well left of the building trying to get their attention again to "save" the MC.

After all this is as much your success as anyone elses (Paul Allen being the largest beneficiary).
