OMG! People have to follow the law! Who'da thunk it?

I guess having fun and being exciting is more important that being a good neighbor.

I guess it's all about your political clout. Construction at the downtown Safeway (SW 10th & Jefferson ) as a part of its renovation has been going on NIGHTLY for a couple of months with neighbors complaining to the city with no response other than, "Oh, it will be over soon..." even though the noisy construction is in complete violation of city code at that hour.

I've ridden by there late at night. It's not that loud when you're not in the parking lot. Whoever is calling the cops should get some friends. Or maybe a hobby, since they most likely have the social prowess of a cinder block.

Re: construction

I had to put up with the same BS from a Freddies behind my house for months.

People have to sleep, man. Hey Will, way to speak up for the PBR leisure class. How long do I have to wait for one of your boring blog posts?

I'd settle for PIR not blasting an entire 2 mile radius with noise all day, every weekend, all summer.

Fuck the police. And grumpy neighbors. If anybody tries to stifle this cart pod, they deserve to be awakened by much worse music than was probably playing to prompt the complaint.

@ person who coined "PBR Leisure Class." This term is perfect. It officially replaces my previous terms for this particular species, which had been "Stupid, Entitled Portland Butthole" and "Stupid, Entitled Portland Lady Butthole."

Who needs sleep as long as these silly fucks are having fun being faux-edgy until 4 AM?

Frankly, I doubt that what the carts are serving is food or what they are playing is music. More like a pretext for social prowess.

Dear Everyone Defending the Carts' Right to Blast Music in the Middle of the Night,

Could you post your addresses so I can stand outside your ratty rental houses at 2 PM on a random Wednesday when you're trying to sleep off a weeknight spent chugging $1 Old Germans at the Florida Room? I'd like to run around your yard blasting Def Leppard while chain smoking and knocking around your trash cans. Honestly, I think you would really enjoy that. Let's make it happen!

Thanks,

Me

Speaking of Noise Ordinances, can someone report those "mobile Shred-It" trucks that collect offices flotsam? They are quite noisy and aggravating.

This was a problem in the area. The former Jezebel's Bar which was two blocks away, was shut down due to hypersensitive neighbors.

These people hate any kind of social gathering near their area, and are extremely disappointing that they are attacking a food gathering as well.

Jezebel's was fantastic. I hooked up with horny ex-girlfriends after dancing on the super tiny dance floor to DJ Wicked!

Is it just me? It seems that out of all the good press this great little food court has gotten (national and local), The Mercury only seems to hype the negative. This makes the third anti-report I've seen here since it opened. Can't you guys find the good in this place that most others have enjoyed? Or are we just still pissed that we can't park as easily when trying to get a cup of coffee?
Get over it. I'd hate to see your pride keep you from enjoying what everyone else has discovered.

Spots along Alberta has the same problem. It's very hard to get the city to give a damn. The relatively well-to-do nature of Ladd's Addition no doubt helps get results.

Bottom line is this town is full of kids who don't have any responsibilities and don't give a crap.

food carts are the new fixies

I live next to the drunk cart munching dildos that wander around the block smoke bowls, fuck and leave their trash and piss all over the place. The cart lot is just ground zero for dozens of underage kids to drink and party all night long. Every weekend there are used condoms, needles and piles of alcohol related trash all over the place. Shut that crap down!

Blow me, Blow Me. Your attempts at propaganda are very transparent... Your motives too obvious. Your agenda has been exposed. Your identity revealed. Your ego bruised.

Go home. (You live nowhere near this place.)

Please wait...
