Dear Portland City Officials,

I have parents, don't need any more. Please fuck off.

Love,

I think your concerns are backwards - the city doesn't want to lose the cart culture - which is now in doubt after the OLCC gets their take.

@D, I don't follow you...

The Tweet was something to the effect of - Yay OLCC - boo City of Portland - was how I read it anyhow.
Your story is very evenhanded and informative.

It makes no sense to me (and really ticks me off) that the Mayor and city commissioners would fight this so hard when there are ALREADY carts selling beer in Portland. Why is it okay for the pod across from Pok Pok to have beer, but not Cartlandia? Why are they calling this the "first food cart liquor license?"

I have to agree with the OLCC in there take on how each individual food cart will have to meet there rules and regulations which the majority of the 700 will not meet. "Cartlania" is a big fenced in area with carts, where most of the carts are free standing on the city streets and have no fenced in area. So for the mayor and Amanda Fritz who have never ever layed eyes on "Cartlandia" have no right to lump us with the rest of the carts is wrong. As far as neighbors close by is a farce too. The houses are much further back and won't be disturbed. Since "Cartlandia" moved into the neighborhood the prostitutes and rif raf have moved elsewhere. It has cleaned up that area and made it more respectable. The bike people sure love it there as well as many, many other people. Roger the owner as well as the cart owners keep a close eye out for any rif raf and runs them off. The mayor and his staff need to keep there noses out of the states (OLCC) business. They are doing a fine job of running there department and always have for to many years to even count. The city has put a "BEE" in our "Bonnet" and we will prove them wrong!!!!!!!! There not dealing with irresponsible people here, these are grown people with businesses. That's what is wrong with this country today, to many political people trying to treat us like kids and telling us what, when and where and I'm sick of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's important for the Mayor to focus on the pressing issues that drastically affect all of us (sarcasm).....you wait until that faux New Seasons lady becomes Mayor (foreshadowing), then you will really get screwed (understatement).

@Kat: I asked the OLCC that a while ago. Captured by Porches is unique because its mobile permits are to their brick-and-mortar brewery outside town. And other carts have temporary, event permits. This is the first restaurant/bar-style annual permit for a food cart.

Please wait...
