Re: “Salem Inmates Can No Longer Receive Letters”
Having spent 18 days there myself, I agree with you. Also, if you're writing a letter to an inmate, don't write it on the back of your 1993 Gary Larson "The Far Side" page-a-day calendar. Some of the screeners will assume you've dipped them in LSD or something.
Re: “$60 Cover Scares Off Some at Cannabis Cafe Opening”
Not sure if this has anything to do with anything:

"Dearest dancing queers and allies,
I lament to inform you that Rumpspankers has gotten their liquor license revoked by the OLCC as of today and therefore Fruitcake will be postponed until further notice. We love and honor your support! Needless to say, we’ll be back soon!
Stay tuned,
Fruitcake Xxo"

As uncredited pedestrian #7 in Body Of Evidence, I take offense at your "no good movies are filmed in Portland" line.

Although this complaint is dated 9/29/09, it probably won't be the last.
Re: “So. What Do Neighbors Think of the Pot Cafe?”
This kind of reminds me of the Mexican restaurant that took over in the Golden Harvest Bakery property on 13th and Hawthorne (now Thai Spoon). Before opening, the owners invited us neighborhood association types in one evening to address concerns about noise, parking, etc. After dodging a few questions about how they would control the patrons of their proposed 150-strong dance parties on Friday and Saturday nights, one of the owners declared something along the lines of, "This is my business, and there's nothing any of you can do about it." Despite the complimentary snacks, the meeting kind of went downhill from there.
I think that place lasted about six weeks.
Re: “Portland's Newest Joint”
Darklady,
I was quoting an article I read on yelp dot com that was linked to on the Portland Sentinel's website. I am not the author of the above quote. Perhaps I should have made that more clear in my original post.
Cheers.
Re: “Portland's Newest Joint”
And from yelp dot com:
As another reviewer mentioned, they have gone through some changes in the past few months, including closing down to do renovations. I watched as they filled dumpsters with drywall and various other things, imagining big changes inside the restaurant. When they reopened and looked very much the same, I was perplexed. I asked someone in the neighborhood about it, and they told me that the renovations involved adding small backrooms for "private parties, if you know what I mean," which I didn't. Or at least I didn't want to just go by some rumor. I was told that they were hosting all sorts of fetish and orgy-type after hour parties, thrown by someone called The Dark Lady. I googled both Rumpspankers and the Dark Lady and lo and behold found advertisements for just such events, where guests could "indulge in a sex positive, GLBT, straight, poly, mono, swinger, kinky, vanilla, 18 and older friendly environment while enjoying a tasty meal from Rumpspankers" and enjoy "Safer Sex Supplied Play Spaces Upstairs" in the historic building that also houses a RESTAURANT that already has issues with CLEANLINESS.
