Re: “It's Like the Olympics of Fixed Gears.”
Bicyclists, I love ya, and thanks for doing your part to keep Portland sexy and green. But HIGHWAY 99, aka Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, is a HIGHWAY. For CARS.
There are safe bicycle-friendly thoroughfare streets three blocks to the east of HIGHWAY 99 (7th Avenue) and four blocks to the west of HIGHWAY 99 (Vancouver/Williams). Cars expect to see bicyclists on these streets and adjust their driving style accordingly. Everybody wins!
But on MLK, aka HIGHWAY 99, car and truck drivers expect to drive fast because it's a HIGHWAY, and when they see a slow-moving bicycle on the congested HIGHWAY they freak out while trying to decide if they should slam on the brakes and risk getting rear-ended (because the cars behind them are traveling at HIGHWAY speeds), or make a sudden lane-change and risk a lateral collision.
Re: “Designers Pissed At City Website "Coloring Contest"”
There are thousands of broke unemployed graphic designers in this town who will be willing to work for free just for the sake of working.
The City will get so many entries that they'll have to hire a new unpaid intern just to deal with the deluge of submissions.
Maybe the City could save even more money by firing its entire staff and rehiring them as unpaid interns.
Re: “A classical music weekend that is NOT dull (promise!!)”
Jesus Christ all those programs sound dreadfully boring. Do musicians ever play modernist or contemporary classical music in this town?
Re: “Good Morning, News!!”
Wow, the concept and execution of the Roseys website is so bad it makes me want to see Portland fail. Good thing nobody actually cares about that shit except for back-patting circle-jerking advertising industry douchebags.
Re: “Anatomy Of A Lie...More Records Emerge”
OMG, a politician, of all people, had developed a planned-out PR/messaging strategy! Unheard of! What other unexpected atrocities will come out of the A.G.'s report? I will be clutching my pearls in anticipation.
Re: “There's a New Thicket in Town!”
During eight years of the Bush administration I don't ever recall the Oregonian using the word "lies" in a front-page headline.
Re: “Lauderdale Slams Memorial Coliseum Plan”
No, it wasn't designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, but it was designed by Skidmore Owings & Merrill, one of the most important architecture firms of the post-WWII modernist era, and probably the main proponent of the International Style in the USA.
