It’s a path that takes them past the cherry trees in Waterfront Park and within eyeshot of Chinatown, where freshly renovated buildings dominate the landscape. But […]

The City’s Terrified You’ll Access Its Decades Old Legal Opinions—So It’s Heading To Court
In the 1980s, the Portland City Attorney’s office shared three opinions with Portland city officials. It shared far more than that, of course, but the Multnomah County District Attorney has specifically ordered that you should be able to see these ones, along with a city attorney’s memo from 1990.

That Famous Bowie Mugshot: The Return of the Thin Weed Duke

Airbnb Mayo Bukkake
I own and work a janitorial/housekeeping company. We clean and maintain mostly airbnb’s (spare me, it’s making me money). Of all the weird shit I’ve noticed, NOTHING compares to the gross fact that the newer guests will keep using the same mayonnaise left behind in the fridge by the previous guests. We’re talking 7 or […]

Savage Love Letter of the Day: Same Old Question, Different Kind of Response
I’m a straight 30-year-old man, and I’ve been living with my girlfriend for 10 years. Yes, 10 years! We’ve been having this long, mostly monogamous and fairly vanilla relationship, only interrupted for half a year or so, years ago (we studied abroad for a while, met people, then got back together). Our life right now […]
