I see your point, but I still would've liked my clones and their clonsorts to be able to visit the 24 Hour Church of Elvis on its 500th anniversary.

Well by that point everything that has ever existed will once again exist simultaneously, I think.

I think I was around 12 when my mom took me to the Church. She was a busybody so she knocked on the door to chat with whoever was running it that day. We were invited in and Elvis (you know, from Saturday Market) invited us in and performed for the 2 of us. I proudly sported that glow-in-the-dark shirt for many years after that. Good job, Church of Elvis.

Now we progress to "Keep Portland Insufferable."

^^it's working!

Is insufferable the right word? There are warmer places, cheaper places, places with lower unemployment, fuck, there are place that are all three of those. If you're suffering through Portland, why not leave?

Yes. Our entire city is that kid now. :-(

Also, what's happened is the exact opposite of people being "honest." Thanks for nothing, newbies. Tell ya what...you finish turning this place into Every Other City In America. We'll find someplace else. And THIS time? We won't let the city marketing people and the corporations who fund them let you know about it. Love, the Former City of Portland.

Portland started on the freedom that a cheap cost of living provides. Now that rent is through the roof, and commercial real estate is even higher (vacant lot on N. Mississippi sold for $425K) there is no room for creativity. now everything has a corporate price tage and corporate risk factor. the idol rich people that can afford the close in housing and rentals that were once the nerve center of local culture are nothing but a bunch of spoiled posers. Going through inner SE on a weekend now is like a douche river. Portland is slowley becoming the next Las Vegas (once a cool town believe it or not)

I saw a dude in an Affliction shirt at Horse Brass last week. He was with a girl whose skirt stopped just below her I can't finish this sentence without offending someone.

Austinite here who transplanted a few years ago. I saw a dude with an invisible dog leash standing on a corner wearing a knee length sweatshirt and white children-sized sunglasses just for the hell of it. He let his crosswalk light change more than once because he just wanted to be seen. I thought, okay. Austin is the original, Jerry Garcia weird. We coined it. But Portland is the "What the fuck. You are just weird," weird. Which is entirely different. You win.

Please wait...
