+1 for Radio Cab if you’re playing along with the rest of the city’s game of pros and cons in the wake of Uber’s invasion. The argument has been made that one should continue to use local taxi companies like Radio’s services in order to keep money in the local economy, and then there’s the matter of the Radio Cab Foundation, which is “supported, in part, by the drivers and staff of the Radio Cab Company in Portland, Oregon,” and does such things as provide Portland families in need, including the elderly and infirm, with Christmas turkey dinners.
They’ve also release a 2015 calendar to help fund the project. The 20 bucks you spend on it will equal out to one such meal—900 of which were delivered (by cab, natch) last year. You can buy one here.

Wait, $20 only buys one meal? What the fuck are they spending the money on?
It’s a full on turkey dinner with all the fixings, all the money is spent on the people that need it. In each box there’s a turkey, a bag of potatoes, a can of yams, green beans, or corn and cranberry sauce. Plus two loaves of Dave’s killer bread happily donated by Dave’s famous killer bread. Maybe go down and donate some time helping out instead of running your mouth about a local company that’s been here for 68 years serving the general public. Merry Christmas~!
