Portland started to go downhill when everyone put "Keep Portland Weird" bumper stickers on their cars. Real weirdness isn't and wasn't forced, it is about passion and authenticity. I'm happy to keep the tourists downtown, where they belong.

They cordoned off that piece of road because the bicycle lobby pressured city hall. Don't like it? Well, too bad because there's more of these "bike zones" in the making... heck, they're even going to permanently close down entire city blocks for bikes... and it's all being paid for with the gas tax.

Also, anyone who thinks that "Keep Portland Weird" campaign was made by Portlanders is delusional. It was started by transplants to attract other transplants.

The fences are so the grass can re-grow in between festivals, when everyone tramples it to death. Charge the vendors more, and you'll only have wealthier vendors, driving the "real" (i.e., can't make money off their art because it's shitty, but I guess that's more Portland authentic somehow) artists and vendors out of town even more quickly.

My critical eye tells me as soon as all the cranky native assholes are driven out of town, Portland is going to be a much more pleasant place to be.

I'm still devastated by the news that those contemptuous county judges are demolishing The Veritable Quandary in order to build another kangaroo court. Let's impeach them all before they break ground.

^ How often do you dine there Dread? I'm assuming not often since you supposedly live in Hawaii. How about you worry about some Poke restaurant on Oahu instead?

FlavioSuave, I assume you're the one who got suckered into that basement art show/Molly party in that other I'Anon? Lots of us cranky assholes will be here until we die, laughing at your pretention. Get used to it or go back to your home state.

Damage has already been done. Hard Rock Café demolished a wonderful, vintage Tiki bar to build in a bad location, then rebuilt yet again, in Waikiki.

I grew up in Portland, and diverged from the traditional native Portlander path to bust my ass through my 20s and 30s to own a house and a couple rentals. I twirl my mustache and giggle from the perch of my Chesterfield swivel chair every time I raise the rent, knowing I will be driving losers like pollo and offdutydog to Gresham and beyond. Portland is so much better looking ever since LA and NYC noticed it was cheaper and started the second wave of gentrification (was that basement show in "Alberta Arts" perchance, or maybe North Mississippi-adjacent?).

You grew up in Portland(sounds like a Tigard kid to me) to be the racist classist fuck that you always wanted to be. You obviously did not make your mark in Portland, you got out and got that job in St. Louis and that's where you own your house and one of your rentals. Give me a break. I bet your other rental is a timeshare! Do you even live here? But I do appreciate your attitude! Sincerely.

Looks like ODD is back on duty. Defending those who probably don't want, or need, his "assistance." Trust me ODD, you're not earning any positive karma points here dude.

People who grew up in Portland and are still here trade options, quietly, to keep up with you fuckers. Nobody is a loser landlord like your loser ass, Flavio.

I think you need about 10 more comments to make your point ODD. As of right now, you've only proven that you've got nothing better than mom jokes. C'mon dude, step that game up.

That's the spirit, ODD. Let your anger overtake you. I'll just be over here losing my way into an early and very comfortable retirement, when I will hopefully have time to go to more basement art shows.

It doesn't surprise me that neither of you have figured out the difference between anger and outrage. Flavio, enjoy your diabetes!

ODD,

First you talk about playing with my small penis, now you're going all fetish on me. I'm just not that into you man. Get over it.

I know what kind of freak you are. I never said I would play with your penis, sicko. It's your mind. It's a metaphor, I think. Legal dept?

Trayvon, I had to ask legal about this because what you like to do is actually legal in Washington State but I'm not sure about Oregon so we may have to be careful about what we say, OK?

ODD, If I'm reading this correctly, you spent 1.5hrs thinking of a weak follow up remark to your already weak comment. Thought I told you to step up your game.

Ohhh, and I just realized what you spent that 1.5hrs thinking of... my little metaphor.

That's more like it ODD. It's almost as if you put some thought into that last comment. However, unlike yourself, I used that time last night to sleep and not think about you.

Do you know what chief means, asshole?

Chief - noun

Note: Pay close attention to option 3.

1. The head or leader of an organized body of people; the person highest in authority.
2. The head or ruler of a tribe or clan.
3. Informal. Boss or leader.

Anymore questions Chief?

^ Utter nonsense dude. When trying to insult someone, it's best to do so in a manner where the other person has a clue what you're talking about.

Looks like you only broke your pact about 10 times on this post alone. You're clearly a man of integrity. And what kind of people are you referring to? People with IQ's over 50. Must be tough being on the outside looking in moron.

Now that it's clear you lack the reading comprehension skills of an 8th grader, there's no sense in engaging in any more back and forth with an imbecile such as yourself. Best of luck navigating the pathetic existence that is your life.
