I spend probably too much time complaining about how I’m not sure I like Portland any more now that the city is becoming, in the immortal words of Mercury News Editor Denis Theriault, a “playground for finnicky rich people.” And hey look, these guys wrote a song about it!
I know it’s dangerous to romanticize Portland’s scuzzier, less bourgie past, but… I do it anyway. And I’m grateful that my rent only went up $50 this year.
Seriously.
I hope that guy got his hat back.
those stumptown employees sure are zany!
This is what Portlandia should have been.
Aw, isn’t it cute when middle-class white people who moved here from the midwest five years ago complain about gentrification?
Must be lonely being as cool, authentic, righteous as TWSS.
How about people who can’t walk there? It’s a damn obstacle course. They have construction on two sides of the same street. It should be illegal.
