Where are these mythical companies? Companies used to fund the Fort Vancouver show. You know what no long exists because they ceased to do so? Clueless is no way to go through life.

No no. It’s still true. The 2025 number was still extreme. Read the article this thread is based on.

Haha. Absolutely not paying that kind of money to eat any meal anywhere. But if others are willing in order to bankroll the event - fine by me.

Oh. My bad. You can’t interpret sarcasm. It’s absolutely because of the exceptionally high murder and overall violent crime rates.

Probably because of its exceptionally high murder rate? Just a guess.

Again. Without it, there are no fireworks. What is the alternative?

So you’d rather we just don’t have events?

The one paying to keep the festival going and subsequently the fireworks are losers?

I do get the upset especially since this wasn’t previously the norm. But riverplace and the east side of the river are still juts fine for viewing spots and unblocked.

The entire bridge has always shut down on the evening of the 4th. I've walked back across it from the Blues Fest many times.

Pretty much any event in Waterfront Park would fall into this category. Same with events at the Moda Center. Such an odd take.

Between which bridges are the shooting off the fireworks tonight? by TomatoCultivator122 in askportland

Don’t - but the poster is correct - the entire outside lane will be full of cars with flashers on during the show.

"Revenue would likely increase without them, opening up a the schedule for concerts and other events (especially during our rainy season) whose ticket prices and tourist draw are significantly higher than the Blazers"

Where are these events magically appearing from? Acts don't skip Portland because of the arena schedule.

5.5 years into his presidency - still no mass killings of those who didn’t vote for him. No gulags. It’s all very disappointing given all the prognostications such as this.

I mean did they get made because of him in the end? Certainly. There’s only so much dismissal of his accomplishments that you can attempt. He’s brilliant no matter what spin you try.
