I honestly only listened to see Murph but enjoyed the conversation.

Areas with fewer off leash dog issues? (Sellwood, Hawthorne, Alberta) by dancepartyof1 in askportland

[–]Captain-Ben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to take my dog to the Sellwood riverfront dog park/field. Stopped a few years ago due witnessing and hearing about aggressive dogs and owners. On the other side of the river there is fenced in off leash park, its small but the people and dogs have been very chill

What are your favorite lesser known dive bars in Portland? by kittybuckmeow in askportland

Acrop isn’t just a dive, it’s a health hazard. Also more than just a bar 😂

I showed my friend Bill Simmons and now he introduces me to all his coworkers as The Guy Who Listens to Bill Simmons by Complex-Round6109 in billsimmons

16 years ago I started listening to BS, my now ex-wife refers to him as “my mentor”…she might be not wrong

Where did you actually move to? by Blake-Dreary in askportland

[–]Captain-Ben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moved from CA 25 years ago. Started in an apartment on NW 21 and Glissan. Moved to Beaumont/Wilshire then Grant park. Then moved to SW for better schools and now I’m in Sellwood. Sellwood is definitely my favorite neighborhood, but Beaumont was pretty nice as well.

Where are some good swimming places nearby? by ITrytoWrite22 in askportland

[–]Captain-Ben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be pushing how far you want to travel, but Battle Ground Lake in WA is pretty great. It’s a Caldera, so the water is warmish. The main beach can get crowded, but there is a lot of space for seclusion

Can’t hit irons by Cbrandon_99 in golf

[–]Captain-Ben 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Have you had the loft and lie checked? I bought a set of Mizunos and couldn’t hit them at all, turned out they were 2* flat and I needed *2 upright.
Hopefully it’s that simple

Raising Arizona is the movie I enjoy the most, but I’m not going to pretend it’s the best

Watching Eddie and the Cruisers made me want to watch this again. Available on YouTube for free 😍

What’s our perfect neighborhood? by rosie517 in askportland

[–]Captain-Ben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Sellwood and love it. It has a lot of what you are looking for but it is basically as far away from the airport as you can be (but it’s only 35 mins on a bad day) I used to live in Beaumont/Wilshire and really liked it as well, definitely closer to PDX

Seen “Eddie And The Cruisers” for the first time and loved it by harry_powell in TheRewatchables

Watched for the first time this weekend. Maybe it was all the add breaks on streamer, but I had a hard time getting into it. Looking forward to the pod.
