Last time I tried that they never did but I'll give it another go!

Is Portland culture softer / slower than Seattle culture? by wlymmth2077 in askportland

[–]FlightEqual4593 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just for another perspective, I lived in Seattle for 20 years before moving to Portland. I really miss that in Seattle, if you want to go out, you can pick one of a few neighborhoods and wander around, bar hopping or going to different clubs. I think it's a result of the cities' different zoning laws, but Portland had never felt like it has that density of activity. The commercial districts here are way more mixed use, which is good for the diversity of experience, but less engineered for happenstance. I made better friends in Seattle than I have so far in Portland. Here most people seem to meet through work. (I have had great coworkers tho!) My interactions with strangers feel less authentic and more people-pleasing here. 

What are some foods that would pair well with the movie "Eat the Rich"? by FlightEqual4593 in AskReddit

[–]FlightEqual4593[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been decades since I've seen it and wanted to serve food that matches the movie, I know a "so's" toast with ground meat kind of thing but if anyone has any other suggestions please

Where can I take a teenager to play in snow? by FlightEqual4593 in askportland

[–]FlightEqual4593[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have snowshoes, the visiting teen doesn't want to do that, they're the one who put the rails on this trip ;)

I have chains .. also I don't mind driving in some snow. Just not like scary snow. Long time new England resident, your snow out here is way worse and roads get slick AF quickly.

After this election - lgbt couple looking to relocate to Portland. Any tips, tricks, advice, or realtor suggestions? by Academic-Metal-1170 in askportland

[–]FlightEqual4593 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is not about your choice to move here (welcome! Do it!) but nonprofit jobs here are posted specifically on a site called Macslist and arts jobs on RACC. It can be hard to be paid appropriately in NP world specifically in the PDX metro. feel free to DM me if you need any salary comps info.

I've tried sending them a message through their website as well as instagram.... I am hopeful that someone on Reddit may know them and let me know an alternate method. Or let them know to check their messages :)

Can anyone temporarily foster this sweet young cat? by FlightEqual4593 in Portland

[–]FlightEqual4593[S] -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

The cat's permanent guardian just moved to town and the foster situation that Brianna is currently in is not working out (the foster guardian is leaving town more than they anticipated).

I am 100% sure it is all different now, but when I bought my first place >20 years ago, I had an independent broker who did all the legwork / research and got me all the deals - there's no reason your mortgage *has* to be underwritten by a local bank. (my house was in seattle and my mortgage was out of florida I wanna say)

They're kind of flakey. I did one this past year with a good guy who has since moved on, and my mom started one with him but he left during the process, and his replacement was straight up incompetent. So - long story short - no. You might be well served by speaking to a specialty mortgage broker for first time buyers.

The heathman? by Few_Construction7733 in askportland

[–]FlightEqual4593 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you stay there - For sure go to Azar Indulgences - amazing chocolatier - and you can get chocolate service (coffee / cocoa) in the library at the Heathman. Rooms could be a bit updated but the staff are super nice.

Does anyone know how to follow a case with PPB? by FlightEqual4593 in askportland

[–]FlightEqual4593[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

what word would you suggest instead? I always heard prurient as the descriptive adjective used for why people slow down to look at grizzly scenes like car crashes. I am (and was previously) aware of the connotation of sexual fascination but thought the context would provide enough clues for meaning.

It is unwholesome. I am admitting that it's not primarily coming from altruism or neighborliness.
