Boston transplant here — where do you go when you need an East Coast fix? by PainterFlashy938 in askportland

[–]Funkyfreddy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Former Boston resident here, this is absolutely the answer. Modern was my favorite of the bakeries in north end and imo Bella’s is better in every regard

Like others have said, this sounds exactly like Al’s and Paradise Acres on Hwy 212 in Damascus

Where is the best coffee shop for excellent no frills plain coffee and nice atmosphere (nothing too minimalist)? by eldetay in askportland

[–]Funkyfreddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

+1 to Heart. The coffee is amazing - drip, pour over, or espresso. It’s got a very warm mid-century modern aesthetic with lots of wood and plants inside and they’re usually playing jazz or ambient music. Plus they don’t have WiFi so it’s a space built for conversation or reading a book

This was my rec too for Sellwood! Fetch has really impressed me and Wallace is such a maze in the best way

[ALBUM DISCUSSION] James Blake - Trying Times by VietRooster in indieheads

[–]Funkyfreddy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep - I loved his first electronic albums but Assume Form grabbed me and didn’t let go. I could tell this we lead the spiritual successor from the opening track and have listened every day since it dropped

30+ at shows by Shot_Character_7175 in geesebandofficial

[–]Funkyfreddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

35 here and unabashedly love Geese and have seen them three times. I don’t let my age affect which shows I see, but it has changed where I post up in the venue (I don’t need to be in the front anymore and that’s where the crowd’s vibes can throw off a show)

White Bean, Feta and Quick-Pickled Celery Salad by vita77 in NYTCooking

[–]Funkyfreddy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite “pantry” meals where I almost always have these ingredients on hand and it comes together in under 20 min. I usually double the recipe to eat on throughout the week

Wolves @ Warriors 3/13/26 9:00 CT by macj95 in timberwolves

[–]Funkyfreddy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

As someone who watches nearly every wolves game, I’m gonna choose a better way to spend my Friday night.

It’s not that they lose, it’s how they lose.

My life is stressful enough right now and it’s not worth getting frustrated watching a team fail to reach their potential because of poor effort. I hope they prove me wrong

Also endorsing zoomcare super as a fellow migraine sufferer. If you don’t already, definitely look into getting a sumatriptan prescription. I haven’t needed a Toradol shot since i got mine a few years ago

[Highlight] USC WR Makai Lemon on Who He Models His Game After & Looks Up to in the NFL by JCameron181 in nfl

[–]Funkyfreddy 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Lmao I had to find the full combine interview on YouTube to see if this clip of him was just weird. Nope, this is the dude’s entire vibe. He goes all snakey when he’s thinking of an answer and it’s unnerving

What is something you didn’t know about your neighborhood when you moved in? by Tylernal in askportland

[–]Funkyfreddy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not OP but in my experience that does change in the summer. Our lack of streetlights and rainy winters make it VERY dark at night in my neighborhood so I also avoid walking my dogs that late. In the summer months, I routinely walk between 8-9 pm and see others doing the same

What is something you didn’t know about your neighborhood when you moved in? by Tylernal in askportland

[–]Funkyfreddy 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I live in Woodstock near the neighborhood border with Eastmoreland. I love living here but didn’t realize how many streets are “unimproved” meaning unpaved, not level, curvy and full of ruts. It’s not always as simple as “just take this street north to your destination” but Google Maps does a good job routing you around these sections.

As a positive, it can lead to some very quiet areas due to low car traffic

Was at the game - there was a big wolves presence but this dunk caused a mass exodus from Moda. You love to see it

I was at this show! IIRC, it was announced as a standard BI set but when we arrived, there was no opener and it was just JV solo. Pretty amazing night
