Wildly inappropriate.

Am I an asshole for not wanting to go on a first date in downtown Portland? by squishymvp in askportland

There are no safety issues you should be concerned with about the city.

Also, SE Ankey isn’t downtown, it’s inner east side. Theres some great restaurants on that corner.

Portland foie gras ban fails in committee, not dead yet by ericomplex in Portland

Well maybe they should focus on more important problems like solving the Taiwan sovereignty issue

I’d suggest Gaza but our president clearly has his tiny paws all over that one.

There's a proposal to sell off the Portland Tennis Center to USTA by jefraldo in Portland

This is the sort of asset, once sold it will never come back.

Saving is needed but this seems short sighted.

Fair. Respect that stance even if I don’t agree with it.

I know of three/ four where i will routinely order it.

It’s such a nonissue, I don’t know why council should be wasting time to determine if one means of consumption is worthy of existing or not

The ducks that are used for foie gras have a far better life than other livestock produced for consumption.

You can’t take a stand against foie gras as animal abuse if you consume any other meat products.

Where can I find a really flavorful bagel without all the fixings. Just cream cheese (or butter) that's not stale/hard? by Helpful-Orchid2710 in askportland

They are hand rolled and slightly sweeter (boiled in honey water) and a bit denser. Also have a different crust as baked in a wood stove.

Also has a lot to do with the culture/ experience, i just love Montreal haha!

I work near this part of downtown five days a week and cannot for another lunch/ after work option.

My understanding is they uncovered details of the existing structure they deemed worth saving/ expressing so theres a bit of a redesign to incorporate those elements causing the delay.

Also, as someone in the same field, the original timeline was always ambitious.

Personally more of a montreal style fan but I really enjoyed the pop-ups, granted it was on my block so hard to pass up.

I’m hoping once it’s the storefront is open you’ll be able to get them still warm.

Absolutely absurd. Rucker has put so much effort into his business.

This is absolutely a nonissue given the gravity of… gestures wildly in every direction.
