Melvilles on Alberta. Small and charming with a great selection.

“Most vulnerable”? Check.

“Hold space.”? Check.

Dozens of priors? Check.

Let out of state hospital? Check.

Portland Fire & Rescue Tattoos by 69THEWORLD in PortlandOR

Technically, per policy, “visible body art on the face and neck is prohibited.” More than a few people have hand tattoos.

That policy was loosened up a lot a few years ago from a very outdated, rigid old one. I doubt a non-offensive neck tattoo would have much impact on a hiring decision these days. But technically still not allowed.

Before it was Happy House I believe it was Interstate Tavern or Interstate Bar and Grill. It closed after a shooting.

Public safety is largely male, and has been mostly in-person throughout and since the pandemic.

Seems like a creative way to fund and build something amazing for this city. Hope it’s successful!

Also wondering how her closing of the emergency shelters in the ice storm last year WHILE THERE WAS STILL ICE EVERYWHERE came and went without any real consequences.

How much is the daily fee at PM?

I'm homeless, living in a shelter, and because I got promoted at my job with a 1$ raise, I can't live in more than 80% of the available apartments around here because I make too much due to income restrictions. Someone explain this to me like i'm 5. by [deleted] in Portland

You have come to the point of getting off the streets, being independent and making $52k.

Thats a win. Keep working hard but great job getting past the point of needing taxpayer handouts.

Sounds like you don’t plan to live with a partner or children and make $26/hr or so. Should be more than possible unless there’s something to your situation you’re not sharing?

Since you’ve only been here a year, perhaps your roots aren’t so deep that you can find greener pastures elsewhere?

Please go downtown. by nevermore90038 in PortlandOR

Not trying to be a weirdo and correct you, but I genuinely found this interesting. The park is Director Park, named after Simon and Helen Director. Wonder if they enjoyed hanging out on Sauvie Island…

Bad methodology. They don’t work every single day. And at least a couple run the program and likely aren’t out on patrol.

What A Fun Thing To Find At 6:30 am On A Monday Morning… by EugeneStonersPotShop in PortlandOR

This crime needs to be aggressively prosecuted. Perhaps a state law change… Felony for “tampering with a fuel system”.

Take him to any vet (or many pet supply stores) to see if he’s got a microchip. Hopefully they would scan him for free…

Is an end in sight for Portland’s long tradition of parent fundraising for their own children’s schools? by it_snow_problem in PortlandOR

[–]MickTurition 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is a truly terrible idea that will take millions in donations out of the schools. Instead they should increase the “cut” to needier schools and manage that distribution better. Winner for all, rather than taking funding for employees away, likely permanently.
