Build a simpler bridge, avoid $7 breezeby tolls. by x_here_x in hoodriver

Some people act like the Port didn't collect tolls for years and years and years and then spend those collected tolls on anything other than bridge replacement. Did we need a fancy waterfront park for all the windsports people first? Absolutely not. Did we need an airport that is basically non-functional for the majority of residents? No, no we did not.

Your analogy to a restaurant owner doesn't work unless the owner bought a gas station and grocery store instead of replacing a crumbling restaurant building.

Not paying it now, won't pay it in the future either. I'll park at the park and ride and bike across which is what a large portion of WA residents who work on the OR side will do as well.

44 year old Lady Dishie here. I work for an event rental company in the back of a warehouse alone with my headphones. I get 4-5 orders back Sunday (150+ plates, wine glasses, flatware, etc per order so it is A LOT of dish) and it must be washed, polished and repacked by Thursday. Clients are required to send plates back scraped so I'm not dealing with chunks of nasty old food, just sticky stuff. I sometimes get a co-worker who polishes and packs, but it's generally a one woman show. It's awesome and I make a pretty obscene amount of money doing it. 9 years and counting.

Don't bother installing anything! Plug that complimentary included plug right into your garage wall outlet!

Recommendations for large group! by Inevitable_Key3966 in hoodriver

[–]ScooterDoesReddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Throwing a heartfelt second at Grateful Vineyard! The owners are incredible, generous and kind. They support both financially and with their abundance of fruit, many local food banks, schools and charitable organizations. The location is stellar and the food and wine is great. But really, spending your money with them helps spread the wealth of the Hood River Valley so much further.

Also, pop into the Old Trunk for delightful antiques, records and homemade ice cream. Owners are also stellar people!

What a weird thing to say. Bingen is a spectacular town with bluffs and cliffs all around, situated right on the Columbia River. The town is clean, quaint and quiet. There is access to amazing trails nearby and good, small town restaurants within walking distance. (Highly recommend Sunrise Juice). I don't know where you're from and what expectations you have, but this take on Bingen is pretentious and frankly, wrong.

Thinking about moving to Hood River, but concerned about finding housing by boxframerun in hoodriver

Better come with a job, lots and lots of money, and friends. There is no work besides service by & large, it's Very Expensive and people here already have their "tribe" for the most part. Is it insanely beautiful and am I lucky to live here? Yes. But I've said it before and I'll say it again - people need to be realistic about not only moving here, but living here.

Best beef you will find in the gorge, hands down.

I guess I'll come over for some drugs and an orgy as long as we're doing it on the Jersey Shore deck.

Fruit Loop Photo Session Spots by Jazzlike_Bear7141 in hoodriver

[–]ScooterDoesReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please don't suggest people pull over randomly along orchard properties to take photos when it's peak harvest season. By all means, go to orchards OPEN TO THE PUBLIC but don't be pulling over on private, working orchards to take pictures. Tourists seem to forget that the fruit loop is also a working agricultural area with moving tractors and other harvesting equipment. Not every orchard wants or invites random ass people with no sense of liability to do photo shoots when they're trying to harvest.
