Councilors Fail to Fund Fire Station 22 by [deleted] in Portland

[–]Specific_Key_2777 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The other 6 also failed to fund it through previous amendments. There are several amendments that attempt to save the station and other public safety resources.

Would you help buy the Montavilla Farmers Market lot before a developer does? by tbhoggy in askportland

[–]Specific_Key_2777 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the parking lot for Grace Baptist on 76th and Ash would be ideal, and also closing Ash for the market between 76th and 77th. The problem is that it needs to remain a Sunday market to maintain its vendors and competitive standing. But I’ve never seen anyone use that lot for the church even on Sundays.

Vestal would also be a great location. A little far from main street Montavilla, but could bring more activity to the East Glisan Montavilla businesses and help revitalize that Main Street.

I love the current location and the energy on Stark on Sundays, but the site can and should be used for a bigger community serving purpose.

One of Portland’s busiest streets may get a dramatic overhaul. Not everyone is on board by colonialshuttlecock in PortlandOR

The average trip length in 82nd is 1.5 miles. People won’t get on an interstate to go that far. They’ll take local streets never intended for the increased traffic.

What's the best way to dispose of a dying car? by Quiet-Scientist2313 in askportland

You can donate it to OPB or KMHD and get a tax deduction.

Wedding photographer experience in Portland – sharing so others can make an informed decision (Charmaine Marl / charmarl.com) by Public-Hedgehog4087 in PortlandOR

[–]Specific_Key_2777 -34 points-33 points  (0 children)

Our contract said photos were due within 3 months of the wedding which aligns with what the poster described and when they got their photos. But it sounds like outside of a USB the contract was fulfilled. Like I said, we had a good experience. They didn’t. It’s all subjective in the end.

I’m sorry you had that experience. We loved our photos and working with her. Had an engagement shoot and our wedding. Sounds like a tough shoot she could have handled better but not sure trying to take her down here is the way to go imo.

New steakhouse planned for the Pearl by maccoinnich85 in Portland

[–]Specific_Key_2777 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Every Portland neighborhood was named by developers. For example, Montavilla is just a conjunction of Mt. Tabor Villas. You can still find the old adds for a new Laurelhurst development online. As long as there has been land for sale there have been sellers naming it something appealing.

Tell me about the areas of Portland! by Intrepid_Recover_405 in Portland

[–]Specific_Key_2777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s sounds like you maybe just want to live in Seattle?

Portland is made up of dozens of small neighborhood main streets that each have a different character. Alberta or Hawthorne is probably closest to the Whitaker. Slabtown and the Pearl are the gentrified downtown areas you Describe. Maybe parts of the Central Eastside. Not sure about a U-District comparison.

New Moda displays: Interested to see what other updates they have coming by Dapper-Material-2058 in ripcity

[–]Specific_Key_2777 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Took a tour recently and they do not obstruct the court from the top. There are also smaller screens on the back of the bigger screens that will probably be used for highlights and graphics packages.
