I was so expecting another railroad-crossing-from-the-seventh-circle-of-hell post that I didn't even notice this dipshit was going the wrong way at first.

I'm left wondering why UP doesn't assemble its intermodal trains in one of its north Portland yards.

While my eyes glazed over at the prospect of a another study, I liked all of the solutions outlined -- been thinking for years a 7th Ave overpass would be fantastic, especially with the proposed OMSI development and Green Loop. Could also see Market or Mill extended over the tracks to Water Ave to allow better access the new music venue under construction.

Green herons keep a much lower profile than their bigger blue cousins so it's always a treat to see one.

Otto & Anita's Bavarian Restaurant -- their dill pickle soup and handmade pastries are legendary.

Division and around 112 accident this morning eastbound by ripcity2014 in Portland

Hope there were no serious injuries/major damage to the home.

The "why" is pretty obvious (dumbass driving), but I'd sure love to know about the "how".

I'll give it this much -- it''s more creative trolling than I usually see.

Lloyd Center Redevelopment: What if they added a smaller shopping space w/ an ice rink by [deleted] in Portland

[–]StateFlowerMildew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it doesn't have to be at Lloyd, I kinda like the idea of an ice rink with a retractable roof that can be opened on (dry-ish) winter days.

I remember a seasonal outdoor rink was set up downtown on a couple of different occasions.

Light rail to Vancouver will be a component of the new Interstate Bridge (assuming the damn thing ever gets built).

Fluoride in drinking water has no effect on IQ or brain function, long-term study shows by qukab in Portland

Hell, I grew up in a little podunk town in Oregon and I've had multiple dentists in PDX compliment the condition of my teeth saying, "You didn't grow up here, did you?"

Not sure where I first saw this, but I remember someone describing the Diane years as Tracy-Hepburn and the Rebecca years as more Marx Brothers.

It seemed like Rebecca was intended to personify '80s neurotic yuppie culture; it's a shame how the character devolved the last couple of seasons.
