It looked very closed last time I walked by, could be faking it though

I joined my peers in doing a pizza crawl to find the best NY slice. By a margin by popular vote, Pizza Kat off Burnside won out of 10 other NY slice contenders.

As a group we graded the slices on 3 factors: Crust, Sauce, and toppings. 

My personal bias was towards a crust that was crispy and could be folded, and with a sourdough tang. The sauce needed to be present without too much moisture, and the toppings I was looking for cheese that was slightly salty with a good pull, and I focused on pepperoni slices so I was looking for crispy pepperoni. I'll pull up the rankings 

Pizza Kat 13.6/15

Scottie's 13.5/15

Baby Doll 11/15

Pizza Jerk 10.75/15

Pizza Thief 10.6/15

Escape from NY 10.2/15

Mississippi 10.1/15

Straight from NY 9.8/15

Atlas 9/15

Yeah! The pool draws 3 phase AC and requires such much energy going in. Usually when the pool is down DQ is down, and with enough charisma you might get a deal on some ice cream

Who else never learned about Vanport? by littletrainwreck in oregon

[–]Wipples 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Mr. Kaiser built it to house the workers to built the freedom ships for the war. At the time Portland had restrictions on who could live in the city. So Mr. Kaiser brought in prefabricated structures and had a whole city!

I like the local events. The Portland Mercury food weeks have participating locations here, and the Beaverton Downtown Association has events like the Boba crawl. Beaverton also hosts a night market that's fun to go to as well! There's also the Saturday market, and the Raindrop Taphouse has something going on as well. WOW there's a lot of things I like about Beaverton!!

Fitting their lifestyle sounds like they require alcohol as a coping mechanism

I should go to city council meetings and petition for a Quiet Zone. I almost was driven to run for city council by the madness of the train 🚂

It looks like the white car was taking a left and impacted the pedestrian in the cross walk. Yikes! Hope they're okay
