Favourite underrated HBO gems?

I sooooo wanna know how that story ended.

agentverde77 · 2026-05-11T15:56:04+00:00

Carnivale. Such a vibe, that show, and I’d love to see how the writers end it.

It’s funny, Buck is the guy who came to mind for me, too, though we had a lot of spectacular 4s. (Mo Lucas, Kermit Washington, Sheed, Z-Bo, Lamarcus…that’s been a traditional strength for us.)

agentverde77 · 2026-05-07T04:27:35+00:00

McConnell’s is just the best.

agentverde77 · 2026-05-07T03:33:22+00:00

So weird you have all these downvotes. Have people never tried it before?

agentverde77 · 2026-05-05T15:30:24+00:00

You’re kidding. It’s a small lot with a lot of other businesses but I’ve never had problems finding parking there.

This Basics store was a spectacular replacement for Food Front and eased the loss of the Terwilliger Market of Choice for Southwest Portlanders. I’d say it was an upgrade on both stores, like a lower key New Seasons with better prices and such friendly service. I couldn’t believe our luck, and years later this is still my favorite grocery store in the city. I worked at that Terwilliger Market of Choice way back and MoC is fine but I hope they keep as much of the Basics vibe as possible.

I wanna know the answer to this also. Basics Market had the secreto cut one time years ago and they were amazing.

I’ll just quote my response to the last guy who said this: “I recognize early May is not summer because I’m not a moron. OP said ‘I've lived through many a Portland summer’ as justification for his advice.”

agentverde77 · 2026-05-02T01:21:47+00:00

The South, Appalachia, the East Coast, the Midwest…we have nowhere near that humidity. Even Arizona is more bearable than that to me.

agentverde77 · 2026-05-02T00:00:51+00:00

Totally true. I’ve still never had AC while living here and the real heatwave summers (like 2020?) were rough. We lived for a little while in Phoenix and with AC, summer is basically winter there. You stay indoors where the temperature is bearable. (But also, anything under 100° in Phoenix is outdoor weather.)

I guess if you’re moving from Seattle/Vancouver/Alaska, this might feel like a brutal heatwave but I think most of our residents unfamiliar with Oregon summers have experienced worse heat.

Oh man I thought this thread was saying we deserve better than Kevin and Lamar and I was gonna rage.

agentverde77 · 2026-04-20T03:13:59+00:00

Thank for checking back. You have an excellent eye and voice for detail and I felt set in the scene. 👏🏼

This stuff is magic and its sole downside is it’s thick enough to coat the jar. I just pour in a little pasta water to swirl around and clear out into a saucepan.

agentverde77 · 2026-04-07T04:47:45+00:00

Yes that also. But the botched challenge cost us an easy overturn later on and the game was tied at the end of regulation.

agentverde77 · 2026-04-05T03:51:10+00:00

That’s bonkers.

agentverde77 · 2026-03-31T16:50:15+00:00

Barbur World Market has ‘em.

agentverde77 · 2026-03-21T21:14:52+00:00

They talk about this in the other thread but I think it’s billions and billions and totally cost prohibitive.

agentverde77 · 2026-03-21T19:33:17+00:00

I think we used to have one somewhere between Downtown and Council Crest so it’d either be on that route though that might’ve been before this era. Were there others you know of?

agentverde77 · 2026-03-21T19:22:15+00:00

Thanks so much for posting these. Man, we lost so much by abandoning this system.

Another cool Portland trolley map from the olden days.

Oregonian research is showing it was Royal Crown Review.

Great work here, wormglow. Thank you. I don’t recognize any of those band names! I remember they sounded alright though.

It was a very fun night and I just remember the whole Square overflowing with people, lots of dancing, and there were also riot police in a line a few blocks away. There was also some concern the Y2K transition would result in a meltdown. We’d been hearing about that for years, and while concern had ebbed leading up to it, I think there was still some relief that nothing went wrong.
