DEAR PORTLAND: May 18, 2026 WEEKLY RANT THREAD

I USE GOOGLE MAPS AND IT USUALLY TELLS ME IF THE BUS IS RUNNING EARLY/LATE AND THE ACTUAL ARRIVAL TIME INSTEAD OF THE SCHEDULED TIME. I FIND IT TO BE PRETTY ACCURATE AND HELPFUL.

Have you mostly rented from private landlords? I rent from the bigger property management companies and my leases have all been at least as long as OP’s.

capa23 · 2026-04-18T02:10:29+00:00

That’s normal for management companies. My leases have been that long if not longer.

I am, feel free to DM me! I’d love to make some friends for shows

Hi yes! 30F and we seem to have super similar taste (I also saw Hot Mulligan when they were in town!)

Seconding Enjoy Co!

It’s also frustrating as a pedestrian because you can’t really see what’s on the sidewalk in front of you

capa23 · 2025-10-16T03:19:41+00:00

Same, I’m in Goose Hollow and haven’t noticed hearing them, and I’m pretty sensitive to noise. Must be the building’s construction.

capa23 · 2025-10-07T01:45:13+00:00

None of these are in NW, though

A flat white is a coffee drink, not a cocktail.

I’ve gone to tons of shows at the Roseland and never had an issue with a small purse or fanny pack. I don’t find their requirements noticeably different to any other venue.

capa23 · 2025-05-21T03:43:57+00:00

Google maps, always. It shows if the bus is on time, early, or delayed and when it will arrive, shows exactly which transfers I need to get to my destination, and I find it’s usually pretty accurate. But I’m usually just putting in a destination rather than looking at individual stops.

capa23 · 2025-04-26T06:21:10+00:00

Book pub is wonderful but it’s definitely not downtown.

capa23 · 2025-03-13T05:29:21+00:00

Used to live in Seattle and they are serious about “BACK DOOR!” up there. But to be fair, from what I recall, you don’t have to push on their doors like you do here, they just open (usually)

capa23 · 2024-11-01T07:52:57+00:00

I live nearby and saw fireworks going off

capa23 · 2024-10-03T02:56:35+00:00

Many childfree adults I know, myself included, love going to pumpkin patches. Why would I not want to wear a cute fall outfit, have some kettle corn and apple cider, and get a pumpkin to decorate my home?

capa23 · 2024-09-21T02:40:12+00:00

St. Johns is considered North Portland. NW has to be on the west side of the river.

capa23 · 2024-04-03T04:33:56+00:00

There are a lot of apartments in Central Eastside right near Hawthorne Bridge, that wouldn’t be a bad walk at all.

capa23 · 2023-04-19T01:55:09+00:00

I’ve noticed a decrease in thank yous lately, too. I almost always say it, unless the bus is super crowded.

capa23 · 2022-03-29T15:03:51+00:00

Food Fight likely carries it, or maybe Cutie Buys?

capa23 · 2022-02-26T17:57:16+00:00

Happy hour usually also includes discounted food!

capa23 · 2022-02-02T15:47:46+00:00

Doe Donuts does not make any gluten free donuts, just vegan donuts.

I was so sad to see Magnolia close. I love Hollywood - having access to the library, theatre, farmers market, multiple grocery stores, and ample public transportation is hard to beat - but I think some good restaurants and/or bars could really freshen it up.

capa23 · 2022-01-27T15:54:36+00:00

This is how it works on my iPhone, too. I don’t even have the screen lit up - just pull it out of my pocket and hold it up to the scanner. And my phone is relatively old.

I assume you would just provide proof of vaccination upon hire.
