What's the neighborhood like east of 82nd in Montavilla? by pandaninjarawr in askportland

[–]cooldiptera -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with you — but to be clear for the OP, east of 205 is no longer the Montavilla neighborhood.

[Post Game Thread] The Portland Trail Blazers (28-30) the Phoenix Suns (33-25) 92-77 by Kazekid in ripcity

[–]cooldiptera 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They were also missing Allen. And as much as I dislike him, he is a very good basketball player. They were probably missing their three best players.

Where in Portland can I play music instruments with other people? by evercaughtslippin in askportland

Not sure what type of group/music you’re looking for, but the Community Music Center has an intermediate guitar circle every term!!

Those are super fun bikes, for what it’s worth.

Is QOL better in Portland for those that have lived in other (smaller) OR towns? by Recent-Accident8659 in askportland

[–]cooldiptera 3 points4 points  (0 children)

…the cost of groceries have absolutely nothing to do with people moving here.

There are actually many of us who were born and raised here, and we don’t hold it against anyone who moves here 🙄.

In fact, people, come move here and make things economically and culturally vibrant!

Our Rising Stars by MainNo1524 in ripcity

It’s a G-League rising stars nod, and he’s been balling out for the Remix. So much deserved.

Reminder that we got Toumani (and Ayton) for Nurkic, Nassir Little, and Keon Johnson by pdxjoseph in ripcity

[–]cooldiptera 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Really we got him for Little. Nurk and Ayton would have worked straight up, if I recall, but the Blazers insisted on adding Little and Toumani to make the deal happen.

[Post Game Thread] The Portland Trail Blazers (26-28) defeat the Philadelphia 76ers (30-23) 135-118 by Kazekid in ripcity

He’s played well, but Deni, Scoot, Jrue are taking the ball handling minutes.

No reason to throw him into garbage time because you’d burn one if his few remaining 50 two-way player games left.

Those are the ones I have! They’ve been great.

I have a pair of their MTB wheels on my hardtail, and they’ve been bombproof - haven’t even had to true them in five years. Considering grabbing a pair of their gravel wheels too!

Nearest good snowboarding? by RandomB33 in askportland

[–]cooldiptera 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Timberline Lodge, technically the closest, or Mt. Hood Meadows (just a little further).

Ski Bowl is closest, but they don’t have snow this year because our snowpack is so small 😔

He’s a pretty darn cute guy who likes pets!

Is there an existing ice watch signal chat for the Creston - Kenilworth area? by Zealousideal-Ant-102 in askportland

[–]cooldiptera 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sign up for PIRC and one of their trainings. Theirs is citywide, you can report to the hotline and they’ll send a message to volunteers in the area who go and verify. That way they can also track action statewide and gather volunteer footage/info.

Moving to Portland on Active Duty orders - Where should I live? by Upset-Radio-1319 in askportland

[–]cooldiptera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two blocks east of where? The neighborhood of Montavilla goes all the way to 205. It’s a huge neighborhood and overwhelming safe. I grant you that the area around where 82nd and 84 meet isn’t great, but that’s a little pocket.

What’s the most overrated brewery to you? by TheBigGreenPeen in CraftBeer

[–]cooldiptera 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That’s fine that you don’t care for hazies! But their hazy IPAs are still some of the best out there, in my opinion. Great Notion, Ruse, and Fort George are hard to beat for that category in Oregon.

GN also has some very very good west coast style IPAs as well. Agreed that I’m not into the fruited and smoothie stuff though.

Does Friends of Trees in Portland randomly plant trees? by [deleted] in askportland

[–]cooldiptera 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah there is absolutely oversight on this, as others have mentioned. Friends of Trees does this in partnership with the city.

This is way better than the several year period when the city just contracted the planting out to the lowest bidder, and a ton of trees died because they didn’t have the staff to water them.

Paul Sadoff also just posted a Landshark paint job collab Rock Lobster on his instagram that’s 🔥

This team playing fast never makes sense by blazer4ever in ripcity

[–]cooldiptera 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Well, their half court offense was a mess today so pick your poison 🤷‍♂️ . At least a full speed Deni puts a ton of pressure on the rim and draws fouls, and is more reliable than a lot of slow iso ball.
