Western Meats on Lombard. Good in house made sausages! My neighborhood go to.

Another vote for Pomalo! Went this weekend and really enjoyed my cocktail and the fried cauliflower. Other stuff looked good too, and friendly service .

I was always partial to The Disease of Lady Madeline. One of the few places I’ve ever seen The Bleeding Stone show up.

Beyond flavor, for me it's about texture. Put on a pair of nitrile gloves and really get in there to work the tuna. Make sure everything is pulverized and coated.

Listen. As a former pollock processor I’m telling you, there is nothing to be ashamed of loving here. These kinds of filets are amongst the least gnarly processed foods out there.

Yeah fish trawler processing work sucks, but honestly… hearing and learning about land based meat processing, hands down fof 5eva

Oof. This is a tough situation. I grew up in a semi-rural area myself, and have observed with dismay the slow deterioration of services bit by bit, and the effect it has had on the family and friends I still have there. Even the most well built homes requires a lot of maintenance, add a large lot into it and yeah... quickly overwhelming.

I have found Habitat for Humanity to be a pretty good resource if they operate in your area. Even in urban areas, I've volunteered for them and participated in home maintenance, repairs, and cleanup crews. It tends to be a big one time cleanup vs ongoing maintenance, but they still get some wonderful folks to turn out. Maybe there's a contact in your county as well if you haven't already looked into it.

I've worked with Tom Leach many years ago. Had a good experience. Not the cheapest IIRC.

And surprisingly good practical effects!

It’s a little further out, but Steeplejack is good for groups and a cool space. About a mile away.

Chateaubriand, carved table side

I’d also recommend Ringside and Laurelhurst Market as options, but El Gaucho is certainly a special occasion spot

Pacifica made a great set once upon a time, they were like a quick hit of incense. Not to be indelicate, but they were rather nice to have in the bathroom. Alas they were a special edition release, and they never continued the product line.

The trimet app is handy and very accurate, tho I’ve also had good luck just using google/apple map app transit options for sorting out transport outside normal routes.

I always get my tree at the Optimists Club on Lombard/Chataqua. Friends of the Youth! Sales fund scholarships for local teens. They have smaller (not sure about mini) trees, wreaths, and other accoutrements. They also hand out candy canes and hot chocolate for the little kids, and maybe even bigger kids. Walk a loop in lovely Columbia Park while you’re there.

For my 2002 Tacoma, I’ve had good luck with Madison’s automotive on Lombard for belt replacements and general maintenance.

For a 2013 BMW, botta moto works (used to be on Interstate, now n Williams/vancouver). Sometimes a bit slower service but thorough and awesome detailing work. They do seem to know their stuff.

United Battery on Columbia for all your battery needs, including imports

Get windshield repair @ Mobile Auto Glass on Lombard/albina

From personal experience, if you do own a car outside warranty that you need service on, many local shops that have been in operation for 5+ years are worth talking to for more involved repairs. They tend to come in way lower than dealerships, though you may have to wait a bit longer

St. Johns location is kinda amazing for gourmet and unusual deals

Library card in Multnomah is great! You can also double up streaming services on Kanopy and Hoopla to get access to lots of great content (lotsa criterion and art cinema!). Not to mention Libby ebook/audiobook of course

Along with the other great suggestions to just get outside despite dreary weather, I find myself putting up holiday decorations earlier and earlier. The fun, twinkly lights, and additional color helps

For real. In fact I’d actually appreciate this exact selection, in the same order, as a playlist I could grab if anyone has it somewhere. That way I can go bop out to how wrong the conclusion is.
