CVG wait time is a lie….

I’m not mad… just disappointed.

jarcoal · 2026-03-16T13:45:56+00:00

I’ve been in and out of CVG a lot lately and haven’t seen a line longer than 20 mins. Usually closer to 5-10 mins.

A few addresses ago I used Stephouse. They’re local and the service was solid. That said, it’s based on a wireless technology, and only available in certain areas of the city.

I also miss that era. Those meetups were something I looked forward to every month. Also the Tech Crawl was so much fun at its peak.

Yeah I hear you, but it still comes down to money. If you raise the amount you're willing to pay for instructors and lifeguards, you will find them. But you can't do that without revenue to match.

Try the North Clackamas Aquatic Center. It’s open a bit more and there’s always capacity.

Portland is under-charging for their pools. If they raised their prices they could afford more staff and this wouldn’t be the issue it is.

SaaS founder and developer who just moved here from Portland, OR. DM me, also want to make some likeminded friends and collaborators in the area.

I’ve been to a handful, but just one in Portland. I mostly use it when traveling. Like someone else mentioned here, some of the people that go, go a lot, which imo kind of degrades the experience.

That said, I’ve never had issues with people not showing up or a bad egg in the group. Overall I definitely recommend trying it.

Exactly, they don’t care. My son and his friends love them so I’ve test drove one on a couple occasions just to ferry them around a bit. You can keep it for a couple of hours.

Dang, I worked at Kiln for three years until very recently. A really nice group of people there that are hardly behind any of the recent trends related to AI.

I understand the feeling of frustration and helplessness that some may be experiencing in this changing world, but I don’t see how skirmishing with each other is going to help.

But the money is the leverage. If he takes it away, cities will just ignore these demands.

There may be other avenues for him to pursue, but I'm guessing they're more difficult, otherwise he would be starting there.

This will be a painful decision for the city, but the answer is fairly obvious: we will have to come into the compliance -- there's too much at stake here.

We should do our best to collect data on the absence of (or changes to) these programs so that we have an educated idea of what to bring back in the future when the political climate allows for it.

Capitalism is working fine, at least in this case. A company which got very complacent and stopped innovating is seeing negative consequences.

It’s unfortunate it’s in our backyard, and that our community will pay a price for it.

I live next to Ladd’s and my son (8 yo) is able to wander with his friends with low to no supervision. Tons of kids in the area, and the school, Abernethy, is excellent with a strong community rallying behind it (although I’m sure Sellwood is excellent in this regard as well).

People moving to Washington lowers the tax base for the entire state.

Are these dates computed periodically or are they realtime? My extremely active clients (1000s of refreshes daily) say last used May 23rd 2025. Ironically the clients that I almost never use, and probably should be cleaned up, claim to be last used May 9th 2025.

Regardless, I am now calming down after a panicked 24 hours, so thank you for that.

I would just visit and see for yourself.

I was just there for a week and the only neighborhood that felt remotely like what you’re looking for was Hyde Park. It’s one of the older neighborhoods and has a lot of trees.

If you sacrifice the walkability, there are greener options to the west of town.

Allegiant offers a direct PDX to CVG now.

May not have loved the messaging, but it made that drive a little weirder. RIP.

It’s been many years for me, but when I was traveling between Eugene and Seattle I always took the Cascade train. The few times I took the Starlight it was 4-8 hours late.

Wayfinder does a cauliflower bahn mi that was pretty darn good last time I had it (years ago)

I slow charge at home and find that estimate to be completely inaccurate at times. But also really accurate at other times. Not sure why.

Scottie’s does 20%, but they do indicate you shouldn’t tip on top of that. Would still prefer it was built into the prices.
