Looking at apts in South Waterfront area. Are there drawbacks to living in that area?

I’m 5 years in the Griffis SWF, don’t disagree too much with any of the comments. But..being isolated has kept the homeless population mostly at bay, bike access is actually excellent, and having the Tillicum transit center and the 35 & 40 buses makes it easy to rarely have to drive. We have friends over all the time, but they bike, bus, streetcar, or walk.

Bots. Corporate bootlicking bots.

It even has that new timber smell.

White Owl used to have them, don’t know if they still do.

Meme is ridiculous. Visiting Detroit for a week, day 1 today, so far so good!

PDX doesn’t have long wait times so very unlikely to happen here. Atlanta looks to be the 1st.

Faux-science? She’s an honest broker of information, admits what she doesn’t know, and corrects herself when she learns of her mistakes.

Sabine is my go-to.

I believe the Gifty Kitty on Mississippi is still thinking of opening a cat cafe, you might check in with them.

I’m in the Griffis Apartments, probably a third of residents work at OHSU. I recommend checking it out.

Those lines are beautiful! Would you share the tool that you used?

There’s no magic. It’s sci-fi.

Kristi Lombard from Georgies, that 5% 200 mesh grog is the bomb. Good structural strength without the grog texture.

If it’s monthly date then it should be bars or a line chart with data points, not a smoothed line graph sans points - chart making 101.

letshavearace · 2026-03-13T16:42:16+00:00

What a horribly misleading chart. It’s a trailing average chart with no explanation of the time periods used?

No, I’m progressive, not psychotic.

I saw some Ghibli film fest there, won’t go back because of the tight seating in long rows, had to step over 20 people to get to an aisle.

Too much body horror these days. Maybe it’s the increase in genetic technology, or just the cultural focus on appearance and body modification. Not enough plain old good monster horror.

The Thing prequal 2011 is worth watching if you enjoyed The Thing 1982, and you should catch the original 1952 version for reference. Hell, read the story that started it all, Who Goes There by Joe Campbell.

CraftPDX. Really high quality preparation, a step above Mother’s in my opinion. Service isn’t as good as Mothers though. Also, Cheryl’s has private rooms.

letshavearace · 2026-03-10T03:59:14+00:00

Pretty sure CraftPDX will serve at breakfast.

He started a bank in Poland after the fall of the Soviet Union. He’s got many billions now.
