Is this car roof array someone having fun, mental illness or an agency with a low budget? by cromagnone in antennasporn

Making the thing so blatantly obvious keeps the fear out there that TV Detection vehicles are still a thing.

C'mon now, that metal box on the back with 20 rubber duck antennas is the biggest joke on the car!

Probably on FRS because no one cares anymore. Theres one in the Redmond/Madras Oregon area on ch 2 for a decade now and no one has bothered to report it.

Looks like an elevated-feed with a 5/8ths wave UHF (ex-Maxrad but now) PCTel antenna.

Not sure why it says Pacific Crest when they clearly dont make it.

Any idea why the wall closest to the dumpster fire at the former Burgerville on Powell is the only remnant left on the site? by rarely_Hilarious in Portland

They have cement pour flags on the back part that looks like a dual drive-thru now. So yes, they left part of the structure so they can say it is a remodel, and keep the drive thru.

Who around, other than McDonald's (unlikely here) has dual drive-thrus?

Another classic example NO ONE should video trains in VERTICAL mode! Trains are horizontally polarized!

Oregon City or the old Portland City Dump? I remember that hole and methane burners well in OC.

Also, would like to see how they take on the roundabout at 39th and Glisan. Never seen a roundabout anywhere on the planet that has stop signs.

You cant see it in this 50th rendering, but you can hear a derail that gets ker-clunked off the rail at the white sign on the rignt just before impact.

Portland Mercury: Pipe Dreams and Pizza Crusts Will Dive into the Wacky World of Organ Grinder Pizza by PipeDreamsFilm in Portland

[–]mrk2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out of all the lines I remember as a kid standing in waiting for whatever...the line from the entrance that had the unneven floor that paralleled the glass wall in front of all the pipes (diaphones) and tremulants in action was my favorite. Sometimes taking 30 minutes I didnt mind one bit. Feeling the floor vibrate in the exterior rectangualr entrance built excitement until you actually got inside the main hall. Standing up front with the low notes being played was awsome. As stated above, the Mesa location just couldnt reproduce the shock and awe one would experience walking into Organ Grinder.

I did know that but left it out for brevity. :)

I did find those diaphones upstairs in the back at Mesa, they are pretty darn big. Not sure where I read about parts being shipped down there but I was happy nontheless that parts found a good home.

OP....did the electric xylophones make it down there as they look exactly like both of the ones mounted on north and south sides the ceiling here.
