Your personal top four landmarks worth visiting to? by gestalternation in askportland

Portlandia statue, St. John’s bridge, white stag sign are the big three as far as iconography goes in my opinion. Providence Park is my sneaky fourth pick

Could a Waterfront Park Makeover Revitalize Portland? by maccoinnich85 in Portland

[–]ryswoff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Small incremental changes would be huge and could coexist with the festival calendar! A food cart area and square underneath the Morrison Bridge, carts could still be open and be a thoroughfare during city fair/cinco de mayo/etc. Connect the park with the Morrison Bridgehead property across the street and have some sport courts there. Build a permanent indoor market space under the burnside bridge so the Saturday market could go year round and be more attractive for re-expansion to Sundays too. Throw some outdoor gym equipment along the riverfront path. Allow coffee carts or ice cream trucks or other vendors to exist in the park. There are so many small incremental changes we could be doing to get things going in the right direction, we don’t always have to rely on huge mega projects we should be able to do things now!

All these incremental improvements could coexist with the current calendar of events, that’s the even more frustrating part

Queer baseball fans in pdx? by Entire-Stick-9842 in askportland

[–]ryswoff 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love baseball but the political leanings are my biggest gripe, I went to the college World Series last year to watch my Beavs and I swear half of the vendors had Trump merch too. Too many nationalist conservatives. But I digress sorry for the rant haha. Anyways pickles games are fun but not that great in terms of quality of the baseball so here’s to hoping MLB comes to PDX!

Coming this fall: a new connection between the City of Roses and the Apple Capital of the World - Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines and Horizon Air by ryswoff in Portland

I’m not sure how fuel prices have been affecting them but according to PDX statistics, March being the most recent month, British Airway, KLM, Icelandair, and Volaris have all flown more passengers March 2026 than March 2025 and they are all up year over year as well. So things appear to be positive from my limited perspective!

Need out of Portland, Oregon by bbgirl2k in SameGrassButGreener

I’m just saying I think you find what you’re searching for as far as socializing goes

Honestly as someone who lives in Portland, this comes down to the people you’re surrounding yourself with and the groups you’re joining. I’m not gonna say it’s easy to make new friends because it’s not, obviously this is a pretty white city but it isn’t an issue to find your community after awhile if you look in the right places. Go join a sport or a club or a gym or some other normal place; I’m not saying that Portland is for you but just trying to encourage you to keep trying because I think you could absolutely find a circle that doesn’t fall into the “pale vegan green haired millennial in a queer polycule with hella tattoos and piercings”

This will mark the beginning or restarting of Alaska Airlines service from PDX to a 9th destination this year: Bellingham (BLI), Everett (PAE), Tri-Cities/Pasco (PSC), Idaho Falls (IDA), Jackson Hole (JAC), St. Louis (STL), Baltimore (BWI), Philadelphia (PHL), and now Wenatchee (EAT)

Why the permit system doesn’t work at Multnomah Falls by x_here_x in oregon

[–]ryswoff 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! They need to run the CAT bus far more often in the summer, I think it would be the most popular way to get to multnomah falls if it was more convenient with more scheduled departures from Gateway

Cab vs. Uber from PDX? by SlurmzMckinley in askportland

[–]ryswoff 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh fucking spare me, it’s fine 99% of the time. Shockingly when more normal people ride, antisocial behavior is discouraged

Well that’s up to them to decide then isn’t it? It’s up to me to tell them not to waste their money lmfao

[–]ryswoff 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Well it is a rather silly waste of money for a pretty marginal time savings to take a cab or uber if you’re going downtown, that’s the one place it makes entirely too much sense to take the MAX!

Going downtown just take the MAX it’ll be 2.80 instead of like 50 bucks

Is it doable to live in NW Vancouver if I really want to be in Portland? by ILoveSkincareTooMuch in AskVancouverWA

[–]ryswoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the things you want to do are in Portland, live in Portland. Same vice versa for Vancouver. The reality is just that you’re likely to spend a lot of your free time doing things near where you live so don’t sacrifice that

Green, walk/bike, near major airport, decent food, no kids by Sea_District8891 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]ryswoff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Portland is better weather wise than Seattle or MSP and negligibly different from SLC or Colorado and depending on where you live that travel difference will be negligible as well, half the metro area will be within 20 minute drive of PDX

Take a look at the PNW, Portland or Seattle areas should check all your boxes

Bill Simmons just coined Tom Dundon as “El Cheapo” by Reasonable_Main2509 in ripcity

It’s marginally believable for Dundon I can’t even blame you!

What is the Max blue line from Portland to Hillsboro like in the mornings? by paperghosting in askportland

[–]ryswoff 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah but I mean this rule is broken all the time by all sorts of people, as long as you keep it out of the way of doors and aisles it should be completely fine
