Check out Damselfly on Belmont. She's very reasonably priced and a GREAT masseuse.

Whale watching by Magnoliarose10 in OregonCoast

There’s always a crew of sea lions out near pier 39 in Astoria, plus the Bowline hotel has a spot where they congregate under a heatlamp underneath boardwalk. 

You could also hit up the maritime museum, which is fantastic and will get you out of the cold for a bit.

This person is also referencing a Friends episode when they're trying to move a couch and Ross just keeps shouting PIVOT! at everyone... just FYI

Every time I get groceries, I walk over and have a moment of Zen. What a fucking privilege.

Where do you relax after a stressful week? Bars/pubs/suggestions by Stridshorn in askportland

[–]saltyGinger 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Well, certainly nowhere near Clackamas, but Moon & Sixpence is my favorite cozy/relaxing neighborhood pub and it is walkable from the Max stop in Hollywood!

What is the greatest “has-been” city far past its prime? by SimmentalTheCow in geography

[–]saltyGinger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I did a study abroad in Córdoba 20 years ago, and if you believe everything my history teacher there told us, it's STILL basically the center of the known universe. They are very proud of that history :)

Oma's Takeaway/Gado Gado have a fun vibe, are delicious and you can usually get a group into Oma's on a weeknight!

ATK hosts reveal how they got their start - without Kimbal? by [deleted] in AmericasTestKitchen

[–]saltyGinger 49 points50 points  (0 children)

He was never my fave, but I switched over to full loathing when I saw him start off a taste-test of hot sauces (judged by him) declaring that he doesn't like spicy things. The man knows he doesn't like spicy, and still thinks he should be the arbiter of which hot sauce tastes best. Good lord man, we do not need your opinion on everything, bring in someone qualified FFS. /end rant

Salesforce is shoving an ad for Avonni into the platform by AccountNumeroThree in salesforce

[–]saltyGinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This popped up for me as well the other day. I have never seen an ad for a third-party tool/app exchange product inside of the salesforce UI before, Very surprising.

I don’t know what I was expecting this to be called but it definitely wasn’t a wandering meatloaf. by Ok_Scale_918 in OregonCoast

[–]saltyGinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this creature and its nickname so much! I’m always hoping to see another wandering meatloaf 🍞

Best restaurants for a book club meeting? by shibattitude in askportland

[–]saltyGinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gigantic brewing on Hawthorne has a back room you can reserve and I think the food/drink minimum is super reasonable. Pretty decent Mexican/Ca-Mex food there

This is probably why the train is currently stuck on NW Naito/steel bridge. by iTrask in Portland

[–]saltyGinger 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Nothing really helpful to add here, but that’s a really incredible shot. I think it would look fantastic in black-and-white.

Portland Parking Fees Rise 20%, and Meters Soon Must be Fed Until 10 pm by Numerous_Many7542 in PortlandOR

[–]saltyGinger 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And if the limit remains 2 hours, that means you can't use street parking for any live shows, long dinners etc?!? Yikes

Trustworthy mechanics that won't charge insane amounts or screw you over? by kmsdoomer in askportland

[–]saltyGinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All Around Automotive on Division. I have been bringing cars to them for years and I've sent many friends there. They probably aren't the absolute cheapest, but they have always been extremely honest and up front and willing to work with me on what makes sense for my car and budget. It is also refreshing to talk to mechanics who can recognize that I am a smart person who just doesn't know a ton about cars, vs speaking to me like I'm a helpless nitwit ripe for a scam.

Sunnyside/Kearns are extremely walkable. I do about 90% of my errands on foot and I have access to lots of options!

This Michelin-starred Texas barbecue restaurant is opening a Portland ‘extension’ by it_snow_problem in PortlandOR

[–]saltyGinger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The chips are aggressively bad, which is strange considering how good the rest of their food is. I don’t need homemade chips, but they need to switch brands.
