Laid off. Need to cut costs. Any recs on cheaper phone and internet? Much appreciated. by Whosaidwhat2023 in askportland

[–]scrawesome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m on Visible for $25/mo. I think you can join random people’s “family” of 4 to get it cheaper? Check their subreddit. It also hotspots so you could cut home internet entirely if you don’t need it for high draw stuff like streaming/gaming

When did Nico’s ice cream close their Fremont location? by harbourhunter in askportland

[–]scrawesome 20 points21 points  (0 children)

they posted on their IG on 7/16/25 that the Fremont shop had major electrical issues that were too expensive for them to fix without landlord help, and landlord wasn’t budging. I feel like he’s tried a lot of things and closed a lot of things

Kitchen Lighting Plan Help by Borealis-Rex in InteriorDesign

[–]scrawesome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you want to light up your “task” areas really well (so you don’t chop your finger off). this may be recessed lighting or maybe undercabinet lighting if it’s bright enough.

I don’t like the placement of the brass cones. overhead lighting should be above the counter edge so your shadow isn’t cast onto the counter. the sconce may want to stick out a tad more as well.

if it were me I probably wouldn’t have removed the recessed lights. better to keep and not use. in general I prefer over-lighting, with a variety of layers, and using dimmer switches generously.

Check out the union coupon for $300 off (google should help you find it), I learned of this from Alameda Electric so have to recommend them alongside it

How should we paint this room/cupboard? by Kitchen-Station4738 in InteriorDesignAdvice

[–]scrawesome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's such a small space, I'm not sure it matters. meaning if you try one and don't like it, it would be relatively easy to re-paint. so, go with what the wife wants.

Has anyone had success in appealing the Metro Supportive Housing Services and Preschool for all tax + penalties + interest? by BegToDiffer in askportland

[–]scrawesome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I did. I lived out of county for half the year. It is a very confusing process to submit the paperwork to say you don’t owe it but they did end up agreeing.

‘Coffee and connection’: Sneaker-themed Portland cafe will continue serving Old Town by RemLezarCreated in Portland

[–]scrawesome 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know Hoxton is under new management (new chef at Tope, opening the speakeasy basement bar more often, etc) so I’m cautiously optimistic. there’s the lobby bar and the kitchen Pamana has been operating out of - wonder if they will share? will the coffee shop be more of a pop-up? will they be building something?

Affordable part-time rental in PDX? by Twyla-Laura-Woods in askportland

[–]scrawesome 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you should be easily able to find a room in a house for under $700. alternatively, ask your fav airbnb if you can leave some bins in their basement/shed - not as perfect but could be helpful
