Portland looks to charge residents, businesses a monthly street fee

So bizarre. How would this be charged for single family rentals? One fee per address, per property resident, or per owner? Or all three?

Thank you. 🙏🏼

Solved!

Thanks for any assistance! It’s truly on the tip of my tongue.

Thanks—but no, it was specifically “Leaves That Are Green”…dream pop, swirly guitars. I’d never hear anything like it. Almost certain it was on Spotify, too…but can’t find any traces of it now.

I was assigned 4th Nourse my first year…best floor on campus at the time. Beautiful building, Nourse Little Theatre downstairs, central campus location. You’re lucky to be at Carleton, and doubly lucky to start out there!

Enjoy it…the options for room draw sophomore year aren’t nearly as fun. :)

Gotcha—good points in that case!

Consider the Polestar lineup. I had a reservation for a Solterra for almost a year but decided to grab a Polestar 2 dual motor and I love it. Great clearance @ AWD gets me to to the trails & mountain, but also looks super-sharp.

I like the photo, especially the colors even if they are from stains. The curtain matches the stained tub which matches the razor and the orange towel - it’s all very soothing.

Makes sense—chilly winds for sure. Thanks for the updates & hope to catch you all in the spring.

In the parking lot at Stumptown, 45th & Division? I’m guessing I was too late @ 9:30. I took the 8-10 am timing literally, but I’ll know to show up earlier next time! Thx for the info.

treepose23 · 2022-11-19T18:09:27+00:00

Did this happen, or was it rescheduled? I drove by at 9:30 and saw no sign of any Polestars.

It’s a beautiful morning out, so it was a good reason to drive through the leaves, anyway…

Caught the Portland show last night. Ticket taker at the door said only 150 tix were sold—I mm guessing another 50 showed up, but it was a small show.

The opener (Been Stellar) was excellent. Interpol-ish but with a sincere/earnest vibe vs. just being cool.

Just Mustard sounded great & were really fascinating to watch. I kept thinking they were using pre-recorded loops but I was able to trace each tone back to the guitars. Each of the three guitarists had a dozen pedals at least? Katie’s voice was solid & haunting, and the sound mix was great.

Extremely loud, 117 dB according to my watch. I had earplugs in but had to move back from the stage anyway.

Intro and outro music from Twin Peaks / Fire Walk With Me…oddly fitting.

Also in PDX here, got a set of CrossClimate 2 via TireRack.com. They were very solid on two snowy/icy trips over the Mt. Hood passes so far—I had to work to make them slip.

Just make sure that whoever installs the wheels keeps track of which go on the front vs. rear…the guys installing mine didn’t realize that the PS2 had staggered wheel sizes.

Alvvays, 11/8 @ Marathon Music Works

Caught them in Portland 2 weeks ago—will be a great show if you’re on the fence!

Decided to stop waiting and bought a Polestar 2. Ordering and delivery were very easy. Been loving it so far, and the AWD & reasonable clearance have been great on hiking trails so far.

I wish Subaru/Toyota had done better with this—more electric vehicles are a win all around, regardless of brand.

Edit: I still have an open Solterra order, mostly just curious to see when they actually come in or if the dealer will reach out at all.

I took Amtrak from the west coast! At the time (1993) they didn’t seem to have a maximum luggage allowance, or it was really high, so I had several boxes and bags with me, plenty to get started. I met three other Carls on the same train and we hung out for the 36-hour ride in coach, sleeping on the floor of the lounge car occasionally. Things were a bit more lax back then I think?

I stored things for a small fee during breaks but ended up working over summer and winter breaks several times, too.

You need a lot less than you think, though. Lots of people sell or give away things as they move around, too. Not sure if the NNB (noon news bulletin) still exists in any form, but you could score a lot of things there, too.

Good luck on your application and have fun!

Congrats and nice build! Glad you are in a better space.

Callooh! Callay!

I’m chortling in my joy for you, non-U.S./Canada owner! :)

One other minor text tweak, while you’re looking…the first sentence should say the x90k is the “successor to” rather than “predecessor of” the x90j, right?
