Weird to miss the robber barons of yore, but at least Carnegie built libraries. He didn't buy the publishing company and threaten to take all the books unless the government built him a better library...

I'm not sure granting anonymity to let the Blazers management have better bargaining positions is really in line with best journalism practices.

I’m just a really big fan of public transportation 🏳️‍🌈

MULDER [slapping down plane tix]: Hope you packed your rain coat, Scully. SCULLY: Seattle? Mulder it's the weekend, what- MULDER [handing her a file] Confirmed sightings, Scully. This is big SCULLY [eyes wide]: My God Mulder, what am I looking at here? MULDER: The locals are calling it.. JIMOTHY

All my homies take public transit to the Pride Parade ✨ (I just met them)

Holy hell Katie Wilson is on fire here.

Incredible work

This is a damn good question. @oregonian.com letter writers appear to have a better grasp of the policy questions regarding Moda Center renovations than its editorial board members or columnists. www.oregonlive.com/opinion/2026...

🟢🇪🇸 BREAKING: The Portland Timbers are set to name Marti Cifuentes their next head coach, per sources. Timbers like Cifuentes for attack-minded philosophy and tactical sophistication. Previously with Leicester who won 1 of 15 after they fired him and got relegated www.nytimes.com/athletic/744...

“The other issue is the sometimes lascivious behavior that unfortunately takes place at many clothing-optional beaches.” Lascivious? Look, we can have a convo about behavior at Rooster Rock that doesn’t make gay people sound like sexual deviants to be feared (especially during Portland Pride).

Really funny watching the Chris Stapleton concertgoers walking to Providence Park from their parking spots in downtown and NW. They coulda have a free ride to the front door on Trimet! If only cowboys were brave enough to ride public transit.

If the city wants to subsidize IATSE Local 28 workers getting better stage gear . . . sure, why not. But lack of equipment isn't the reason major acts skip Moda Center dates. It's because few can fill 10,000+ seats in a market our size. That's why Live Nation is betting on the 3,500 seat Steelehead.

What this article fails to mention is that the owners of Pink Rabbit opened another bar directly nextdoor, Fools and Horses, that seems to have found more success, particularly among a younger crowd (like my friends and I) “Barmageddon” or self-inflicted competition?

This is the Oregon Legislature's fault. Tell your state reps and @tinakotek.bsky.social to fund transit in the 2027 session.

This sucks. I take the Green Line every Tuesday morning to go to PSU and the train is always full. Transfers add a ton of time and inconvenience to a trip. Still shocking this is happening while the legislature says okay to highway expansions we also don’t have $$ for.

Our 25th anniversary is this Monday, July 20! To celebrate, we'll be out at the Central Library stop with free coffee and plenty of free streetcar swag. Come by so we can thank you for riding! 🚃🥳🎉

Looks like the old McCormick & Schmick's space has a new tenant: Cay Bar & Grill Restaurant. They will serve Vietnamese food. 350 seats in the restaurant with 220 outdoors. Huge. 309 S Montgomery Street. #portland #restaurants #bridgetownbites

I’m excited about three new businesses opening in NW Portland soon. Here’s a look:

An investigation by the city auditor's office into Portland Mayor Keith Wilson's mayoral campaign coffers found that Wilson accepted donations above the city’s campaign finance cap of $579 per donor three times.

“The incident occurred in May when the Gervais Police Chief responded to a complaint at the neighbor's home. She said Pennise would repeatedly direct racial slurs at her and her family and threatened to kill them almost daily.”

The Safer Portland initiative is 1 step closer to Nov ballot w/63k+ signatures. Elections offices are verifying signatures, but @orsecretaryread.bsky.social is also reviewing 77 complaints filed against the initiative for alleged legal missteps, including a new one filed Tuesday.

Instead of depriving a million Oregonians of medicine perhaps we could cut a single ODOT project.

Brickdiculous, the local indie Lego store that just helped us pack our XOXO Lego kits, are running a crowdfunding campaign to help with the costs of their impending move from Lloyd Center to Pioneer Place: fundrazr.com/brickdiculou... Limited edition Lloyd Center Lego set anyone??

Love this idea to activate another publicly-owned venue in the off season! Imagine skating at the coliseum with the big curtains open and a view of the city.

We're happy to say that the Portland City Council voted 11-0 to deny both appeals to the Lloyd Center master plan today, with no modifications to the conditions on the plan. Please help us say thank you by sending an email to all the councilors who voted yes on jobs, transit, and housing today:

COUNCIL VOTES UNANIMOUSLY TO DENY BOTH APPEALS WITH NO MODIFICATIONS. the lloyd center master plan is tentatively approved!

It’s like watching the Portland Timbers play in the World Cup, and not in a good way

Putting the “park” in Providence Park! I love seeing our publicly owned stadiums open up for more events and uses. More please!

Demolition permit issued for Uniqlo's move into the Fox Tower. They're taking over the former Banana Republic space and the adjacent Pielogy space www.portlandmaps.com/detail/permi...

Fieldworks is crawling all over First Thursday in the Pearl tonight asking people to sign in support of faster emergency response times. I made one petitioner stumble over their words when I said their campaign was under investigation for misleading voters. “bUt iTS nOt!!!” Gimme a break 😒

If anyone ordered a large pizza from Pizza Kat today but didn’t get said pizza, it’s because Uber Eats delivered it to my apartment instead. My condolences.

A lot is discussed about the city's decision to buy Moda for $1 in 2024, but that was set in motion in 1995. The agreements signed by the team & city in '24 addresses relocation. The team cannot pursue relocation w/ NBA through Oct. 2030 w/o city approval efiles.portlandoregon.gov/recordhtml/1...

The mayor lobbed insults not just at councilors, but at one of the most comprehensive & influential sources of info on the upcoming Moda Ctr deal. He called the Blazers fan an "opportunist" but said the billionaire demanding a publicly-funded $600M arena makeover seems "fair, firm," & "friendly."

My landlord owns my apt building and maintains it, but it’s within my purview to furnish it, put up curtains, make it a comfortable living space. The Blazers are a tenant like me, so if they want upgrades beyond basic maintenance (like luxury suites and amenities), that’s their cost to bear.

I think one more “Slow the Flock Down” yard sign will fix this 😒

Bentley’s, you never fail me 🫶

Cleveland's pro sports stadiums continue not to pay for themselves. Three decades later, and government officials are still searching for ways to cover their financial losses.

I momentarily became a grumpy old New Yorker when Henry Higgins told me they sold out of bagels (at noon!). All I gotta say is Kornblatts never left me hungry 😒

How about we don’t literally pave paradise and put up a parking lot. Washington Park has a free shuttle, bus, MAX, multi-use paths, and is accessible by rideshare in addition to plenty of parking spaces. @councilorgreen.bsky.social @councilorclark.bsky.social @councilorzimmerman.bsky.social

A denial of the master plan won’t prevent the Lloyd Center from closing, but it would delay plans for the center’s redevelopment

you know what else we could with the billions of dollars that ODOT want to spend on the Rose Quarter / IBR? How about a wholly integrated regional passenger rail network? i finally got my hands on a high level feasibility report Metro put together last year: ti.org/pdfs/MetroRe...
