Mexican weddings are so extra, and gay mexican weddings especially so

The 2020's will be the first decade since MAX opened without a new line opening

We used to build MAX lines and now we’re debating whether we can afford paint for bus lanes bikeportland.org/2025/11/07/t...

I’ve always been skeptical about these services that help you manage subscriptions, until I got an email today saying that the price of my subscription to the Register Guard was going up to $19.99/month… which is how I learned I had a subscription to the Register Guard.

I have SEARCHED AND SEARCHED for the local tv coverage of when Madonna landed at Inverness Airport for her wedding to Guy Ritchie, and was greeted by a bagpiper named Spud playing a rendition of “Like a Virgin”

Another SB 1537 Mandatory Adjustment project, this time for a 5-story affordable housing development on N Mississippi Ave, adjacent to the red house www.portlandmaps.com/detail/permi...

I really like Hachi, and I'm so pleased that they seem to be doing well (there's consistently a waitlist late at night on weekends) www.oregonlive.com/dining/2025/...

Whether or not the author of this article realizes it, the article is actually about how Mamdani’s campaign promises are not normal in Europe

husband just joked about me going to hell because I’m protestant and I’m like “who are you, jd vance?”

Trap Kitchen is reopening at SE 3rd & Morrison in the Tree Farm building, across from the former Bistro Montage / future Doug Fir www.bizjournals.com/portland/new...

As one source described it to me, the cancellations will be akin to a winter storm — that hits the entire country all at once.

Currently playing on spotify at my in-laws' house: "El Padrino", a mariachi version of the theme from the Godfather

For decades, a prime but isolated corner parking lot at 4th & Broadway in Denver's Baker neighborhood was too small for traditional development. Thanks to Denver's forthcoming single-stair code updates, KGA Architects is proposing a 5-story single-stair apt on this "forgotten lot"

Looks like the Times hired Ben Wyatt for the culinary beat.

What cover jinx

Update, a year later: I’m seeing BYD cars in Guadalajara really frequently. Last night’s uber trip to dinner was my first time getting into a BYD car.

Portland is now allowing single stair apartment buildings up to 4 stories, per the 2025 building code... with a giant caveat www.portland.gov/ppd/commerci...

I’m in a restaurant that has a video screen, with scenes of people walking through a city (maybe in Spain). About 1 in 10 people are wearing masks outside, and it’s weird how it easy it is to place this video in ~2021.

Nothing more annoying than when you have a good wordle streak going, and you lose it by forgetting to do the day’s wordle

This is the first sizeable development I've seen in Portland that takes advantage of 2004's SB 1537, which requires mandatory approval of certain adjustments (variances) to local zoning codes. www.portlandmaps.com/detail/permi... It will allow the 127 unit Apatheia development to move forward.

Remembering when newly elected Dan Ryan asked if a proposed high rise in the Pearl could just be located on a different site

so excited to finally get to ride the SW 4th bike lane

I'm hoping at least one or other of PacWest and Big Pink gets an observation deck added. Both seem to have nice big areas of flat roof and would have fabulous views. It would be the perfect attraction to take out-of-town visitors to, and therefore be great for downtown foot traffic.

Classic Dan Ryan: voting to refer the measure to the voters and then coming out against it, while [not entirely incorrectly] pointing out that the measure is only necessary due to the poor financial management at the Bureau he used to lead www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

This is still a very low price—far below replacement cost—but it's about 2.5x the price per square foot that Big Pink sold for. I do think we'll look back on Big Pink's sale as the bottom of the market (and Swickard a genius for picking it up at the price he did). www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

I’m curious what happened here. The article somewhat suggests that Hisserich was perhaps an obstacle to Wilson’s shelter plans, but those aren’t even being run out of the Housing Bureau as far as I’m aware?

Portland’s hottest speakeasy is… at the airport?

Just did the math, and if the parks levy passes, the property taxes on my home will still be less than they were in 2020, after adjusting for inflation.

Fountainhead Development is buying the PacWest building www.bizjournals.com/portland/new...

Between master plans for Willamette Cove (left) and the Portland Botanical Gardens at the McCormick & Baxter site (right), it’s not too hard to imagine the completion of 1.5 miles of the N Portland Greenway trail, between N Richmond and the University of Portland

In response to the looming SNAP crisis, Stumptown Savings is offering free Savers Club memberships to anyone who needs one. Here’s the story behind this decision, and how we can face this moment together.

Amex just opened its latest Centurion Lounge at SLC, and it makes me curious what the Port of Portland's plan is for the ~13,000 sq ft shell space that it's building at PDX between the D and E gates. Credit card lounge? A replacement Delta Skyclub? onemileatatime.com/news/amex-ce...

It looks like Bank of America is moving into the ground floor of the Meier & Frank building, which has been vacant seen since the renovation that was done after Macy's moved out. www.portlandmaps.com/reports/inde...

A second Cascada hotel and spa is planned, this time in Bend www.bendsource.com/culture/luxu...

Does anyone know of a good reason why green cards aren't an acceptable form of ID in Oregon for buying alcohol (beyond the fact that that's what the law says)?
