We did not agree on every issue. But today, we all mourn the passing of a leader who provided a lot to the community.

this got me curious to check the data and don't look now but pdx is seeing a noticeable uptick in permitting since last year

New gay bar Camp is now open where Scandal’s used to be

Have you tested your smoke alarm lately? We recommend testing them once a week and you should have one installed per floor of your home.

For those who don’t know who she was, the quotes are worth a read

with a few changes to local building codes and state directives on local zoning, oregon could begin to build hundreds of these beautiful, affordable, accessible multifamily homes around every major transit station in the greater portland region. all eyes on the 2027 legislative session

“Can Count Binface win the Clacton by-election?” is now something that I’m seriously invested in

Proud of all of our UO Portland student teams for their award-winning work.

New by me for Sightline

At the Legion of Honor, no less!

Aperitivo spot Bar Noto will open tomorrow; JJ's Bar opens Friday. Richmond Club is coming this month (we have an interview with them publishing soon), Bar Scorpio also hopes to open this month. My-O-My has a newish owner making an effort. Tbird, yes, and a fairly quick process opening.

And to check in on the original 2024 "Barmageddon": Crush > Peacock Houston Backlight > Rhinestone XO Bar > Matsunoki Ramen Cereus > Via Chicago Apex > Nevermind There Be Monsters > Cult Classics Cascade Brewing > Heart Coffee HQ (non-retail) Only Tabor Brewing & Sissy Bar still empty by my count.

Thunderbird is now open where The Uncanny was; a liquor license application has gone in for The Richmond Club in the former Richmond Bar space; Langbaan is moving into the old Bar Casa Vale space.

Looks like the Slabtown neighborhood park is finally moving forward; Portland Parks & Recreation has scheduled an Early Assistance meeting www.portlandmaps.com/detail/permi...

The only question in front of City Council today is “was the Design Commission correct that the Lloyd Center master plan meets the applicable design guidelines?” I’ll be disappointed if the council doesn’t vote 11-0 that it was. Every other talking point is distraction.

Sip & Forage, the food cart pod at the former Wells Fargo branch at SW 5th & Hall, will open in August (albeit without the planned bar in the building itself). www.bizjournals.com/portland/new...

Yes, but Oregon’s problem isn’t growth over the last 15 years, which was heavily weighted to the first 10 of those. Right now Oregon is losing jobs, at a time when almost every other state is gaining them.

Taking away power from the people we elected, and giving to an unelected board, is pretty bad actually

The IMF, every 10-15 years.

Money must be tight at Willamette Week

<clears throat> assuming the USMNT are the only international soccer team to benefit from FIFA corruption is yet another example of centering the imperialist American experience at the expense of the rest of the world. learn about FIFA's proud global history of shady dealings. do the work!

Today was definitely a day where I got the wordle by sheer luck Wordle 1,842 6/6 🟨🟨⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟨🟨⬛⬛ 🟩⬛⬛🟨🟨 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟨🟨⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Took my Scottish nieces and nephew to Kah-Nee-Ta today, and realized I may have made a strategic mistake in telling them we were going to the desert, after I started getting questions like “where are the cactuses?” and “why are there no camels?”

So I wonder if Sejal Hathi and her husband Sheel Tyle, minority owner of the Blazers, are staying in Portland? www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

Made a mistake a parked my biketown _just_ outside the home area… but I what on earth is the logic of prohibiting people from cycling to a park and locking at the bike racks the city provides?

There’s a lot that I agree with in this Oregonian editorial, but the idea of closing Memorial Coliseum is a terrible one. It just had a very large renovation done, that would allow it host a lot more events.

Nina Totenberg: “SAMUEL ALIT—shit shit sorry sorry sorry”

Away Days’ Soccer Fest at the old US Bank in downtown is a great place to watch the World Cup 🇲🇽 - 🇪🇨

The PSU site is just a much better option, and the outgoing council should have chosen it in 2024. Even putting aside a multi-year closure of the Keller, a 200' x 200' block just isn't big enough for a 3,000 person capacity Broadway-capable theater. www.oregonlive.com/living/2026/...

I wonder why they're considering the project complete _today_? Most of the new terminal has been open since early spring, but work on a few final projects (remodeling baggage claim; reopening gates B1, C3, D3, E1 and E2; restrooms at former Alaska Lounge; etc) will extend into early next year.

What gives? Even in the easiest times it's a tough business with a lot of people who want to give it a try. At least one of these spaces (former Uncanny) already has a new tenant lined up. www.oregonlive.com/dining/2026/...

I hope lots of people take advantage of this incredibly poor use of their points, so that I can keep redeeming my points for long haul premium cabin flights at like 4x the value.

The tillamook county fair literally has more rides & bigger crowds for the pig and ford races, which is a race where people race model t fords while holding a pig. I cannot stress enough to you that I’m not making this up

It seems to me that the risk has never been that the Trailblazers leave Portland before 2030; it’s that in 2027 they start serious planning to leave in 2030.

Mel Brooks has been around for 40% of the US's existence.

When you get to PoMo camp through sheer incompetence. It is kind of intriguing, ngl

I've had to explain to quite a few people in the US and Mexico that under no circumstances do Scottish people support England once we're eliminated

In one direction, Retropolitan will be a five minute walk to the James Beard Public Market. In the other direction, it'll be an eight minute walk to the Saturday Market. www.oregonlive.com/retail/2026/...

My former member of the Scottish Parliament...

Zoom chat just updated today and the new emojis are unhinged

I… don’t hate this result

I get the best engagement with Next Portland on Facebook but also the comments are terrible so I’m not sure if I’m winning or losing

We’re really lucky that same sex marriage was legalized in the brief window where it was possible

Singing "Big Yellow Taxi" to advocate for saving the _Lloyd Center_ is galaxy brain stuff

"Write off" mentioned #dontsavelloyd

Parents getting their children to testify on a political issue is endearing when its on a topic that I agree with and incredibly annoying its on a topic that I disagree with #dontsavelloyd

Existing restrictions on right on red are probably the second most ignored rule in Portland, after the prohibition on automatic offering of single use plastics.
