I must be going the wrong way down McLouglin then. I always hit traffic.

Well, that's cuz you're driving on McLoughlin.

Druggies/prostitues/SlyPokerDogs walk along McLoughlin.

Well, they finally finalized a deal (3 acres) for the in-door public market & Tower project.

Well, it looks like there is a very good chance that height limits are going to be softened in the Lloyd District.

The big population growth (2035 projection) this district will have the biggest change/development in all of downtown Portland.

I haven't lived in Portland for awhile...when did Lloyd become "downtown"?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Vicinity.

I can't believe how much the Lloyd District has change over the last decade. When an area is gentrified where do the dirt bags relocate to?

Wow. That isn't the Hillsboro I grew up in. I heard on the radio they landed a minor league baseball team as well? The Yakima team? Something like that. Amazing what Intel can do to a city. When I was going to hi-school at Glencoe in the early 90's it was a down right fucking DUMP!

Less than two weeks after TriMet cut bus service to the tune of $1.1 million, the transit agency’s board appears to be on the verge of approving nearly $1.4 million for office furniture.

Shoot first. Ask questions later.

Shoot first. Ask questions later.

All the local cops look like SWAT team members with their darker uniforms. Even the Max ticket writers are all cops with guns now. Can't wait till they cap someone for fair evasion. Fuck the police state!

The plans for the new downtown MAC store were approved today 5-1. It's going to have that typical flagship store design: glass walls:

Noice!​

Hell if I know. My gf loves MAC. She runs out to the MAC store at Bridgeport to buy the stuff because she says it's cheaper than buying it from Nordstrom's.

Can't wait for that new Mac store! The 2 coolest ones I've been to are the NYC ones. The main one across from The Plaza and Central Park and the one inside Grand Central Station are both very cool!
