Shots Fired NE 102nd Ave and NE Prescott St. - 10/25/13
On Friday, October 25, 2013 at approximately 2:27am Portland Police officers responded to a call of shots fired in the area of NE 102nd Ave and NE Prescott St. At least one person is believed to have been injured as a result of the shooting. A crime scene has been established and investigators are beginning to process the scene.

Doh . . . wrong thread.
 
That's better:

When it comes to the best of the best schools across Oregon, 15 of Beaverton’s 51 schools were rated level 5 on the statewide report cards released Oct. 10.

That places those schools among the top 10 percent of the 1,200 schools rated by the Oregon Department of Education based on their achievement in 2011-12 and 2012-13. In addition, all of the top achievers were above average compared to schools with similar demographics, including number of kids in poverty, English language learners and under-served minorities.

Twenty-four Beaverton schools received a level 4 and also were rated above average compared to their peer schools. Another 10 received level 3 and two schools landed at level 2. Beaverton had no schools rated at level 1.
 
Beaverton was the safest city in Oregon in 2012, according to a study released by CQ Press in January. The study only examined cities with populations above 75,000, of which Oregon has eight, according to 2011 data from Portland State University. The CQ ranking listed Beaverton as the 55th safest city in the country, a jump from its position as 64th the year before.

Good, this is what I was talking about. I wanted a thread where you guys can boast about the good things in your community and good schools are very important. Now what else do you got?

No you're missing the point. You aren't supposed to crack on other cities or towns (anybody can do that) you are supposed to post good thing about where you live.

Is that your rule for others but not for yourself?

So you think that is a good representation of Beaverton? Should I google crime rate Portland and post the first thing I see and say I'm just showing you what popped up on google.

Anyways, whatever. Your not a suburb guy, I get that. But everytime you crack on suurbs I'll be here to remind you what sucks about the NE (even though I actually like many parts of NE . . . first house was on 12th and Fremont)

I suck at posting pictures. But going for a walk with the family is one of the better parts of Beaverton. So many bike and walking trails, tons of THPRD parks and activities. . . . it is actually a mecca of activities for families.
 
I tried to find stats for my area and couldn't, but here's a quick blurb about my street.....come by and I'll buy you lunch at my brothers restaurant. You might just like it.

HCP is trying to kidnap you!
 
Portland's minority population - 24% of all residents, 76% white.
Tualatin's minority population - 21% of all residents, 79% white.

Portland is the whitest "major" city I can think of! Really, is there a less racially diverse major city in America?
 
It's amazing that Portland is more white than Salt Lake City, and according to the chart posted, only has one more minority per/100 than a lily-white suburb such as Tualatin!

It's so weird to me. I grew up and our schools were probably 60-40 white/black. Classes were always half black......although I don't think I ever saw one of Mags kind til after HS!

Wonder where they get these numbers. Been to SLC 40 times and NEVER seen anything but white people there. And do they look at Portland as a whole, not neighborhoods?
