And it was actually a Piggly Wiggly way, way back in the day......I'm not sure even the Buckaroos had even come to town back then. So no running into Art Jones or the Schmautz brothers in the produce aisle....

Piggly Wiggly. I hadn't thought of that name in years. That was some true marketing genius to pick that name.

Was that IGA on 33rd? I think it was!

It was the one on Allen Blvd in Beaverton. I think it was an event by Franz Bread when they released their cards.

I remember Carr had a basketball camp, but I think I always went to Larry Steele.
 
I was born in Texas where everything is bigger...wait dammit...anyway I was born in '84, but have always since I can remember been a Blazers fan...I hate all three Texas teams with a passion....started watching the blazers when I was a toddler...never looked back

cool to see a few new (to me) people posting their history. I know many just lurk etc but really nice to see and learn some backgrounds of fandom from a bunch of unfamiliars :D!

Props to you even though I didn't understand ONE word of this post!
 
Portland born and raised. I've been a fan since the '77 championship. When I was 13 years old I had the honor of meeting Maurice Lucas out at Franklin high school during a summer event they were holding at the time.
 
Grew up in Portland suburbs. Been a fan of the team since the early 80's. My first Blazer game I saw in person was against the Lakers some time in the 80's and we won with a play with 7 seconds left. Watched that game with my dad. My grandfather would watch the Blazers all the time and we spent a lot of time at his house. One of my favorite blazers when I was younger was Darnell Valentine.

King....See how much better off you are. What City or Township did you come from? Did your parents tell you? I do like Jersey for many things including great food, bread, salt water taffy, tomato pies (a better pizza), calzone and submarine (North) or hoagie (South) sandwiches. You are truly from Jersey if you made out with a girl who had the "Big" hair

Dang! I sure would have liked LP when I lived in Hursley. Didn't even have cable though,
maybe 4 over the air channels from Winchester, Southampton, and Portsmouth.

I had to google Hursley. Not that far from where I live, but what I don't know about England still could fill Raymond Felton's stomach.

League Pass is fucking awesome. I haven't been forced to watch one goddamned soccer (and yes, that's what I still call that silly sport) game (not match!) since I moved here.
 
Been a Blazers fan since I knew we had a team here and I started collecting cards. I was maybe 5?

But I'm a local. From SE PDX, moved to the 'burbs as a wee lad (thanks a lot, UCD), spent most of my time in the 'burbs, now out in Wine Country. All that just to say PDX Metro born-and-raised, cow-tippin' is how I spent most of my days.
 
The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

But I digress - long story short, I've been a Blazer fan for as long as I can remember. Grew up in Tigard, now live in LA.
