Downtown:
of, in, or characteristic of the central area or main business and commercial area of a town or city.


It's close enough to be considered downtown, only separated by a river.

The point was, I work in an area of high homelessness and crime where this shit could possibly happen more so than in other areas, thus you need to pay special attention to groups of homeless people, seedy looking characters, and urban high school kids.

So are the west hills downtown as well?

Is Benson High school in downtown?

Is the St Johns bridge in down town?

Is Lewis and Clark in down town?

Can you go there if you're alone and lonely and worried?

Will things be great?

Are there movie shows?

Is there somebody kind to help and understand you?

Downtown?

LOL.

The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go
Downtown, things'll be great when you're

This sounds like Lloyd Center.

I don't know, is it? I guess it depends on how you define your version of downtown. I gave you the true definition of the word and Lloyd Center area fits the definition just fine. For that matter, are you having fun derailing the topic at hand or what?

I joined in on your derailing

Lloyd center is not downtown Portland

That changes everything. I thought we were talking about Portland, MAINE.
 
Conservative media falsely reports on a surge of anti-white violence

...According to the FBI, in 2011, there were 3,645 victims of racially motivated hate crimes. Nearly 72 percent of them were victims of an offender's "anti-black bias," as the FBI puts it. Sixteen percent were victims of an "anti-white bias."

...There is no consensus among law enforcement that the "knockout game" is even a thing. "If ever there was an urban myth, this was it," a Jersey City police spokesman told the New York Times last week. But that has not stopped a Republican New York assemblyman from proposing a "Knockout Assault Deterrent Act," requiring teens to be tried as adults with prison terms of up to 25 years.

That, friends, is how you institutionalize racism.

Me derailing? Laughable. Go back to your room. I was contributing to the topic at hand giving real-world examples of where you would want to pay attention to your surroundings while being in Portland so as to not get Knocked-the-fuck-out by some dirtballs if they so chose to play that game here. You on the other hand just want to give people shit for saying downtown isn't Lloyd Center area, when in the grand scheme of things it doesn't fucking matter one bit.
 
Zags said it wasn't, you said it was, I said it wasn't, you said it was.


You derailed the thread.

Lloyd center NOT being downtown doesn't matter, I agree. You just keep arguing about it. First with zags, then with me.
 
I looked up derail.

"Derail: What one does when one changes the subject from a more-important topic to one less important, e.g. to whit, from the important components of Portland, Oregon to some fake phenomena being pushed by Republicans."

I already have contributed to the thread.

I grew up in NE Portland.....you know, where Lloyd Center is. I have no idea what it's like to live in Tualatin. Not sure what that has to do with me knowing the difference between NE Portland and SW Portland though?

I dont know what it matters either. I am not sure why you had to derail the thread earlier about it also.

Carry on.

Ah, you're one of those last word guys. I get it now

I could say the same for you. But in this aspect, I don't care about the last word. I care about you understanding that you derailed the thread to argue with me about the location of your sacred definition of "downtown".

Our opinions differ, but you seem to want to shove your opinion down my throat in an attempt to try to reign supreme on your message board funsies as you typically do to people in the regular Blazer forum.

All I wanted to point out, is that where I work, (in what I consider downtown) is a place where you will want to remain hyper-vigilant and stay aware of your surroundings, because there may be a higher percentage of running across people that might play this knock-out game.

And if you don't consider where I work downtown then leave your opinion out of the thread because it doesn't help move the discussion along one bit. All it did was create this secondary debate successfully derailing the thread.

Nor does you continuing to try to get the last word in with me, yet you keep doing it.

I also don't understand why you say my opinion when discussing our differences of where down town is. It's not my opinion, it's the city planners and maps opinion.

Just adding on to what you had already started in the thread.
