OT Moving to NE Portland, fams!

[SlyPokerDog]

My son and fiance live off Rosa Park Way a couple blocks west of MLK.

Your son lives with your fiance?

1. Does your wife know?

2. Kinky!

 

[PDXFonz]

Yes. I'm a social minority with a cheap car at least attempting to rough up the place a bit.

Given what my apartment cost, I doubt everyone here is rich. It's a pretty cheap place for inner NE.

I bet most people you think are rich aren’t actually rich. The technical definitions are one that most people don’t actually qualify for and that’s not because of what they earn - but the assets they own!

Who shop at urban outfitters for retro rap shirts that are brand new

Welcome FAMS! La Serinata on about 28th and Alberta...... arguably best mexican food in town.

Did you mean La Sirenita? Can't find a menu for it.
When Chevy's started declining about 10 years ago, I couldn't find a good Mexican restaurant. I love great chips with great salsa. Also love steak fajitas and Chile Relleno. Also like good sweet corn mush. And of course, there must be a great margarita.
One other thing, don't you think a Mexican restaurant ought to serve at least one Mexican beer?

What is the technical definition?

Those apartments on Jenkins between Murray and Cedar Hills = better drugs.

I used to work across the street for many years. I know that area pretty well. The apartments and homes in that neighborhood have really gone down hill.

I remember coming back from college and all of a sudden its like mexican gang central.

Beaverton really took a shit in the early late 90s to early 2000s. Got back on its feet.

 

[Lanny]

I grew up in NE Portland. Probably not quite as nice as it is now

I grew up in Oswego. Probably much nicer now but it was great for a little boy back then. I could swim in the lake, fish in the lake and Tryon creek and ride my bike all over town. I was very active.

Do you remember the Westgate theater or Earthquake Ethel's? The Westgate theater used to sit where the Beaverton Round is today. Earthquake Ethel's was on the East side of the intersection of Jenkins and Cedar Hills Blvd.
By the way, the Cedar Hills Crossing location used to be a small plane airport. I know you wouldn't know that because it goes back to the mid 50s.

Yep. I was young for earthquake ethels but remeber seeing it when we were at the auto parts store next door.

Watched a ton of movies at Westgate. Spent much of my youth at Wunderland

I used to occasionally go to Ethel's after work and have one of their 59 cent high balls. They had a reader board that wrapped around the dance floor that was controlled by a PDP-8 computer that was so cool.

My dad told stories about Ethyl’s, of course. He worked at ESI probably around the same time you were at Tek(?).

Just closed on a little apartment on NE Alberta, my move in date is late May. I'm super excited to be out of the fucking 'burbs!

Must be nice...

I'm gentrified to Milwaukie.

I used to live on 28th, 26th, and 18th and Alberta.

The house I grew up in (not nice at all...) Is over $550K.

I can move to Tigard for less than $400K...

Alberta is gentrification central. I don't ever spend money on that street...

 

[dviss1]

Isn't that where all the rich poseurs rolling around in used German cars live?

Yup...

There and Jack's are the only places I spend money on Alberta.

Right down the street from Mrs. HCP...maybe she will welcome you to the neighborhood

 

[THE HCP]

Yup...

Hey! He was talking about ME FAMS!

 

[MarAzul]

I don't suppose anyone rode a street car to Oaks Park?
Saw a ball game at Vaughn Street?

Was along for the Lewis & Clark Expedition?
Saw Jesus get crucified?
Was around for the Big Bang?

I grew up in the Sellwood neighborhood and went to Oaks Park often.

 

[Lanny]

I was at Tek from 1969 through 1983. I had a friend who worked at ESI but that was in the 80s. My friend got his degree from PSU.

I've been to Oaks park about a dozen times. I also went to the Jantzen Beach amusement park even more often.
I love the Sellwood neighborhood.

That's what made him agreeing with me hilarious.

I’ll have to double check.

My dad worked at ESI from 1974-1982, and again from 1989-2006, got his degree from OIT.

I’m not buying... I bought in Tigard for less than $400k but they kinda don’t like my kind, so I’m leaving.

I just wonder where I stand. I've considered myself upper middle class.
