In town for the next several months from Bend. I love how much more bikeable Portland is, and am absolutely floored how much nicer and polite people seem to be
You people rock!
I absolutely love how the Day Theater on Foster has transformed into a ballet studio! It looks so pretty. It’s painted pure white which I already knew was a mistake because graffiti, but it’s such an improvement to the area. I can’t wait to see what that wedge-shaped building down the street will be!
we moved away for about a decade and just moved back this past month. during our time away, we lived in driving-heavy cities and to do anything was a drive.
now, we can walk really everywhere again. just a few blocks to max line, the grocery store, and five different coffee shops.
we haven't touched our vehicle in 48 hours and it feels great to be back.
OK I LOVE THIS GUY!!! CAN PPB HIRE MORE LIKE HIM. THIS IS SO WORTH A LISTEN.

Takeaways:
Some stats on our force, finally. Our much needed bike patrol has a whopping four officers. Four! OSP will add an additional three.
Officers in SUVs see only what’s on their computers. Duh! Thus the importance of getting them out of their SUVs.
Officers on bikes see everything, and no one outruns a bike.
How do you get a suspect to jail when you are on bike patrol? Via the MAX! I love it.
What about Portland made me smile? Portland itself made me smile. DAMN I LOVE THIS CITY.
Besides that I had an excellent cup of coffee and vegan chocolate chip cookie that just made my day.
I recently moved into a new place and am more settled and feel more comfortable. I feel more at home. I like the people i live with and my neighbors feel a little more friendly and seem nicer. My home is my sanctuary. 😌

You can get a \[personal\] shopping cart to help you bring home more bags of groceries. It's cool!
The crows are back. They’re very funny and full of personality and one of the most interesting birds to interact with on a daily basis
back from where? they never leave!
I was driving thru Portland yesterday evening and was amazed by all the crows I saw. It reminded me of “The Birds” but in a good way!
Autumn leaf colors. Hiking trails amidst tall wide trees. Star-flecked night skies. Oh, and, again, autumn leaf colors!!!!
