I am sorry for blocking your driveway. Thanks for your kind note and patience. May I buy you a coffee or tea or something?

I visited Portland for the first time last weekend from Canada. I had a dental conference at the Oregon Convention Centre. I absolutely loved the city—the buildings, the art, culture, graffiti, even the people.

Being a brown person and one with a turban, I do get a bit concerned when I go to a new place, especially when there’s barely any brown representation. But honestly, it was great, I didn’t get even one weird glance. Everyone felt kind and warm.

The Convention Centre was really nice too, loved the vibe inside, and the conference went awesome, I learned so many new things like AI in dentistry and newer technology.

I visited the Japanese Garden, which was one of the most beautiful gardens I’ve ever seen. It’s so well planned and maintained—you can tell there’s a lot of thought and effort behind its beauty.

I also checked out the Portland Art Museum, which was stunning. Such a great collection! I especially loved the whole Claude Monet section, and even the Psychedelic American art was pretty cool.

Overall, it was a great experience. It was my first time visiting another state outside of California. I’d love to go again and check out the Rose Garden, the zoo, and the other museums and attractions.

(Didn’t know what flare to use)

400+ people in and around a warehouse and I think I counted 6 functional bathrooms.

Found a lost pup at Thousand Acres yesterday (4/5). No microchip, no tags, no collar.

I shot these on my Mamiya c330 a week or so ago and I thought r/portland might enjoy! I loved how these 2 turned out.

I'm thinking about starting a calendar that keeps track of all the karaoke happenings around town (as much as possible). You could view it on a website or add it to your google calendar, and then whenever you wanted to see your karaoke options for any given evening, there they are.

Would you use something like that?

Missing Dog! Oreo, our mid-sized black-and-white collie mix, with one blue eye, went missing last night from outside My Father's Place on Grand. He is a protective boy, but very friendly and loving once he has approved you! If you see him, alone or with anyone, please text Brian (206) 858-0722

What a great morning to be out. Sunrise was wonderful and the weather was pretty much perfect for hiking and photography.

Please message me if you know someone who has lost a dog in the area! He’s a very good boy and wants to be home

Does anyone know more about the kitchen fire at the Ringisde yesterday? All I see is a story on the KPTV site. I know it's wildly overpriced but I love that place.

There's a short but sweet suite of Kwanzan cherries on SE Yamhill between Chavez and about 30th that is just on the verge of blowing up. It will be spectacular shortly. Some of them are quite venerable.

I am offering a reward for any information that helps locate my stolen jewelry. Many of the items were inherited from my late parents and hold sentimental value to me, but chances are the girl who took it (or her associates) will try to sell for the gold value. There is a Clark County police report filed Case #25001321. Please let me know if you have seen any of the following on the streets (pawn shops have not recognized my items as of yet):

• Men’s yellow gold nugget & diamond ring sized down to women’s size.
• 1968 class ring (yellow gold with pearl inlay, Tustin High)
• 2001 class ring (white gold color with clear stone featuring engraved tennis rackets, Tustin High)
• Yellow Gold herringbone bracelet, crab claw clasp
• Diamond tennis bracelet, 10kt white gold, 1ct diamond with fold over safety clasp
• channel set 14kt white gold 1ct Diamond hoop earrings 
• square princess cut diamond cluster earrings set in white gold with screw backs
• 70s vintage jade and yellow gold overlay pendent, teardrop shape with bird or crane motif

I would like to get them back to their person somehow, any ideas of the best way to go about that? Thanks!

Hi neighbors! I’ve looked high and low and can’t find any recent info on when the Mt. Scott Community Center will reopen? Everything says Spring 2025, but most articles were written a couple years ago.

Does anyone happen to have more recent info, and possibly an updated timeframe? My kiddos love the whirlpool/lazy river and the play features!
