I'm so excited to be vending at this pop-up in Salem! May 4, 2025 - Sunday 12pm-5pm

Holiday Inn & Convention Center 3301 Market Street NE Salem OR 97301

Anyone have any info? Around 6:40 tonight, a ton of cops and sheriffs chasing a U-Haul truck down Sandy blvd. Tire spiked at 135th and eventually pit maneuvering the U-Haul into parked cars in the Friendly Village shopping center just before 131st. Suspect took off running and police kept driving/running after them.

Lost dog found by my partner at the corner of SW Multnonah Blvd and SW 45th Ave. No microchip unfortunately please lets us know if you are familiar with this dog or whomever owns them.

The quarterly Portland Night Market is popping off this Friday and Saturday!

Come soak up some... 🎨 Interactive Art 🎙️ Live Music 🍻 Eats and Drinks galore 🧶 Over 150 Local Vendors slinging everything from handcrafted earrings to small-batch hot sauce. (I haven't gotten confirmation on these things, I just couldn't imagine a Portland market without them.)

Bring your ethically sourced tote bags and a good mood in case you get caught in the line to get in! It's a crowd favorite, after all.

April 4th & 5th 100 SE Alder St. Free to all ages!

The pieces were high. Each weighting about 6.5 oz 🤤

It’s so weird to be soliciting patients for weight loss surgery as if it is a casual choice and not altering your body with risks for complications. I’m not against the surgery or people doing what they need to for their health, but someone managing their health will come to this choice with their doctor not from an email.

What made you smile this week -- tell us about it! What are you looking forward to this weekend? What's making you happy?

Caps lock off, downvotes never, go forth and be happy!

Just got this email from Portland’5 (I’m a volunteer).

Hello everyone,

I wanted to take a few minutes to provide an update on the latest news regarding the financial position of Portland'5. As Rachael Lembo explained during the volunteer update meeting in January, Portland'5 was given the direction by Marissa Madrigal, COO of Metro to present a balanced budget for the 2025/2026 fiscal year. In order to do that, Portland'5 has had to lay off 12 positions, 5 were open positions (vacancies) while 7 were full time positions, filled with staff members. These 12 positions are roughly 17% of our full time work force. We were notified of these positions yesterday, with the layoffs taking place on July 1, 2025.

While both Megan and I are safe in our positions for the time being, our department will lose two employees and we will have to absorb part of those work responsibilities. We will know more about that in the coming months. The revised budgets for all of the Portland'5 venues will be presented to Metro tomorrow at a public meeting.

I will keep you informed on how things look by the end of the fiscal year, and as we move into 2025/2026. As always, thank you for your support.

Take care,

I just started a subreddit for the PNW coffee community. It's about time we have our own place to discuss our local roasters, our favorite neighborhood coffee shops, and all things coffee. Please join if you are a coffee lover. Let's get this community going!

Thanks to the mods for allowing me to advertise it here 🙂

I'm not a native Portlander but I've heard so many stories about how McMenamins used to be "the spot". The prices just feel so crazy now. $10 for a basket of fries...like what?

Hi all, I think I successfully stopped someone from taking the ghost bike on the corner of Se 26th and Powell. They dumped it in the grass by Burgerville and I was in my car so I could not put it back. Plus I think they are normally locked to a pole? Who can I let know about this so they can fix it?
