Hi Guest, we are working on updating the site servers and software. We're also 'forcing' everyone to read and agree to our site privacy policy and terms of service. There are no significant changes to either of these but the terms page does clarify a few things that are mostly in the legalese. You can just click the checkbox for both and continue using the site as usual! We'll update you more on the site upgrades VERY soon! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS for supporting the site and being an active participant!
So far, there's nothing happening in Portland. It's just normal Portland. I have friends there and they report from the "front lines of war ravaged Portland" daily. The orange clown is absurd.
It's creeping martial law, getting us used to armed soldiers in the streets...
Trump is being lampooned on social media. Portland is a great place, great restaurants, culture.
Trump just hates any part of the country that is blue.
I lived there from 1964 to early 1968 -- and loved it. Portland was different back then but not as different as today. Lived in the suburb of Beaverton...rode my 10 speed all over the area, even down the sides of the freeway.
The food trucks there are legendary. My brother and his wife rarely eat in theiir apt. Too many great food truck options.
Awesome. All this time I was thinking they are protesting at the ICE facility while in reality they are just making tacos for everyone. Those little Antifa radicals or so thoughtful. You gotta love 'em.
Just about all the local food trucks here are Mexican.
Portland is a different animal:
The Best Food Carts in Portland
Where to catch the city’s tastiest meals on wheels, from hand-pulled noodles to chicken adobo.
He's probably also trying to provoke something so as to give himself and excuse.
Everclear is an American rock band formed in Portland, Oregon, in 1992.
The Portland Trail Blazers sold out 814 consecutive home games from 1977 through 1995, the longest such streak in American major professional sports at the time.
Didn't hurt they drafted Bill Walton in the '74 NBA Draft, hire Jack Ramsey, and then go on to win their only NBA Championship in '77.

I haven't been to Portland, but it looks like a beautiful area of the country. My wife has visited there a few times, including couple of years ago. Her favorite teacher back in Vietnam emigrated there with his daughter and grandchildren. Her professor passed away a few months after Lan last visited him. The family is struggling financially, so Lan paid for her teacher’s funeral and the headstone.
Regarding the city and its inhabitants, she noticed how run down the city appeared and how an overweighted percentage of people she encountered were underemployed artists. The depressing mood of the city did not match the beauty of the geography. And, for some reason, there is resentment towards Asians. The teacher's daughter owns a nail salon to provide for the family, and it is routinely vandalized - mostly with graffiti, sometimes with a rock through the window. Portland has a lot of property crime, and apparently racism. The daughter would like to move somewhere else, but the area is so depressed she can't find a buyer for her business. So, she's trapped at the moment. We’ve offered to help her and her family relocate when she is able.

Is Portland Burning?
No. See real-time Portland cameras, PulsePoint incidents, and sourced fact checks.

Please answer honestly - where do you think you would be safer walking in downtown at night: Montgomery, Alabama (no Antifa) OR in "an extremely dangerous" Portland, Oregon?
Please feel free to use Google to compare homicide and crime rates between these cities.
Why do you think Trump is not sending troops to Montgomery if it has a much higher homicide and crime rates?
