One of my neighbors had someone toss poisoned treats over the fence near Ainsworth/Rodney. His dog had to be rushed to the emergency vet in the early morning hours after vomiting all night and losing control of his rear legs.

Some of my more nearby neighbors report the same thing, nearer to Alberta / MLK.

This sh*t, again. Be vigilant, and lets catch this asshole. This is the same crap that happened around Mt. Tabor ( rat poisoned dog treats )

The pirates be raiding the shores of Portland and will be docking in Woodlawn this Friday. The scurvy crew shall be ready to receive all brave souls willing to venture near these pirate-infested waters!

Let it be known that those bold enough to face these salty sea dogs shall earn the respect of the crew, the admiration of their fellow villagers, and perhaps even a place among the ranks of the bravest souls to ever walk the plank!

But beware, ye faint of heart! Those who dare not approach, who tremble at the sight of a Jolly Roger, or who flee at the first thunderous roar of a pirate cannon shall be branded cowards and scallywags for all to see! May the chickens in their coops show greater courage than they!

So polish yer boots, steel yer nerves, and bring yer bravest mates. The seas be treacherous, the pirates be ruthless, and the cannons be primed!

Will ye stand tall against the terror of the seven seas, or will ye be scuttling home with yer tails between yer legs?

1201 NE Holland St, across from Woodlawn Elementary

Poll finds split between Portland and the rest of the state, between parties, and between July and September.

Downtown Portland data centers are small but may require PGE upgrades. Forest Grove and Hillsboro residents are debating data centers.

No link yet to crosstabs, but more discussion of the July poll at https://www.dhmresearch.com/oregonians-want-limits-on-data-centers-and-ai-they-disagree-about-whos-offering-them/

OPB recently interviewed Kotek and Drazan (separately) and published the interviews as podcasts. I found the interviews interesting, so I wanted to share them here.

I just moved back to Portland with my two boys as we left our previous one with only what would fit in the car and that meant leaving behind a wagon and stroller. I figured it would be easy to pick one up inexpensively here but in a week I can’t get anyone to respond on marketplace or find a kids resale shop with one. I’m looking for, ideally, a jogging stroller but at this point I’m open as long at it’s reliable for an 11 month old. I don’t have a car myself yet and my son is heavy and growing out of the baby carrier. I spent a lot of what I had just to get here from another state but have about $100 to spend on a stroller if anyone has one or an idea of where I could find one.
I hope it’s okay to post this here.
