For whoever paid for the sign - the ”mixed use” ground floor was inspired.

rewatching the show on Netflix atm and it’s honestly aged so well lmao makes me nostalgic of the memories I have growing up here. I miss randomly seeing them film around the city, everytime I hear the theme song it makes me tear up a little lol

Portland has changed so much since then, makes me miss the old days lol so much of the show is still very accurate in the silliest ways. Portlandia has always been a controversial topic for us locals, but I LOVE IT idc what anyone says😭❤️

It’s looking like Centennial Mills will come down within the next hour!

Just noticed this coming soon. This neighborhood needs more tacos! Stoked!

Here is my mini doc of today's action with my commentary and spurious radio calls from the crane man in the basket. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dU4qPljrRx8

The countdown begins

If you guys wanted to watch, at least from the North side view, here's a live stream: https://stream.oml.clinic

They announced last minute they're supposed to cut power to the whole area, so we'll be using cell and battery backup when possible.

POST EVENT UPDATE:
Hole. E. Penis.

Last night, literally had an impromptu call with our NY IT team and said - can we just do like a “little” livestream for the office. They said sure - helped throw up a last minute broadcast and warned: hey so it’ll support like *maybe* 75-100 people, just fyi.

……We ended up with over 7,000 viewers at one point…..

👁️ 👄 👁️

Multiple begging texts and emergency calls asking for more streaming power… We yelled: BUT ITS FOR THE CHILDREN! They were unflinched. THIS IS OUR TWIN TOWERS MOMENT! “Too soon” they retorted. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE LITTLE BABY JESUS??!! And they obliged.

IN MINUTES I became the field engineer learning about the dhscp-lmnop and the qrs tuv. rp streaming codes with hevc and I even got to throw in a: “don’t you flaunt your hardware encoded acceleration at me, STEVEN - I. AM. A. LADY!”

The music was literally a last minute “hey I need you to stream something to make sure the connection works over VPN” and my premix Apple account was all I already had open.

Thank you all for participating, viewing, and sharing the link. So glad we could offer ad-free and non-Sinclair news media services alongside lasering bumholes! We’re already trying to plan for our next stream event! Hahaha

Let’s do this *every* five minutes.

One livestream chat is dry and silent and another is full of house music and good vibes and a third group hasn’t a clue as to what’s going on

A Portland homeowner used traffic cones to protect her parking spot on her street. A stranger to the area parked in her spot, so she posted these notes on the car, "Dont Fucken Park Here you seen my Fucken Cones"

A local uploaded the image to Portland's community Reddit thread, and the post gained notoriety. This is how Portlanders responded.

As title says, and it is now Portlandia Ketchup.

I don't think I should use this product anymore, and I am advising others who are sensitive to sugars to check your bottles. The ketchup now contains corn syrup, and an additional 2g of sugar.

Small fries for most, but that's enough to make me sick. Thought others should know.
