Hard to believe this is America

meet me in Pioneer Square in the morning. I'll show you some shit that'll make that guy look successful and well adjusted.

Is "Meet me in Pioneer Square in the morning" the new "Meet me at the 7-11 on Aurora in the U-District"?

it has to be at the Starbucks at Pioneer Square or it doesn’t count.

There used to be two Starbucks in PS. One was one block south of Occidental Park, and one on the corner of Yesler and First (across from the pergola). Both closed a while ago.
Even fucking Starbucks said "no mas" to Pioneer Square.
PS was always a little rowdy but there was a good bar scene at night. Now it's fucking dead, though little bits of life are struggling to make it.
You just have to step over some human shit and body after body. It's terrible.

Had an office there for years. Avoid it these days like the plague. Last time I was there going to a sounders game a guy was dropping a deuce on first Avenue across the street from the Cherry Street coffeehouse. Fuck Seattle.

Just curious. Is the Veritable Quandary still there in downtown Portland? Strong drinks and some agreeable women back in the day.

Nope. Killed by Covid.

Every great beer place in Portland closed down during/after COVID. Right before COVID we had breweries where you could buy a Japanese lager that was actually a collaboration between a brewery there and one in Portland.
Except Maui's. Maui's will still be standing even if it's boarded up and taking on the apocalypse.

People on r/Portland are whining that the Fred Meyer by the stadium may be closing down. Same assholes who demanded the Thurman Street Food Front co-op I used to shop at while living in Slab Town be shut down during Covid, which ended up killing the market and further limiting options other than the Freddie’s.
A downtown area full of absolute retards who can knot piece together how their reactionary policies have damaging long-term consequences.

So glad I moved. I’d probably be getting into fights by now mocking the TrAntifa shitstains who would wander aimlessly around the neighborhood looking for drugs.

to be fair, that stadium Fred Meyer has always been a shithole

I had to go check if People’s Food Co-Op in SE was still open though because I used to live next to it. Still is.

Fred Meyer Stadium - essential and must stay open. Kroger donates millions to Oregon Dems.
Front Food Co-op. Non-essential. Go fuck yourselves peasants, you don’t donate and there is no sales tax, even though neighborhood-fundedstores like that is what brought me to Portland.
Portland broke itself in 2020.

^^ Yep. For anyone wondering, that actually happens. Actual pooping outdoors. And then the guy, who is invariably blown out of his mind, shuffles around aimlessly with his pants down at his ankles (just how Bill likes it) trying to find a way to wipe his ass. It's quite nice.
And, yet, there is never a shortage of these fucking tours that people go on around PS. I'm always like, what the fuck are you people doing here on vacation? Go the mountains or something. But PS? Really? There are old buildings everywhere. Nothing unique about those in PS. If anything, they're rundown.

A rare time we agree. Always preferred the co-ops to the big stores. Fred Meyer Stadium has been a trainwreck for the last 20 years and Kroger’s a shit company.

Just checking to see if you were still following along.
