For those of you interested in Portland's crows, check out the first episode of my Microraptor Podcast which features PDX's roost. I've been documenting Portland's crow roost for 10 years, and this first episode is a serious labor of love. 

I'm sharing the first minute here, and you can find the rest at  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_1sO474hfM

Hello all,

I noticed a cat around my property in the Laurelwood area a couple of weeks ago. She started off a bit wary of me, but warmed up to me once I fed her. I had noticed her eating my bird seed and knew she needed help. I have used a couple of Facebook groups, Pawboost and Nextdoor to try and find her owners, but I’ve had zero luck.

As it stands, as adorable and sweet of a cat as she is, I cannot take care of her long term. I am disabled and have more than I can handle with my dog. This pretty girl deserves a home where she can get the love and attention she deserves. She is between 6-12 months old and I just recently took her in for her vaccinations and the vet gave her a clean bill of health. So far I’ve learned she loves to be held and petted as well as playing with anything on a string. She also gets along well with my dog. She is spayed and otherwise seems house broken. Please let me know if you would like to adopt this beautiful girl. I’ve been calling her Britta since my dog is named Annie.

I was looking for a home near my area, but it’s been close to three weeks now so I’m expanding the search a bit. As I’m disabled, the logistics of getting her to anyone too far out may be difficult for me, so please keep that in mind if you want her.

My wife was two cars behind a semi truck with trailer that went down Germantown road this afternoon, which is illegal. She saw it sideswipe at least one car and cause at least one other accident, and it never stopped. The photo is a pic they took of the truck's license plate after it got onto the st Johns bridge, she also got a multiple minute video of it driving on Germantown.

If it hit you or caused you to get in an accident, shoot me a PM. She'd be happy to give a statement to your insurance and/or share the video she took with you.

She's also reported it to police non-emergency, the trucking company (Legend), as well as the FMCSA complaint line (you should too): https://complaint.fmcsa.dot.gov

There was a houseless man lurking around the cashier. When an employee approached he asked for the bathroom code. The employee refused and an argument ensued. I just want to say that you are a hero for standing your ground and not giving that man the bathroom code.

I know that I would be conflicted: compassion vs rules. I think that employee has made the right choice.

kinda sad title 😅 just dont have any friends yet in portland and havent had any luck with my hobbies or the places I frequent but I still want to have fun on Halloween. any bars or events that I should go to? particularly if you think the people are welcoming and friendly instead of a “I only talk to the people I came here with” vibe. I’m a young woman btw!

"I like the bus." Wonder who the agency was?

If you guessed income tax and property tax for Oregon you would be correct

Clackamas Town Center

It sounds like he says CUSSFTS, not CUTS.

Pet rat got hurt but apt isn't for a few more days , dose anyone have any Meloxicam or carprofen i could have / buy off of them for the lil guy ?

Will they ever fix it or is it just an ongoing crisis?

Many people want more friends and community, but these days it helps to be proactive. That's the goal of Resilient NE PDX:  to discover if people living in the six neighborhoods surrounding the Alberta Arts District can enhance their social and practical resilience by making new, meaningful, nearby connections.

If you live in Vernon, Woodlawn, Concordia, Alameda, Sabin, or King, you can learn more and join our mailing list at https://resilientnepdx.org/

A few options for October 30–November 1:

• ScareGrounds at Oaks Park for haunted houses.

• Woodstock Spooktacular on Saturday for neighborhood trick-or-treating.

• Spirit of Halloweentown in St. Helens if you’re up for a short road trip.

We run FunPDX and put together a longer list here: https://www.funpdx.com/portland-halloween-events. Check organizers for current hours, admission and age details before heading out.

What local Halloween events are you looking forward to?

As a recent transplant, it was nice to see people out and about despite the rain, but I can’t believe this many people thought this was a good idea. 🤦‍♂️

Saw it yesterday. Meigh. I love that the protagonist is a strong female character that is not a dork. I also enjoyed all of the hipster jokes and the landmark name dropping. But the story is awful. All of the side characters are flash cards and the main plot is the same old trope that you find in season 3 of a sitcom (I'm not spoiling it) but come on. All that work they could have better writers.

Looking for nonslip waterproof shoe options for the winter months coming.
i’m pregnant and can’t keep my center of gravity. hopefully looking for something comfy for the rest of pregnancy and into those first few postpartem months

I built this pirate ship for Halloween and think I'll keep it around to rent out. What would you pay to rent something like this? I also have several animatronics that could go along as "extras".

It is towable and I drove it around the neighborhood with friends and neighbors, which everyone loved.

I mean the best specific beer, not just the brewery in general.
