Going to bet they had denim jackets on with sizzle pie patches and only showed up to see the sword/sorceress.

I'll be at the dillinger show tomorrow if you nerds are going out for that.

Watching him write pains every bone in my body. Considering he knew he was going to make this joke and post it, he probably actually tried really hard to make that look nice. Depressing.

id def reccomend yardhouse just because they have over 100 beers on tap. its owned by darden (olive garden) tho, so youll get terrible service in dining room.

I live 5 mins from one. Food is Darden-quality (generic, basically) & 90%+ of the taps are dictated by the central office, leaving few for local flavor. I'll take 40 taps controlled by the local establishment over 100 taps controlled by Red Lobster.

Yardhouse? That's like telling someone to come to Portland to try our Dennys.

Just had Lardo's for the first time yesterday, great stuff.

Portland trip was good. We did a bunch of breweries, some wineries, a couple of restaurants, and some tourist stuff.

Really liked Hair of the Dog, Cascade and Fat Head. We also went to Deschutes, Commons, Base Camp, 10 Barrel and Rogue. Yay beer. Bailey's Taproom (Pallet Jack IPA was my first beer in Portland, top notch) and Big Legrowlski were good bars in the downtown area.

Our wine tour stopped at Rex Hill, Erath, Vista Hills and Stoller. I'm not a big wine guy, but they were fun to visit.

We didn't go to many restaurants since we had food while hanging out at bars/breweries/wineries, but we did stop by Blue Star Donuts (good, but about 3x overpriced and a faggoty line I'm sure they keep on purpose) and Jake's Famous Crawfish (also good, despite selling out to the Fertitta empire). The food at Hair of the Dog and Fat Head was top notch. Stumptown Coffee was great.

We toured the Pittock Mansion, cool old house. Really nice views. Would recommend. We also did the Saturday Market. I'd personally pass on doing that again. I ran the path along the river downtown; nice scenic jog. Only one crazy homeless person yelling at no one particular, making the runners nervous.

We stayed at The Benson. Nice place, apparently a historic hotel. Really nice lobby. A+, would have vacation sex there again.

Overall, Portland was nice. Scenic, weather was temperate, lots of fun stuff to do. Full of hipsters and homeless people, but they were mostly harmless. No Tyen/Trex sightings, such disappoint.

Apple fritter's at bluestar are top notch, some of their others are pretty wacky. I'm also a big fan of East Side Deli, wife and I go there at least twice a month.

how do our Portland residents rate the Portland PD?

curious after all these retarded protests

Cops are worthless here, they will drive right by a homeless guy who is methed out of his mind, yelling and ripping his clothing off but if you drink a beer in a public park, you better watch out. They are rather racist too but I think that goes for any police force.

FBI did do some silly shit here 6 years ago. Found some muslim guy talking shit and set him up with a fake bomb to blow up a xmas tree lighting ceremony downtown.

funny, one of the big FBI screw ups of the 21st century involved a Portland lawyer they thought did the Madrid train bombing didn't work out so well for them

that is a type of policy that is typically coming from the mayor's office, or at least higher than the police chief. vote in different people?

If police ever gave a shit about drinking in parks in SF the riots would be serious. Not this pussy anti-Trump shit. It's practically encouraged here. There's a brewery where you can get 32oz cans to go in a perfectly sized brown bag. Directly across the street from Dolores Park. Where else are you going to drink that?

had a real fun 4th of july playing beer ball in a random SF park one year. kegs at each plate. good times.

God seriously. I got a $165 ticket for looking at my phone while driving cause I was lost as fuck. Meanwhile there is a heroin epidemic on burnside they seem to be doing nothing about. I voted no on 97 or whatever it was for low income housing. Low income housing isn't our problem. Serious mental health and drug addicts are the fucking problem.
