MUST have outdoor seating for my covid avoidant self. we’re willing to wait because the main goal is hanging out, but would like to eat eventually </p><p>bonus points if it’s a fun neighborhood to explore after!</p>
Bruh-soka Tano<p>Ugh @ Portland politics right now. It turns out the City of Portland has these weird, secret, invite-only meetings with local "community members" that they're calling the "Problem Solver Network." They're making major policy changes and reversing the decisions made at long-fought out public decision-making processes. It's a huge violation of Oregon Public Meetings laws so I just reported them. But knowing how these things usually go I'll just get a form letter blowing me off.</p><p><a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/orpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>orpol</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/pdx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pdx</span></a> <br>uspol</p>

Ryan Pollard<p>For context, The Greek Cuisina was one of the restaurants Stacey and I loved to frequent when we were first together. 25 years ago, their happy hour was legendary and their dinner service was always a dependable go-to, anchoring a night out in downtown <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/PDX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PDX</span></a>. I will never forgive Randy Leonard.</p>
Ryan Pollard<p>An unexpected treat at the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ClarkCountyFair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClarkCountyFair</span></a> yesterday. Stacey and I got to enjoy The Greek Cuisina for the first time since they closed several years ago (damn you, <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/PDX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PDX</span></a> City Council). I asked if they would ever open a proper restaurant again. Was told TCG exists "only in our hearts" now. 😞</p>

T. T. Perry<p>Sometimes I doubt whether anyone pays attention to my activism. Turns out you can identify when Portland Pride was in the Google trends searches for "foreskin" and "circumcision".
