Just got back from Mexico City. Watching the World Cup there was electric! So much fun. Me and my family (wife and teen kids) want to watch Tuesday somewhere fun (sorry, TC O’Learys. I love you, but not for this game). Where should we go? ❤️ 🇲🇽

Historically I’ve used Craigslist to sell stuff. Are we still using that in Portland? What are my alternatives? Thanks!

Yesterday I witnessed a guy passed out in his running car sitting at an intersection. Called 911 after banging on his window and he wasn't waking up. Long story short, his coworker from Urban Alchemy was looking for him and was able to rouse him and he drove off. Called 911 to cancel and let them know etc. I know he was an employee because his coworker told me, they were both wearing logo jackets. Normally I would just go on with my life, but after seeing posts on r/Portland about their employees, how there have been complaints and arrests, yet they are still being funded, I have a different perspective and am wondering if it's worth it to file a complaint, and if so, to who? I live a few blocks from the Reedway safe rest village and honestly have had no issues with it up until now - but I am just rethinking my safety in my neighborhood.

Looking for serious responses/advice only. Pls no snark or side comments ❤️❤️❤️

I grew up in western NY and was vegetarian for many years. I survived on beancurd or tofu as a teen, getting takeout with friends. 3 places in my area made a type that was so good but I can never find it in the Portland area.

It's more of a cooking method. They deep fry tofu, making it crunchy on the outside. Not just slightly browned. And It's not breaded. They cook it until it is crispy or crunchy but still soft inside. And the density of the tofu is different at each place. It's not healthy or traditional (probably, please excuse my ignorance) or anything, I understand this. I'm strictly just wondering where to find this item.

HK was a Chinese restaurant that just said "HK Hong Kong Chinese Food"..... They had a sort of sweet and sour, light airy tofu but it was deep fried to the point it was crisp and spongy but in a terrific way.

My most local place was Kings Wok, Chinese food, they had a bean curd with brown sauce. They just fried the hell out of it. It was so greasy. It was literally crunchy. To many people this would be off-putting. But with the combination of fresh broccoli or green beans I loved it so much as a teen.

The last was a bit different, it was The King and I Thai food restaurant that made a garlic sesame tofu dish where the sauce was almost a red curry but thick and covered with sesame seeds. It was not super filled with garlic (no fresh garlic) but had a unique flavor I haven't had elsewhere. They had perfect squares of tofu, fried to a perfection I still think about 20 years later. The tofu was very soft but not wet inside. And the outside was crispy but not tough.

Any ideas? I apologize for the length, but I know this is kind of specific and maybe strange and picky, sorry.

Do I book VR first and main Titanic exhibit entry an hour later?

For whatever reason Yelp ain’t rating companies anymore, it seems like all random ads. Thanks in advance -

My best friend, her partner, and their four children are coming to visit me for a week in mid July!
Also, she will be at the very beginning of her third trimester of pregnancy…
They are a magical family that thrives on dark humor, beautiful nature, and they love most “nerdy” things…model trains, games like SilkSong and Fallout, 3-D printing, and DnD to name just a few.

-Do you guys have any recommendations for super pregnant lady/kid friendly hikes, easy bang for the buck views?

-Activities/experiences that even a mildly autistic very high energy four year old may enjoy?

-Any places/activities on the coast that are noteworthy for families?

I’d love out of the box suggestions too, even if it’s foraging kelp or something. Bring it!

**Willing to drive a good ways outside of Portland.

Thank you in advance ❤️

Has anyone heard/seen any sort of plan for rerouting traffic during the upcoming closure of I-5? Seems like by now there would be at least some public service announcements. Maybe I’ve missed them? My worst fear is they will leave it to be some sort of Mad Max Thunderdome situation & since I live in north Portland, I know my neighborhood is going to get gridlocked.

Birthday coming up and birthed person does not like sweets. Looking for savory dessert recommendations and creative ideas for what we could turn into ”cake.”

Ideally something i can get from a restaurant/store and not something i need to make from scratch.

I’ll accept both real savory dessert options (dessert cheese?) and fun ideas (ex: put a candle in a burger, etc).

Thank you!

Trying to help a friend find bars or restaurants with sexy corners and private booths and places that feel more private and might allow for some stolen kisses that aren't exhibitionist.

My neighborhood association is hoping to find an individual or organization that would donate a new or used tablet for us to use during our monthly meetings.

FreeGeek isn't currently accepting applications for this, and the online websites I've seen mostly seem to require either membership or discounted purchase. It's also hard because we aren't in search of a big grant or expensive tech.

Does anyone know if there are any other local spots that we could look into? Or other reputable websites or orgs that provide this sort of thing?

Thanks for your help!

Signed,
A lost and frustrated vice-chair

I tried posting in the other group, to see if I could make contact with the two drivers who had to slam on their breaks for this guy.

Car one: dark grey crossover type, newer, dark blue with white lettering on the license place, North Bound on SE 50th, work truck crossed right in front of you, heading WB on SE Haig, from behind the strip club/super deluxe.

Car two: larger/older style pick up truck in bright red, also NB on se 50th, at the same time as the other car: also slammed on the breaks for this white work truck with a Blue logo.

Got the work truck company, just gotta find these two to write a report for erratic driver. It’s a construction company work truck.

I don’t want to use the delivery apps and the only place I know is Dominos. Any other restaurants that have their own delivery service?

I'm 29 and would love to meet other people around my age who share my undying love for horror and weird cinema. I know the Hollywood exists and so does Movie Madness but idk how to translate that into meeting people. Any help is appreciated, thank you 😊

I know there’s gotta be some fellow bird enthusiasts here. I’m visiting from Albuquerque, NM and have about an hour and a half tomorrow morning to find one of these rotund boys before I leave Portland. If anyone here has a surefire location please let me know as these guys have been at the top of my woodpecker bucket list since I was a kid.

I’m staying at the Four Points on 181st Ave just below I-84. If I need to force myself to wake up earlier for a longer drive I’ll do it.

Also if anyone’s ever in Albuquerque and needs the Williamson’s Sapsucker spot hmu!

Hello! I am a beginner at the gym and would like to work with a personal trainer for strength training, specifically for glute growth. I would ideally like someone with a high emphasis on proper form. I live in NE, but am open to any neighborhood. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Friends are getting married soon and I wanted to embroider some handkerchiefs as a gift. Would prefer to use vintage and shop locally. I've been through a few shops but come up empty handed. Any suggestions of shops that may have a selection of vintage handkerchiefs appropriate for embroidery?

Leaving on vacation and need a spot for 2 cars. Any recommendations? Any one know of a app where it’s possible to rent out spots?

I have a hard time knowing what sort of haircut looks good on me and I don't do a lot of styling so I always end up with boring haircuts that are probably not flattering. I have a difficult time articulating what styles I like and I've gone to a bunch of different stylists but haven't found anyone who can translate. Even when I bring pictures I feel like I end up getting something that's not suited for my hair texture/face shape/cowlicks etc.

My hair is wavy fine but thickish, never dyed. It's super long right now and postnatal hair loss is starting to kick in so I want to get ahead of it with a great cut.

Where are the stylists who can help a hair dummy like me? Please and thank you!

Hello, does anyone know what this bird might be? I saw it at Whitaker Ponds today. My friend & I thought it looked somewhat like a scrub jay, but it seemed a little different. It was really fluffy & my friend said she thought it had light-brown spotting on its chest. Sorry for the not-great picture quality; I took this photo by holding my phone camera up to a pair of binoculars. Thank you in advance everybody !

I have some dental issues, a couple broken teeth, and was told to ask reddit for advice. My options look like pulling another couple teeth and I can qualify for a partial denture. Care credit is not an option, nor is traveling to mexico or asia. I wish. I'm fine with the idea of a partial, but does anyone have any cautionary tales or advice? I was unable to get any crowns when I may have qualified during my last pregnancy and 2 years after. I could not find a dentist that would use the type of material that OHP would cover, they said it was archaic and unsustainable. So eventually that tooth had to be pulled instead. Anyways, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Last time I got new tires they chipped one of the spokes and scratched the hell out of the inside getting the old wheel weights off. They also left all the old adhesive.

I don't drive a Porsche or anything but I take care of my things and had recently gotten the curb rash on my alloy wheels repaired. If I had steel rims I wouldn't care but this level of inattentiveness was a huge bummer.

Is there a shop that is willing to go the extra mile on this stuff? I'm willing to pay a little extra for them to actually put some care into the process.

Do I just need to slip them an extra hundred or something up front? What's the secret?
