Any of you fagmos live in Portland?

Einhander

Because I'm gonna move there and I want to know more about the city. I asked those guys over at H/A and they told me some shit but I want to hear it from you, SE.

Like how much is rent for a shitty apartment and tell me about cool shit to do. Also what neighborhood should I move to because I don't want to live next to a crackhouse but I don't want to live so far from the crackhouse that I have to take a bus to get there.

Why not move to Seattle? Skip a transition in Portland and just visit all the cool folks around here.


P.S.
I just received my Seattle Recruiter tee shirt in the mail, it rocks!

i pass through portland michigan all the time traveling back and forth across the state

Portland is a pretty neat city

I grew up about a half hour's drive away

Of course, now I live about four hours away

But I'd like to move back around there someday

Einhander

Seattle is far, I don't want to go to Seattle. I want to go to Portland to live in a city again, and get some education while I'm there and get one of those fancy careers everyone is harping about and out of state tuition would rape me through the pants.

Cogliostro

I was born there, spent a lot of time there as a kid. Great city.

I was going to be heading there myself next year but it looks like I'm getting Anaheim, CA instead

Knob

i live in portland

you'll probably need to buy a gun

oh, and don't ever wear red or purple

you'll want to stay away from 15th street and franklin ave

get an extra deadbolt

you probably oughta get a dog

oh, make sure all your vaccinations are up to date

do you have a water purifier

Centipede Damascus

The best things about Portland are OMSI, the Washington Park Zoo, the Rose Gardens, and Saturday Market

Rankenphile

hey if you do decide to move to portland, one of the best parts is that they got these free clean needle clinics on pretty much every block

Einhander

I looked for places on Craigslist just to get an idea of what I'll be paying in rent 9and how much money I'll need to sucessfully make the move) and it's not as expensive as I thought it would be.

A friend of mine may be moving with me, which would be cool because moving alone sucks.

Einhander

I have a water purifier that I use when I buy cheap Vodka. i'll have to clean it out or whatever, but i've got one.

Actually the "out of state tuition" may not apply to OR residents. Also, fancey careers are over rated. Nothing but work and more work for a little bit of cash to further your gaming needs... and maybe buy a house/male order bride. (pun intended)

Centipede Damascus

at least you won't be living in Eugene anymore

that must be a relief

I read that as Europe and was about to shout at you.

Einhander

I have an awesome job here in Eugene. I make $8.50 an hour. I work in a huge convenience store. I assistant manage that bitch. I routinely have to bounce drunks, and I get/have to beat up on average three people a month.

I want to move to Portland so I can get a change of scenery and hey who can say no to free clean needles?

Ummm, just buy two water filters, one for cheap vodka and one for water. Do not label either and make a rule that no matter which one you choose you have to drink whatever you pour. Also, randomly switch them around so no one know what is what.

This is also my plan when I get my own place at WSU.

Also, I can get you a job in Seattle doing nothing for a hotel at $10 a hour.... with excellent benefits and plenty of sexy Russian women (who shave) to flirt with.

Einhander

And by awesome job I mean shittiest job ever.

Einhander

Frog that is the best idea I have ever read.

Metzger Meister

The entire state of Oregon is the worst place I've ever driven through.

Obviously you did not drive through the part that gives you free gas and liquor.


For some reason I always thing I am misspelling through...

Dely Apple

What a random and amusing thread to be made.

man, I will fight you if you are going to be badmouthing Oregon

there is no call for that kind of behavior

Metzger Meister

I drove through the part where a meth-head gas-station attendant pumps your gas and makes you afraid he's gonna take your shit and then the part that's all farm land. The forested area and the Columbia River Gorge are nice.


Other than that? Burn it.

Edit: ESPECIALLY MEDFORD.

Einhander

Yeah they don't let you pump your own gas here unless you've got a CDL.

I worked at a gas station in Boise once. You would not believe how many people there are that are too stupid to pump their own gas safely and effectively.

Centipede Damascus

One time when I was in high school I applied for a job as a gas station attendant.

They had me in for an interview and asked what kind of experience pumping gas I had.

In the end I didn't the job. Apparently they found someone with more experience.

Frog

Is there something in the water to incapacitate people in OR to such a degree where they can not pump their own gas? I mean, practically the rest of the US (including Mississippi) can pump their own gas.

Hey.

Whoa.

What's your beef with Medford there, champ?

I mean I am just reading this thread about the state I live in, and then oh here is some dude dissing my town.

What is this.

Aside from the fact that I wanted to chew on the end of a revolver just driving through the place, it's fine.

Einhander

I had a microphone which I could use from inside to yell at people who were pumping gas and I was an asshole so sometimes I would yell LOOKOUT! over the microphone and watch people's reactions.

Einhander

My good friend Sam has an ex girlfriend who lives (I think) in Medford. She was a cutie.

Sounds like a personal problem to me.

I have a substantially high chance of moving to Portland for college next year. Woo. It was a pretty cool place last time I was there.

ask the legislature, I don't make the laws

I think it has something to do with providing more entry-level jobs or I don't know

it's a pretty liberal state

TylerDurden

do they produce port in portland

hahaha

no really

Abracadaniel

$8.50 is not an awesome job

Abracadaniel

Also I was born in Portland

Abracadaniel

Also Sami, WaM, ZeroZero all live in/around Portland, so I'd try contacting them.

Poorochondriac

Chuck Palahniuk wrote a book about Portland.

Seems like a place, alright.

Also Dark Horse Comics has their HQ in Portland.
