Ghost Town

TOURIST IN PSU FARMERS MARKET BY FIVE-PERSON-LONG LINE FOR PINE STATE BISCUITS: (to family) That line's too long. We'll go somewhere else. ME (aside): Oh, tourist. If you can't handle a five-person line at Pine State, you can't handle the mean streets of Portland. How long are you staying? You'll probably starve to death here.

Johnny Marr lived here for five years and might come back, and I think it's probably best for all concerned if those two guys don't bump into each other on Burnside. http://www.portlandmonthlymag.com/articles/2015/7/21/five-reasons-why-morrissey-should-be-right-at-home-in-portland?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=On+the+Town+7232015&utm_content=On+the+Town+7232015+CID_e72594bd9237cf4f90f8ebdbfb88ab0d&utm_source=Email+marketing+software&utm_term=Should+Morrissey+Move+Here

Wrong. Bad. This is my food cart pod. I was there yesterday. It's four blocks from my building. I really feel for the cart owners who lost property. I've bought food from all of them. And they just got that nice parklet. Damn. http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2015/07/several_portland_food_carts_bu.html#incart_2box

Good week for our national sport. Cascadian women were instrumental in World Cup. And the three PNW men's teams are at the top of the MLS Western Conference.
