(And yes I'm being mostly facetious. But I can think of worse uses near transit, like the storage unit facility near the NE 60th Ave. Max station. If you're storing larger items, like say, a sofa, unlikely to benefit from the three rail lines and one bus line serving the station.)

Funny. Not the "highest, best use", but not fully useless to have car dealers by transit. Person buying 1st / replacing totaled car, or visiting the service center, could use transit. Les Schwab Tires once sponsored Portland Streetcar, as their NW PDX customers would ride while waiting for service.

Now there's a headline I never expected to see! (Yes, I know Vancouver is not Clark County writ large, but still, given all the historic opposition to any light rail into Vancouver, it's refreshing to see the city not just approve, but fight for it to be more useful.)

Vancouver City Council could vote to oppose shorter I-5 light rail route Planned light rail stops were reduced from two to one, with light rail terminating at the Vancouver waterfront.

Plans to bring light rail to the heart of Vancouver and reconnect two neighborhoods separated by Interstate 5 in the city’s downtown core are in danger because of heightened cost.

I just met her this weekend at the "Doc Camp" workshop hosted by Oregon Media Lab. She mentioned you among the various people she's interviewed.

Loved seeing you again, Milwaukee, but we need to talk.

There is a fundamental airport culture incompatibility between people who seek out a sparsely-occupied gate to get away from noise, and those who seek it out so they can more-politely make a loud phone call.

There is an undocumented API for software engineers to link with job opportunities. Once you successfully reverse-engineer it, you're in. I'd tell you the IP address and port number of the server, but I'm under NDA.

Ahh, here it is... They renamed themselves to "The Blade" after the word "gay" for sexuality grew in popular use and they got tired of the ribbing (or losing customers due to homophobia and/or reverse-homophobia). www.instagram.com/p/CkPHDZDPWNa/

I vaguely recall that "The Gay Blade" was also the name of a men's fashion boutique store in Portland, Oregon in the 60's or 70s.

I have a Portland Streetcar joke but people will just argue with me about whether it's useful.

Ideally it would be a performance test done just before occupancy. A device in one unit would play a suite of sounds, calibrated to a certain volume, and physically tap/thump floors and walls. Measurements in bedrooms in all units with common walls/floors are taken. Call it a "SleepScore".

But of course this would be solved by a MAX Trunk Tunnel through the Lloyd District, with access tunnels to consolidated stations. So I'm happy to refocus my future advocacy in that direction. ("Trunk Tunnel" sounds vaguely dirty. I like it.) /End

I *used* to advocate for consolidating the 7th and Convention center stops (ask me for my 3-point plan), but now that there is a lot of development around 7th, I think moving it would encounter a lot of resistance (and rightfully so from those riders/property owners)... 1/

I like calling it the MAX Trunk. I live near the NE 60th Ave. station and I have always been aware of the advantage this gives - if I'm going anywhere between gateway and downtown (and don't mind if the downtown walk might be 4-5 blocks longer), I can hop on any train, with great headways.

I know of a great tech channel where you can learn all about dehumidifiers (and dishwashers too!)

You have found the mythical Patient Zero of floppy discs - the one that spread damaged sectors to millions of other discs. You should immediately put all other floppies in your house into individual vacuum-sealed pouches.

I was an extra in a 1st-season episode of "Grimm" that was shot there, when the building stood in as police headquarters. They even had graphics on the doors, which made me wonder if any tourists ever mistook the building for a real police HQ when film crews were not around.

FWIW, page 76 of the Master Plan PDF has an example photograph of an ice rink in Bryant Park, NY, but it is not mentioned in the text. Everything else on that page is aspirational, "might draw its identity", "might look", etc. Page 92 shows a conceptual rendering of that area, but no rink.

The dontsavelloyd site still claims that the redevelopment will include an ice rink, but I haven't proof of that. The latest Oregonian article says the current rink will be demolished, but does not state there will be a replacement. I don't oppose the redevlopment but would like to see some honesty.
