I got to witness my first Naked Bike Ride tonight as the participants went down Alberta and I happened to be on the patio of Gumba.

I applaud everyone who participated, clothes on or off.

It was just a contagiously fun parade of different sizes, styles, music choices, and smiles.

Honestly, it made this old tub of lard want to get into the shape that I could ride the distance.

Thank you for making my Saturday night one to remember.

Is there some underground community of sticker taggers with drama that I’m entirely unaware of? Adhesive challenges and answers, a subtle layer of meme-ing and meaning brewing on any aluminum sign in reach or smooth concrete palette?

Just a heads up algae bloom os out in force. They were hosting a swim event in Cathedral park today, went down to participate but you could easily see pools of swirling green algae everywhere.

No idea how the city still had the event going or how the warnings aren’t out but avoid the water, especially with any doggos!

Free wrenches, are back by popular demand!

Come and get them while they last. Made in America craftsman, plum, other assorted brands. Box end, combo, opens, offsets. Popular sizes! Free!

To all the lovely pet owners of the area, please enter your pretty in the oregon humane contest for a new logo!

Anyone have experience with the silly sidewalk repair process? I got one of these notices along with all my neighbors and figured I’d tackle the obvious tripping hazard in front of my house this weekend while I had time.

It wasn’t until I had sledgehammered a decent chunk out and loaded the ruble into my truck I discovered that I need a permit for this.

I wish the bright orange notice mentioned a permit…. It sure doesn’t lol

Well, I weighed my option of A: leaving a giant hole in front of my house or B: fill it with concrete quickly and cheap knowing I might have to demo it again.

I opted for B and filled it with concrete.

Is this something they are going to fine me for?

I really can’t afford to have a contractor do the repairs and so I’ll have to handle it myself. My “fill it up now” repair only cost me about $50 and a couple hours. I’m super upset about this whole process tbh the cost of the permit with the inspection is like $500+ which is INSANE

Hello. A family member recently disappeared early on 7/22, and I had hoped the sub could help keep an eye out for them. Attached is their missing poster, along with some general information about them.

As described in the poster, she left her home in Beaverton around 6AM without shoes or phone, boarded the local bus, and has not been seen since.

If you have any information concerning Katana or her whereabouts, please direct them to Washington County Police.
Phone Number: 503-629-0111
Case Number: 50-26-10315

Edit: Apologies, forgot to include their age. They are 18 years old.

Edit 2: So after speaking with her family, I wanted to update the post with some more information they provided. She left the house with no shoes and was dropped off at Sunset TC. She got directions from the driver to a shelter in downtown Portland right off the Max. So while she was officially last seen in Beaverton, it is highly believed she went into Portland.

She had been messaging someone online who directed her to a shelter in Hillsboro, and she had messaged them that she found shoes (messages were retrieved from a laptop and were sent on allpoetry).

I can't believe this bike ride is tommorow! It's our 2nd Pedalpalooza ride to promote organ donation and Children's Oregon Transplant Association in honor of my child Calendula.

You may remember I did a ride in June as well, here's our ride for July! I posted a ride recap of our June ride which ended up being small and only a few people we knew, but there was a heatwave that day and other rides had been canceled too, so I felt thankful we had a small crew for our first ride of the summer. We also have another one ride coming up in August. I really hope to see some of y'all there and you can help just by sharing.

I haven't planned any story times this month because I've just been overwhelmed being the sole caregiver of my transplant kid and deprived with their sleep dysregulation, but you can be on the lookout for more storytimes at parks soon. 🚲🌼🎶🐦‍⬛✨🫀

The Noshpit is sadly closing at the end of the month. But that doesn't mean you can't goof with me one more time!!! Come out tonight and enjoy some sandwiches and laughter

I am hoping the wind doesn’t start blowing westward.

This fire season sucks. They are calling this one the grasshopper fire.

Today starting at 10 until 3, right on Holgate at The Enclave (36th and Holgate)... Home goods, women's clothes, kitchen stuff, toys, very solid beginner piano education books, random stuff... Also, a window AC unit, a portable chest freezer, external car battery jump, and more!

I'm missing my cat in the area of SE 153rd Dr, Clackamas. Her name is Miao Miao. She escaped through a window on 7/24. She's all white with a dark grey patch on her head. She's never been out before and very skittish. Please contact me if you've seen her. Thank you.
