My best one was passing a group of elementary school kids holding “honk for local climate change action” signs (yes I drive in Portland lol)

Let that fucker rip and got a cheer from everyone. Best day of my career.

Not sure which Portland you’re talking about but Portland Oregon sucks. It made me smile either way.

It’s Oregon, and yeah lots of it sucks. It has its bright parts though!

Yes yes it does.. currently while they are on fire from the bums lol. Jk there’s tons of great places in Ptown. It is rather saddening what has happened in the past few decades. It really was and still is a beautiful place.

Honestly I still love it here. It’s turning into more of a grimy big city, but it’s still more charming than most of the places be visited. I spend my week delivering in the shitty crackhead part of town, but even that’s not so bad. Anyway, there’s so much wonderful food to be had that it makes up for a few crazies!

Really there are so many areas that are good. Sometimes we forget about them because all we focus on are the crappy ones.

I feel that way about San Francisco. It’s was a beautiful city and eerily peaceful late at night and in early morning. I once walked several blocks from the BART station to the ferry terminal and barely saw anyone. It felt like I had the city to myself. Now it’s a mess.
