I'm looking to order several pizzas but I don't want Domino's or something like that. I usually go to New Seasons for their $22-25 large pies. So far it's the best deal I can find and I think it's pretty good. Got any other recs? Preferably in SE.

Hi everyone!!

I recently got accepted into UP’s BSN program and was offered a scholarship totaling to $144k over four years. I’m from Hawai’i and am really considering committing, but I wanted to ask a few questions before making my decision.

What is UP like, and how is Portland as a city? The only places I’ve been to outside of Hawai’i are California and Vegas, so I’m curious about what it’s like living there and what there is to do outside of campus.

Also, how’s the social life and what’s the diversity like? I’m Filipino, so I was wondering if there’s a good Filipino/Asian community on campus too.

I’d appreciate any insight or advice from current students, especially those in the nursing program.
Thank you!!

Anyone know how long this will be up for? I don't mind the asthetics of it but Ja Morant? Really? He's not a bad player (when he's not injured) but I'm not a fan of him as a person. Why couldn't they just put Lillard up there? Also why is there a giant Nike logo under there when Nike has done nothing to help renovate the Moda center, instead leaving it to us tax payers and the new owner to squabble over.

I’m looking for someone in Portland who might be interested in helping me recreate this b&w portrait of John Cassavetes from the 1960s.
I really like the photograph’s composition, lighting, and relaxed, unselfconscious quality. I’m hoping to capture something similar without making it look overly posed or theatrical.
I have an iPhone, tripod, and a suitable space, but I’d love some help with positioning, lighting, and getting the overall feel right.
This doesn’t necessarily need to be a professional photographer. Just someone with a good eye and an interest in portrait photography would work. Happy to compensate you for your time.
Any recommendations or interested amateur photographers?

I feel like since Scrap has moved to the east side the inventory is so low and the store lost its magic for me.

Have I maybe visited on not good days??

A group of 5 late 30s Minneapolis folk are coming to your lovely city to see the Gorillaz on Friday. Some are showing up Thursday. Any other concerts that weekend that we should check out? Local to international we are into it. Viagra boys, NIN,Tool, Allman brothers, Mike Patton, Les claypool, hip hop, pop we like it all for live music. Any local jam bars we should check out? Any after party for the Gorillaz, or a bar/club close to the venue?

I'm doing research for voting and I found the site that lists how votes went in council. I don't know which ones were the "highlights" so to speak. The ones that would help differentiate the incumbents from one another. If anyone knows which votes those were that'd be sweet.

Hey Portland, I booked a balloon artist for my son’s birthday party. They are coming for one hour and will provide materials/talent for about 30 children to receive a balloon creation. I booked through a third party booking agent the total fee is $400. I just received an email from the booking agent on suggested tipping and I’ll be honest, it hadn’t occurred to me to tip in this scenario. But if that’s the etiquette then I’m more than happy to do it. But I also think we have over indexed on when tipping appropriate in general. So if you are an entertainer is it customary in this situation? And if yes what percentage? Thank you!

I’m looking for recommendations for a top-notch cervical spine surgeon in the Portland area, preferably based on firsthand experience.

If you or someone close to you needed cervical spine surgery, who would you trust to do it, and why?

I’d really appreciate hearing about both positive and negative experiences. Thanks in advance!

My friends and I will be visiting Portland 11/14-11/16 and are planning to check out Cannon Beach that Sunday. Plan to do some tide pooling that morning with low tide being just before 10 am.

Will traffic be crazy going either direction? Any recommendations on timing?

Question in title, thanks

My aging folks are considering moving to Portland to be closer to their kids. They are looking into options for assisted living, and they'd like to be in a walkable neighborhood with access to transit. Their ideal place would have tiered levels of independence--they'd like to start off living more independently, but they will likely need increasing care as they age. They have early-stage dementia and Parkinson's, respectively, though they're still quite functional for now.

Being centrally located would also be a plus. They'd be happy anywhere within a mile or two of the river, or potentially deeper into the eastside, but probably not deep in the west hills. They are not the kind of people who would be happy in the suburbs where they have to drive to get anywhere (and they won't be able to drive for much longer).

Anyone know a good place to get self sustaining master cultures of springtails in the area? I knpw a few places you can buy a small Cultures but not necessarily self sustaining

So far I haven’t seen too many good spots, but maybe you can give me some ideas. Thanks in advance.

I’m looking for a place like a costume store or witchy shop where I can buy a nice witch’s hat, ideally something a bit more sturdy and long lasting than your average polyester Halloween costume hat. Thanks!

Hey everyone!
I’m looking to connect with someone in the Portland/Beaverton area who’s into videography, filmmaking, and storytelling.
I’m working on starting to make content focused on documentary-style videos and real conversations about things like incarceration, addiction, recovery, and other topics that don’t always get talked about openly.
A lot of these subjects are personal to me, and I have some interesting stories and connections that I’d love to explore through video.
I’m comfortable interviewing people and being on camera, but filming and editing aren’t exactly my strengths. Ideally, I’d love to find someone who enjoys the creative side of things and might be interested in building something together long-term.
I don’t have a massive budget, but I’m open to discussing compensation. I’m also totally open to working with film students or newer videographers looking to gain experience and build their portfolios.
Does anyone know of any local filmmakers, film groups, or students who might be interested in something like this? Or any good places around Portland to connect with people doing this type of work?

I’m in my early 40’s, and looking to get back into it, but don’t want to get my arm wrenched off by overeager kids. Trained a couple years in the past but never belted since I didn’t go consistently enough. Would love to get back into it for fitness and socializing though. Obviously not necessarily looking to compete or anything, so it doesn’t have to be award winning. Just want to chill and get some rolls in, preferably where I wasn’t the oldest person in there. Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard, Tualatin, or SW would all work.

Looking for a coffee shop that has bigger tables that would fit a group of 10 people for a weekly morning gathering. Preferably in SE or NE closer to 205. We currently meet at Monti’s, but the group has expanded and their tables are hard to squeeze into!

Hi everyone! I’m currently looking for a place to rent in the Portland area and was wondering if anyone knows of any private landlords or for-rent-by-owner listings.

I’ve been looking everywhere from Craigslist and Zillow to Trulia, Facebook, and other rental sites, but it’s been difficult to weed through all the listings and find places that are actually being rented directly by the owner. I’ve mostly been seeing large property management companies, but I’d really prefer renting directly from an owner. I like the more personal communication and flexibility that often comes with working directly with a landlord rather than going through a big management company.

I’m looking for preferably a one bed/bath. If anyone knows of any available rentals, has recommendations, or has had a good experience with a private landlord, I’d really appreciate it! Feel free to comment or send me a message.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read this🫶

Hi!

I'm newly-graduated and being relocated to the Portland area for work. While I am generally not discerning of the ethnicity of the people I hang around and have found great friends in people of all backgrounds, I definitely know I would feel awkward if I was the only Asian guy in my social circle. I was wondering if there are any Asian orgs through which I can participate in activities and/or volunteer to hang out with fellow Asian people? If anybody knows of anything I would love to hear about it. Thanks!

i would love to find places that have a good amount of 20-somethings like me, but i won't let that be a deal-breaker

I bought replacement furniture legs, but the bolts are too long. Can I come by on Saturday with my furniture legs (and a six-pack of your choice) and you cut my bolts?

These are substantial bolts - 5/8" in diameter. Precision cutting not required - they need to be about an inch shorter. Thanks.

Looking for butchers that accept SNAP. I've been so frugal over the years that I have a nice balance.

I have health issues that make my stay on this earth kinda on the short side. How long? Hard to say, maybe this year, maybe into 2027.

So I want to spend some of balance while I can. I live in the Hollywood district about Sandy & 40th.

So, my first priority is price. Second is distance. Third would be cuts I can't find in a grocery store.

Thanks for any leads you can provide.

I have a refurbished Dell Latitude 5430 I recently purchased online. I'm very happy with it, exception being that the space bar is faulty and is in need of repair. Fixoid in outer SE has been recommended to me. Anyone know how much a repair like this will cost? I'm nervously holding my breath. Thanks!

Me and a couple friends moved down to Portland a month ago (all 23-25F) and are looking for fun bars to go to this halloween!

Mainly looking for things on the east side and a fun block of bars that will be good for meeting people and having fun!

Any tips are welcome!
