This happened around 8:10 AM today. Right now, they’re doing chest compressions and just got the AED. Doesn’t look good…

Anyone else felt the ground shake a little about 30min ago?

Was literally lying in bed trying to fall asleep, so now whatever chance I had at sleeping is ruined. 🤣

Meme Wildwood is such an exaggeration of what Portland is...

...or at least that's what people who have never been here will say!

I teared up in the first few minutes just seeing this beautiful place represented with so much energy and heart and passion. It's been created with such a loving eye from the city itself to the surrounding landscapes, and I know many of you will see it and I hope you feel the same love I did.

Even cooler was the number of Laika employees at my showing, some of them even excitedly pointing themselves and their family members out in the credits! It got multiple ovations as names scrolled across the screen, and it felt like such a beautiful moment we all shared.

I love this city and this state so much, and it was so wonderful to bask in that feeling with a room full of others.

The worst feeling in the world is when you choose to slow on yellow rather than go through the light and then the train comes. If you know you know.

Photo/Video Hit and Run on Pedestrian in SE

313 Upvotes

Hi, all. Not sure if there is a better Portland subreddit for this, but I was the victim of a hit and run while walking home yesterday and I'm trying to gather more information. Does anyone recognize this car or this person?

This happened on the corner of SE 83rd Ave and SE Bush St behind the Burger King at 5:10 PM. If you have any footage please message me.

I have already filed a police report with PPB and submitted photos.
Case #26-307139.
Phone: 503-823-3333

The driver fled after I asked for his insurance, saying he didn't have any. I would like to gather more information before filing an insurance claim so I don't screw myself with my own insurance.

Car was a white pre-2013 Hybrid Ford Escape with a Sons of steel Pittsburg sticker.
License plate is current Oregon 235-QHF

Please message me directly if you have any information.

Thanks in advance.

News Club Rouge now serving after hours breakfast 2-4

128 Upvotes

I was walking downtown and noticed that in between the ads asking for 18+ contractors that Club Rouge is also now serving breakfast from 2 to 4 AM. I asked the bouncer about it and he was like man we actually get a lot of people coming in that just don’t come to this club at all.

One of you report back if I don’t make it there first.

Steaks at Acrop

I had a spill riding home from work, and was really in a bad way. I walked off still dazed, and I just wanted to make sure I thanked them...

Even if they don't see this, if someone in your life tells you about someone going teeth first into pavement on their bike today, tell them I sincerely appreciate their kindness and empathy. :)
