New To Portland

Hey Blazers fans,

I've moved to portland a short time ago and I'm looking for die hard Blazer fans to watch games with and go to the Rose Garden too.  I live in NE Portland, where there are not a lot of fans- at least I don't see that many people with jerseys.  Thanks... Richard

Welcome!

Welcome to Portland. What brought you to Portland? I love living here, but I always find it kind of weird how many people move here since it doesn’t seem like that “desirable” of a location. Did you come from a big city or a small town?

I'm from cali

but don’t worry, I’m a Laker hater. I’ve always hated Kobe, just up close and personal.

Ugh NE?

Hopefully you managed to settle yourself into one of the ‘good parts’.

I love the Vita in NE

I’m in SE where the hippies keep me safe.

by Bedhead on Jan 17, 2009 5:33 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

I saw some report about SE not actually being as safe as NE

In inner SE, all the hippies have these hangers-on that are really druggy and scummy. So there is actually a lot of property crime and crap in there and some violence.

Plus, if you get into outer SE, then you’re just asking for it. Lots of crime.

I’ve lived in North, NE, and SE. I like all the places, but surprisingly prefer N or NE. I like the Overlook area and Albina too, for places that aren’t crazy expensive.

I live here in "inner" se w/ the hippies

I wouldn’t say they keep me safe, mostly because of that whole “peace” thing.

You have nothing to worry about with crime

Take it from me, we are in paradise up here, when it comes to crime.

Will you at least carry a gun just in case?

and unloaded and your ammo has to be carried seperately from your firearm...

but then

you’d have to live in washington and worry about whether or not people are walking around with concealed guns or not.

my roommate has an arsenal here in “inner” SE though; guitars is what i like to put my mitts on.

what kind of guns does your roomie have?

and for what purpose? Protection? Target shooting? Hunting? Collecting?

heck no, I like guns and have several myself.

i would be seriously surprised

if a commenter on a PTB internet forum wearing a blazer’s jersey would be mistaken for a rival gang member.

don’t be scared.

lol...YOU CAN WEAR YOUR BLAZER GEAR ANY PLACE YOU LIKE!!!...

Violence over colors is a weeee bit old ….kinda like…mid 80’s old. n in my opinion only is a cheap excuse for other reasons for beating any given color wearing folks butt….

it’s a power thing not a color thing.

But I’ve made many many trips to ne/se/nw/central/south=)central portland decked out head to toe in the red black and silver n had no problems what so ever….and i’m the kinda bafoon that goes lookin for it.

Portland is as safe as your own living room to wear the Pride of portlands colors….n for all them blue wearin haters…….

they need to move back to the 13th street they came from!!! and it ain’t in gresham!!! purple would look better on em anyway….

stupid gangbangers.

no, you do not

well, maybe if you’re a gang member…

But seriously, while the gang situation has picked the last few months, residents of just about any other city in the country would laugh at how tame Portland is.

I always like Claudia's on SE Hawthorne

lots of fans, lots of tvs, amazing throne-like chairs at the bar.

what about

Katie O’brien’s on 28th and Sandy or the Rocky Butte Pub on Sandy?

by Bust a Bucket on Jan 17, 2009 11:20 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

I work on the same intersection as Katie O'Briens

decent place.. watched PSU get stomped by KU last March there..

next door is the best barbershop ran by scantily clad women that I have ever seen

Is that where you work?

let's see

it could be the barber, the auto place, the guitar/music store…

by Bust a Bucket on Jan 18, 2009 6:42 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

or the climbing place

by appel82 on Jan 18, 2009 7:47 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

well technically we are right off the intersection

across the street from Marina’s cafe next to the guitar/music store…

by idoltime on Jan 18, 2009 8:07 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

it's pretty hidden

behind the Enterprise there is a little shop called Phoenix Chiropractic and Massage or something like that that shares a building with a realty company called Affinity that rents its basement to a small research consultancy group where I work and occassional go across the intersection to Katie’s or to the Barber Babes.. with their very cool cops DVD

by idoltime on Jan 19, 2009 6:43 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

no but i had a really nice hair and beard cut their once

they gave me a beer, put on a DVD of cops, and the woman trimming me was in lingerie…

by idoltime on Jan 18, 2009 8:09 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

if you have a DVD of cops

you know you’re freaking awesome!

That’s sweet. I didn’t know Cops was on DVD… and if it was homemade, even more legendary…

by Bust a Bucket on Jan 18, 2009 9:03 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

this is insane

I think you all scared this dude. He’s new. Why would you bring up gang violence?

He lives in NE Portland. To everyone, specifically bust a bucket, have you even been to NEP? Freemont? Alberta? I feel safer there than I do downtown.

by northwestj on Jan 18, 2009 1:02 AM PST reply actions   0 recs

I lived in NoPo for 4 years

and NE for another 2.

And I loved it. I walked around drunk at night and never had a problem. My car was never messed with. My house was never messed with.

I agree with you about feeling safer than downtown. There are many more drugged-up wackos downtown.

I was just joking about the whole “don’t wear red” thing because of the recent stories of gang violence. They don’t shoot innocent people, they shoot rival gang members.

It was a joke and I don’t think he has to worry about anything. But I do like guns (that’s a side note).

by Bust a Bucket on Jan 18, 2009 1:20 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Alberta & Albina..

there are some issues in some of the hoods right around there..

but I feel safe everywhere in Portland.. it’s just not that bad.. try walking around the bad side of New Orleans or Detroit sometime.. I never feel in portland that i’m on the verge of being killed for my clothes and spare change

by idoltime on Jan 18, 2009 9:54 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

it has always struck me as odd

that more people here don’t set up small gatherings to watch games

the times they are a changin
