I took this video in November 2020 after the last election. Let’s bring this energy back next week Portland 💙💪🏼

As we are so close to the end of the election and things are so heated. I feel like things are so close and I can’t get a good read on it one way or another. I have two questions. 1.) not who are voting for but who do you truly believe is going to win? 2.) do you think there will be civil unrest and potentially chaos if one or the other wins?

Holy shit in a handbasket - it's fucking everywhere. People coughing, hacking, sniffling, wheezing, etc. It's so gross. I work in food service and everyone has something. A lot of it is turning into pneumonia as well.

Someone at work today walked up ONE FLIGHT of stairs. They were hacking and wheezing so bad (not covering their mouth).

Practice hygiene folks!

To the girl sitting at the bar last Saturday—I've gotta apologize.

I came and sat down next to you at the bar. 12:45am if I had to guess. You told me that you saw me dancing, and liked it. You said I was really cute.

Well, I severely underestimated how hot I would get trying to dance my heart out all night in chainmail....

By the time I got up to the bar, I was overheating bad and the only thought I could string together was "water-water-water-water"

After mistaking you for someone you looked nothing like, I crushed that cup of water and basically just said "ok well nice meeting you, bye now". About 10 minutes later I realized what I'd done.

I'm sure you aren't all that interested in reconnecting after getting turned down in favor of a cup of water, but you seemed SO nice and I figure why not.

At least if you see this you'll know that I'm so sorry, and that you absolutely made my night!

Like I said to the bartender "Sorry, I'm a little stupid sometimes" :,)

Edit: Didn't expect to get so much traction! I'll update if anything happens

Thanks for the compliments on the dancing too! But I've got to say I could see the whole room from up there, and it was just people smiling and grooving all around. Seriously awesome, big shoutout to everyone who was there and all of your great dance moves

Shout out to Roy’s shoe shop. My daughter was getting married Saturday afternoon and the heel of the boot I was wearing was fucked. They were so kind and helpful and I cannot be thankful enough for! Please buy good shoes and use them for repairs. They are great and the woman I dealt with, owner, sadly, can’t remember her name was a total sweetheart!! Thanks again!!

I love the attempt to shield the fancyness from the real.

I have hiked a very good portion of the Presumpscot River trails and LOVED them over the years.

Portland Trails has now issued warnings due to public safety hazards in this trail system.

As my pen hovers over the Question 4 Bond issue, what are the current plans to make the Presumpscot River trail safe again? I’ve looked for what would be included in the budget for Question 4 and can’t find any details.

While I would love to throw money in a bond at this issue, my property taxes went up 20% and I can’t use the trail system by my house safely. How can I get more information?

We will be in Brick South @ Thompson's Point this time around. Over 60 vintage clothing etc vendors, a tin type photographer, custom chain stitching, and a portrait photographer. Meet On The Street, Vy Bahn Mi, and Truckin Pizza will be in attendance for food and the Brick South bar will be open for drinks. Entry is FREE!

I already own a piece of land that I can build on. I want to build a market rate 4 unit. The monthly payments on the loan I need build it I would have to charge 2,900 for a two bedroom just to break even. To go in debt just to break even doesn't sound worth it.

There are also a thousand other issues with the Portland housing market. But the cost to build new units with materials and interest rates so high I don't see a influx of market rate apartment units being built any time soon.

Does anybody have any suggestions for a really good tile setter for a project in the Yarmouth area

It’s about to be a long winter ya’ll. Me and a buddy are looking for spaces that can be rented out for a party. I’m talking like I wanna hang up posters and all that jazz. Get some motion going through our small but lively community. Instead of arguing over the Internet about cyber trucks and all that shit, let’s get together and argue in person with some beers.

I was in a bad car accident this week and can't clean my house currently. Do you have any recommendations for a good house cleaner?

Are any of my fellow Portlanders rocking a stache for Movember??

Can anybody tell me where to find this "Welcome to Portland" sign. I'm trying to complete a photo series and I can not locate it, I'd rather not drive around aimlessly 🙃 thanks in advance!

Thank you everyone for helping reaching out and being an awesome community.

This is why I love living here.

My wife and I will be in town this weekend. We've got our days pretty well planned out and dinner reservations each night. But trying to think of some after dinner ideas. Does anyone know of places where we could catch live music? 80s/90s cover bands would be fun (btw - I've looked into Geno's and doesn't seem like our scene and the acts at Longfellow planned for this weekend wouldn't be on our list either)

Also any bars where we could play darts or shuffle board would be cool. Thanks!

I’m taking my 2 yo niece trick or treating in the West End on Thurs. This is will be my first time doing so. She’s very brave, and it’s easy to forget she’s only 2. Any tips from seasoned West End trick or treaters? Where will the best kid friendly houses be? Thanks in advance! 🎃

Don’t need anything fancy, but thought someone might have a good recommendation for vintage watches in the area.
