Yes!! NE/E Portland rise up

 

Speaking of underrated East Portland things, OK Noodle on 122nd and division, unlike its name, is kind of fire. Handmade noodles that are reasonably priced, no frills location, etc. I'm sure 82nd nearby is full of great noodz but OK is great espesh for what it is imo. Also Yuan Su Vegetarian on like 112th and Powell

 

thinking about moving to portland from NYC for school but know next to no one there. what should i do chorus fm

 

This week? Bring sunscreen

 

nah more like the beginning of fall but weirdly i was in the pnw last month and it totally was sunnier than its been in ny generally ‍♀️

 

What school are you thinking of, if that's not too intrusive? The different schools def come with a different vibe depending on which

I'm sure this is true of many cities, but pdx is still struggling from COVID and some parts of downtown feel a bit eerie. Not in the weird war-ravaged ways that republican folks often portray imo but more vacant. Lots of vacant buildings and closed businesses downtown compared to when I lived down there pre-covid. But I do think the city offers a lot of cool community events for a large variety of interests and things are slowly but surely coming back. Every neighborhood has its own feel and often puts on different cool things. I recently met someone who just moved here from the Midwest and they are loving it and said they've felt very welcomed and supported.

Def do your research on which neighborhood feels right or convenient for you. I think our public transport is decent and have had good luck taking it as a woman who's often alone. I feel like there's been more transit security on board and at stops lately. I think we're also v bike friendly but maybe not as many cyclists compared to new york

Biggest complaint is that when it's hot it's HOT. Lots of older buildings don't have ACs cause I feel like it didn't used to get so hot. So I feel like sometimes when it's really hot or really cold the city isn't always super able to handle it and power goes out and stuff. But I've always gotten pretty lucky with that too. All the places I've lived have central AC and I've been fairly lucky with my power staying on too *knock on wood*

But I also don't think a lot of these things are Portland-exclusive
