Rate This City: Day 65 - Portland OR

[Eastside Get The Money]

I’m here right now for the first time I give it a 0

Boring and weird for no reason. No nightlife and the strip clubs I’ve been hearing about were wack. And downtown was spooky last night. Took a wrong turn walking down burnside and yikes

I’ll give the Oregon coast another chance on another date but Portland ain’t it

1/10 any breh will tell you that Portland is terrible, lived there for 4 years, the people are affable and weed is legal, that's about it. If there's anything you like about Portland, I guarantee you'll find a better version of it in San Francisco or Seattle.

[Blown Moon]

Rosa Parks Way is off of exit 304 and I don't think that's a coincidence. That's all.

Hilarious so many brehs (including myself) went for work or some shyt and left with the same impression

The Cacs are passive aggressive and spineless so even if they feel a way you can easily impose your will, it kinda feels like what Reddit is if it were a city. 40 year old white guys playing street hockey tryna relive rocket power type vibes.

A lot of the local black people WILL feel some type of way if you're from a place that's "blacker" than them, sometimes it hate, sometimes it's a weird fixation.

The food is all gentrified versions of other people's shyt, I went to a breakfast spot downtown and they didn't even know how to make sweet tea...was heating up pre-made grits in a microwave, but marketed themselves as southern dining


Food trucks are cool but it gets cold out there so you ain't doing that super often.

You can feast on pawgs if that's your thing, Imo they are the same exact type of weird as ole girl from Get Out so it's not worth it for ya mental

I was working with people from all over the planet so I just was working my way around the studio like a hoe



City is pretty as hell come spring/summer, if you could swap the people out with citizens from spots with a lil more flavor to em it'd be cool

But you're honestly better off going to Seattle, way better vibes it's not even close

Can you elaborate more on how black people feel some kinda way if you're visiting from a city blacker then them. What kinda fixation would they have?
