Only this weekend sadly, but hopefully Nightlight does this again cause damn.
Well damn! This weekend definitely doesn't work well for me in going to get that but I might have to start following them on Instagram just to try to catch when they bring it back for another weekend. Thanks for catching that and letting me know!
I-5 is a fucking crawl but otherwise things are running smoothly.
Yeah :)
Classes were cancelled, so I went for a hike at Hoyt Arboretum.
I may post pictures later.
Speaking of that general area, have you checked out the dive bar Pops? I was there drunk one evening and think I like it.
Tis the Oregon way.
I wanted to work from home and thankfully the snow gave me a double reason to do so. Not only could I argue I just didn't want to walk both ways in the snow but 30 minutes before I was thinking of starting I got a call that the office was closing early.
Thankfully now I almost never drive so snow isn't that big of an issue. I live a block away from Fred Meyer so I can easily walk over and get anything if we do get a bunch of snow as I saw predicted earlier.

No! I moved up here a few months ago from SE and I still have tons of exploring to do. I'll check it out!
Does anyone know of any good soccer bars in the area? I'm getting laid off in a month and I can't seem to find any, so I was thinking that maybe it's time for a change and I should open one.
Also, does anyone know what makes up the sauce that goes on the green machine? I had one the other night and I can't figure it out. I think it's an aioli with cilantro and sweet chile sauce?
The big one in the general area would be Prost! Then there is the Mad Greek on E. Burnside.
Yeah, I know both of those. I was thinking something similar to 442 but without the shitty owner. I'm not really a fan of Prost.
Roads are still looking fine so far, it's the ice that may be the kicker for you.
How's the ice usually on the I-5? I'm headed to the Downtown Waterfront Marriot, so it's basically all I-5, then about a mile of city streets.
Depends. It can get real shitty if they aren't on top of it, especially through the curves.
As long as the temp does not drop too low, everything will be fine. It's the freezing rain that sucks.
Bazi Bierbrasserie, just off Hawthorne on 32nd, has an excellent selection of European ales (strong emphasis towards Belgian) and they always have soccer playing. Granted, I haven't been there in a year or more, but they had pretty good food as well. Not cheap, but if you like soccer, they tend to have it running on a projector.
Visited pdx in 2015, couchsurfed at a couple in SE, and it was a simply awesome city to visit. :) Ground Kontrol was the best ever!
Hey portlanders, gonna be in Portland for a few days in may. What are the top coffee spots to check out? I've had Stumptown based on availability in Southern California, nothing else. I'll probably yelp it but I want to know the must visits.
You guys have a great OT, can't wait to visit for my second time.

Portland roasting is one of my favorites. But I'm not real picky about coffee, so I don't know how coffee snobs rank them.
I don't mind "not picky" I'm more of a snob than my gf. If it's got a good environment (the store itself and some surrounding shop areas) and solid coffee, we're set.
Any shops must sees in Portland? I'm a nerd and we both like shopping for clothes. We're easy to please tbh.

Coffee Time and Commissary have good atmosphere and relatively close to each other. My GF loves their lattes.
Guardian Games is an overwhelming board game/hobby shop.
Game Knight is a board game bar.
Pioneer mall has some decent clothing boutiques and the consignment shops in Portland are really good.
If you like books at all, you have to visit Powell's. It's a massive bookstore in downtown Portland, pretty conveniently located to other downtown attractions.
Perfect weather for outdoor stuff:
-Japanese Gardens and Rose Gardens (rose is free and Japanese has a fee, but also has guides for history/info).
-lots of parks and trail - really can't go wrong with any.
-just go walking and exploring around downtown and Pearl districts.
I'm always on the lookout for recommendations as well, haha
Weather is hit or miss until like June/July, that's when it gets warmer. Might be some rain here or there but should be in the 50's or low 60's.
Like what is it that you are wanting to do here?

Their pho sandwich was really good. Fries are top notch toomsdstc go get a Korean Pork Shoulder sandwich from Lardo (there is one downtown and one on Division). It may be my favorite sandwich in town.
My mouth waters just thinking about it.
Thanks for quoting you just made me realize I put Division instead of Hawthorne.
I concur Will!
Lookin to meet other Portlanders who just wanna hang out.
