The last time I was in Portland was like 7 years ago. My wife and myself did the food truck thing, we saw it on TV and we were like that looks like fun. You know bouncing from truck to truck eating local fare, drinking, etc..
Yeah, terrible decision. We were relentlessly bothered by homeless for money, and these were not old school homeless, rather young and opiate addicted pieces of shit. We literally were accosted in line by the equivalent of AIDS patients with track marks. The oldest might have been 25 years old.
We stayed at the Embassy Suites and I had a cigar and decided to take a few puffs outside. I was not even done lighting it and some drug addicted freak was asking me for money. I mean that city is just an enormous piece of shit and I am very happy it is cratering. If there was every a real life version of Escape from New York it needs to be Portland.
