Hi r/Portland! Can anyone recommend the best record stores in Portland, OR? (cross-post from r/vinyl) by okletstrythisagainin Portland

[–]the_jowo 1 point2 points ago

I would suggest checking out Exiled Records and Music Millennium. They're both great places, and not too far away from each other.

Michigan's number one export is educated people.

Oregon Gas Prices by GutFiddlerin oregon

[–]the_jowo 3 points4 points ago

That's part of it, but also moves like this come into question, "The largest refinery cartel in California decided to schedule ‘maintenance’ just before Memorial Day weekend and create a shortage resulting in increased prices." This is a pretty interesting article: DeFazio calls for investigation into West Coast gas prices *typo

Either this is a group of people working together, or this guy has a lot of names. These names all come up with the same phone number, and add: 1. Silas 2. Jason 3. Theodore 4.Craig

I'd call the Apple Store and ask if they're aware of any scams that operate like this. Somethings not right here.

I guess it's been awhile since I've been there. Too bad they closed down, it was a good place.

I like Guapo Comics & Books. It doesn't have the largest selection, but I never leave empty handed.

Great Hiking/camping spots for Mother's day? by wackkin Portland

[–]the_jowo 0 points1 point ago

It may be too early in the year, but the hike from Lolo Pass to Bald Mountain is a great one with amazing views of Mount Hood. It's not very long, more of a good day hike. It has the added bonus of being part of PCT so you could camp almost anywhere.

Has anyone had issues with property management refusing to take care of mold issues? by CodyGin Portland

[–]the_jowo 1 point2 points ago

I'm actually dealing with a very similar situation myself. As others have said document everything (you can’t have too much documentation), and contact the Community Alliance of Tenants. Also, let the management company know you are aware of your rights.

Here is some state law that pertains to your (our) situation: Oregon State Bar: Rights and Duties of Tenants - "...Second, you have the right to a “habitable” home. This means that the property must be safe and sanitary...If a landlord refuses to provide certain kinds of services, and if you did not cause the problem, you may correct the problem if you first give written notice to the landlord. In the written notice, be sure to define the problem and give the landlord a reasonable amount of time to make the repairs. In some circumstances, you may then deduct the cost of the repairs from your rent, after submitting the receipts to the landlord."

Since your situation sounds like you need a professional to take care of the mold-removal and cleaning, I would not try to tackle it myself. You can (in very serious situations) open up an escrow account and pay your rent on time to the bank. The management company will only then be able to collect their rent after the necessary improvements have been made. The folks at CAT can explain in further detail about doing this. Good luck.

Does any one know if the City of Portland is allowed to leave their crap on my property like this? by PDXAngrydudein Portland

[–]the_jowo 1 point2 points ago

City property. Also, they'll fine you exorbitant amounts of money if you don't maintain it. Good times..

I highly recommend checking out title wave. It's a used bookstore run by the multnomah county library.

Moving cross country to Portland. by Mountain_Ryanin Portland

[–]the_jowo 0 points1 point ago

It all depends on where your experience is, front of house, back of house, tending, expediting, etc. Although to get a job here in the service industry, it's more who you know and not what you know.

Where is a nice place to have dinner for two? by NotHimAgainin Portland

[–]the_jowo 5 points6 points ago*

For great food and atmosphere I would suggest Park Kitchen, Genoa, or Nedd Ludd. If you're leaning more to a place with a nice outdoor area. Veritable Quandary has a nice little patio seating with some nice lighting.

I thought my bf and I had some pretty awesome Halloween costumes. Unfortunately, only two people at the party had any idea who we were. We need cooler friends. by ItWillBeMinein doctorwho

[–]the_jowo 3 points4 points ago

I’m going to need a SWAT team ready to mobilize, street over maps covering all of Florida, a pot of coffee, twelve Jammie Dodgers and a fez.

I'm moving to Portland next month and know absolutely no one. Could someone redirect me to some helpful teenagers? by wineXredin Portland

[–]the_jowo 1 point2 points ago

Once you find a place to live, take a look on their website and see which community center is closest to you. Then just go on down there or call them and see what events are coming up. Here's the link to the site: Teen Force.

You're a great mod. If you don't mind doing it, and it makes people happy, go for it.

[–]the_jowo -2 points-1 points ago

Click the down vote, don't respond, and move on. The mod's don't need to waste their time creating a side bar link.

What's good May 4/5/6? by pdxsunshinein Portland

[–]the_jowo 0 points1 point ago

The city offers alcohol permits for the parks for about $35. Spend all day hanging outside, drinking, and grilling (you can reserve a shelter spot in case of the wetness).
