Looking for a place in Portland. When I was scouting here I subletted up by Alberta. This time I’d been looking more SE. Lined up some places around Hawthorne to look into and I’ve been checking out the neighborhood. It’s a little… undergraduate? That’s not exactly it. There are also happy grey-haired burghers and the girl whose apartment I just checked out, a 27-year-old spiritual healer, which is maybe like being a professional CFWG?
\nI guess it’s that people don’t feel like they’ve been scuffed up enough? Also the bars/restaurants are more, ah, themed, and bigger and less personal.
\nWhich, given that my beef with Alberta was that it was kind of isolated and going out to bars at night there were too many damage cases…
\nThis bowl’s too edgy! This bowl’s not edgy enough!
