At Mt. Hood Avenue, trains going northbound use that stop to select into the PDX pocket track which is occasionally used, usually when construction is going on at PDX and only 1 train can only go into PDX at a time.

Feeling a little overwhelmed living in Portland lately cause there’s a cool event happening every weekend and I can’t clone myself and attend all of them 😭

This, medium rare steak, and Canadian Whiskey is healing me right now.

Also it’s absurd that this area (#VancouverWaterfront) is inaccessible by public transit; no buses get near the waterfront and the I5 bridge needs a TriMet MAX extension running through it.

I feel like a good e-bike and a bike ride on the Columbia River Gorge would heal me 🚵🏼‍♀️🤔

Gotta go to NW from Foster-Powell tomorrow, and it really underscores how much room for improvement our transit system has.

Powell AutoMAX would make this trip time competitive with driving btw.

The most powerful words you can say right now to these fascist bastards is:

"No, make me."

They cannot actually be everywhere and enforce their fascist policies. They rely on fear to do the job of governing for them. By refusing to comply, you make their means of compliance ineffective.

I can’t wait for more Type 1s to be decommissioned as more Type 6s go into service 🥰

Type 1s belong in a museum, not on the mainline 🙂‍↔️

I think it’s carbrained behavior for TriMet to add more parking capacity to an underused parking garage, when they could do development like Orenco and build apartments on top of the parking garage which would be conveniently next to the MAX 😔

Sign for "Ken's Artisan Bakery" with the tagline "Méthode Traditionnelle" hanging on a gray building. Below, a yellow sign reads "ANNEX" with a crossed rolling pin and whisk icon and the URL "www.kensartisan.com." The building has large windows with brown trim, and a barbershop is visible further down the street. Two pedestrians are walking along the sidewalk, which is lined with trees. The sky is overcast.

A display case filled with a variety of pastries, including croissants, tarts, and danishes. Labels on the top shelf show items like "Valrhona Chocolate Croissant" for $5.85, "Almond Croissant" for $5.24, and "Pure Butter Croissant" for $4.75. The second shelf contains vibrant tarts and pastries topped with fruit, such as "Mixed Grape Tarte" and "Danish Lemon." The bottom shelf holds slices of quiche with different fillings, labeled "Fresh Cheese & Herbs" and "Spinach & Gruyère." The display case has a clear front with metal tags displaying prices.

A glass of iced coffee sits on a wooden table next to an almond croissant on a small white plate. The croissant is dusted with powdered sugar and topped with sliced almonds, with a bite taken out of one corner. The wall behind is painted white and teal. The iced coffee is light brown with visible ice cubes.

I love living in Portland and going on silly little adventures taking public transit to get errands done and eating croissants and drinking iced coffee at a cute bakery 🥐☕️🥰
