Portland, Oregon is nearly dead last on the list of cities where tourists and conventioneers want to spend money and time. And it makes sense. Portland is circling the drain.
The leaderless city from which police are fleeing, where Antifa thugs are ascendant, and which people in nearby towns avoid, is dying before our eyes.
Elected Leftists can’t seem to prioritize problems or affect solutions beyond spending more money to study an issue or giving out more freebies via their favorite NGO’s to “fix” problems for them. Grift being what it is, problems don’t get solved.
Leftists have tried hard to mold the one-time jewel of a city into their socialist utopia.
The city’s “Travel Portland” tourism CEO, Jeff Miller, says nobody wants to visit their utopia. Miller told the commissioners, “Portland has declined to the lowest levels of being a likely destination for delegates to attend a conference.” And it comes down to only a few things. “Portland-specific issues that are related to civil unrest and public safety concerns have exacerbated the negative occurrences of declining attendance and group cancellations.”

Miller told Mayor Wheeler and the council, “Continued attacks and breaking glass on buildings throughout the city, but especially downtown, continued to affect this hard to overcome sentiment. Our central city occupancy in September lags every competitive city we tracked.”
The only worse city was Minneapolis, which was also set on fire by Antifa and BLM, where cops are more hated, and where the Left has a firm hold on...

I'm a leaded glass artist and even though I roll my own sheet glass, there was a manufacturing facility in Portland that made beautiful production opalescent glass. I would go to Portland several times a year to supervise custom runs or just to look through their racks at the end of run glass that was called uncategorized. Some beautiful and unique glass.
Anyway, I'd usually stay over and enjoy the city. Very eclectic-good pubs and restaurants. Beautifully situated.
Uroborus closed years ago and there's just no way you'd catch me in Portland.
Now I'm 1 ferry ride from Seattle, a city I used to visit a couple times a year from Denver to enjoy it's amenities. Now, even being so close, I avoid it like the plague.
Fact is every thing REgressives touch is turned to shit.
Let me say it, "HA HA HA!!!" Enjoy your communism....
I live in a beautiful town by a lake in Idaho, for the last 45 years we have had a huge infestation of Californians which of course brings out the idiot liberals trying to save us from ourselves. We haven't had a monster snow season for 20 years which before was always good for driving a percentage of them back to Hell. They claim that they won't vote for any of the dumb sh#t stuff they did in California but they lie. Pay attention when you get a big influx from liberal states, they infiltrate schools, local govt and then things start to look like what they left behind. Pray for a Ice Age, I am.
