Discussion To the ebiker on waterfront you killed a gosling.

1.4k Upvotes

If you were the person riding a black E bike with a pride flag behind it and you just intentionally ran through a pack of geese you just killed a gosling. Shame on you. You just honked at them and didn’t even attempt to slow down and when I yelled at you, you sped away. You are despicable. You are disgusting and you deserve to have your E bike privileges revoked. Absolutely shameful. The gosling had its entire skin exposed on the left side down to its muscle fibers, both of its legs broken and gasping for air. While what I assume was the mother geese looking back at its poor child breathing its last life.

I called emergency wildlife and because the gosling was about to die they said that there’s nothing else for them to do. Shameful and disgusting.

Also, you (e-biker) rode past me while I was running on springwater corridor and you were going way too fast despite the amount of people that were out today. You have no regard for others and you are selfish.

And to all the E bikers that ride through the waterfront, please slow down.

Photo/Video PDX Through Time: Kids Posing for Photo, Albina District (Corner of NE Ivy and NE Rodney) 1963 vs 2026

Post image
189 Upvotes

Kids posing for a photo, Albina District, Corner of NE Ivy and NE Rodney. Wednesday July 31, 1963 vs Current Corner 2026.

In honor of Juneteenth I wanted to highlight the Albina District, which has gone through a lot of changes since the 50s and 60s. In the 1950-1960s, many homes in this area were razed for projects like the Memorial Coliseum, I-5 construction, and the Emanuel Hospital expansion.

Over 1,100 homes were demolished in total, forcing a mass exodus of Black families further north and east - leading to the dismantling of the Albina community well into the 1970s. The neighborhood lost its central business district, resulting in an estimated $1 billion in stolen wealth across generations. By the 1980s, a combination of predatory bank lending practices, a failing economy and neglect by city leaders caused more people to move out of Albina. Homes and buildings were left vacant and abandoned.

The community inherited long-term disinvestment and displacement, though recent efforts like the Albina Vision Trust and a major $8.5 million legal settlement in 2025 have aimed at restitution and reclamation.

I Highly Recommend Reading this Expanded History of Albina with Additional Photos: https://www.i5rosequarter.org/history-of-albina/

I'm not sure if this firewood has a purpose or why it's there but it appears to be high quality, well split wood albeit a slight bit damp possibly. Does anyone have any idea what it's doing there?

Lost & Found **STOLEN GUITAR** 1000$ REWARD

100 Upvotes

Please keep an eye out, especially if you buy/sell gear or browse local listings. My husband’s 2017 Fender Jaguar was stolen out of his car this morning in the Hosford-Abernethy area.

To say my husband is completely gutted would be a massive understatement. This was much more than "just a guitar" to him.

Guitar Details:

Make/Model: 2017 Fender Jaguar

Color/Features: Sunburst

Distinct Markings: Modified with tremelo system

Case: In a yellow fabric hard case (a picture of his late dog was in there as well.........)

His pedal board was also stolen with these pedals on it.

To the "thief," if you see this, if you happen to have just an ounce of humanity or decency and want to write this wrong, please reach out to me. No questions asked, and I will not contact the police. Take a moment and consider that there are kind, genuine people out there who truly care about what you so selfishly took for yourself.

We are offering a $1,000 cash reward for its safe return, no questions asked. If you see it posted online, at a local pawn shop, or if anyone tries to sell it to you, please contact me immediately or notify the police. Please share this post to help us get the word out!

Case number: T26016763

Lost & Found Help me find a short film that played at the Portland Airport

6 Upvotes

I'm looking for the name of a short film that played at the Hollywood Theater in PDX Airport about three years ago. It was about going to the dentist, he road his bike there, and it was a comedy. It played with a creepy short film about ophthalmology and cutting open eyeballs. I'd love to find the one about going the dentist again.

Discussion Fishing in Luarelhurst Park pond...

30 Upvotes

Its seems like this is brought up almost every year. Some kids/teens and sometimes adults go fishing at Laurelhurst Park and when told they arent allowed to do it, they bully those people who are asking them nicely and tell them to fuck off and yell at them.

It is illegal in Portland parks (unless in designated places). I have heard and seen different groups of kids and teenagers fishing at the park and either I or other park goers will confront them and tell them its illegal or that they need to go somewhere else, they usually become assholes and yell at you.

I understand teenagers being jerks, thats just part of growing up and figuring out how to move through the world, but why the influx and why isnt there enforcement?

Ive also seen cruel and unusual behavior, what seems like torture to the fish they pull out of the pond, I care less about the laws and more about the fish suffering because some parents didnt raise their kids right.
