Mill Plain between Hearthwood/Park Crest and the Police station closed due to fallen power lines.

Avoid if you value your travel time, the lights around there are out and the road blocked. I saw a big flash like a firework as a truck passed by, and the cables fell and were on the ground arcing. Called 911 around 7:15ish and as of posting it is completely closed and traffic redirected. Stay safe out there!

Join Cycle Vancouver for a Festive Ride to Winter Wonderland! Sunday 5PM Group Ride

https://winterwonderlandportland.com/bike-the-lights/

Get ready to pedal into the holiday spirit this Sunday! Meet us at Esther Short Park at 5:00 PM, and we'll roll out at 5:30 PM for a magical group ride to Portland International Raceway (PIR) for their stunning Winter Wonderland light display.

What to Expect:

  • Ride Details: A relaxed pace of 10 MPH, perfect for enjoying the evening. It's a 3.6-mile route, taking about 20 minutes to reach PIR.
  • What to Bring: Bikes, lights, warm clothing, and your holiday cheer. We'll have hand warmers to share, so you can stay cozy in the cold weather.
  • Tickets: $16 per person – grab yours online before the event!
  • Weather Forecast: Clear and cold with little wind. Dress warmly!
  • Video Preview: https://youtu.be/Xdj_bPyyWBM?t=11

At PIR:

  • We'll join other bike groups for an extra dose of holiday energy, music, and camaraderie. Look for the heart-shaped bike trailer (NakedHeartsPDX) for their extra blast of holiday music!
  • Take a few laps around PIR (about 2miles a lap) to soak in the lights, sip on hot chocolate, and enjoy the festive atmosphere. Bring your holiday tunes to keep the vibes merry and bright!

Return Trip: We'll head back to Esther Short Park around 7:00 PM. Bonus warmup at Tap Union after.

Safety First:

  • Ride at your own risk. We'll stop to assist if you experience any mechanical issues, so don't hesitate to let us know if you need help.

Join us for a fun, festive evening celebrating the season on two wheels!

Shumway Neighborhood Police

Anyone know what’s going on? Drone overhead, multiple dogs, and an armed officer told us to get inside.

Barbacoa? Tamales? In search of homestyle Mexican food :)

Hi all. I have recently moved here from Texas, and am missing my Sunday morning barbacoa and Big Red. As the holidays approach, I would love to feel comforted by some of my fav Mexican dishes without all the prep and cleanup! If y’all have any recommendations for businesses in this area or adjacent, please let me know!

Unique restaurants in Vancouver

Looking for a unique, interesting vibe for dinner with my wife tonight. Not worried about the food quality but more about the experience. We are open to any types of food! Willing to go to Portland as well! Any recommendations are appreciated

Apparently the "Save our Streets" thing is international

I was surprised to see this exact kind of thing in a video from Montreal where nimby boomers are saying pretty much exactly what the locals are... and it would seem that everyone survived it when it went thru anyway. So as an interesting take on the post-streets-being-made-multi-user-friendly-apocalypse I thought it would post it for my fellow redditors as while it isn't directly related to Vancouver, it does touch on our similar local issue I've seen discussed a fair bit and so would be of interest:

What Business is missing from Vancouver?

Maybe a weird thought, are there any businesses or providers you feel are lacking in our area? Maybe something that just doesn't have a lot of quality options in our area etc.

Feral cat with kittens

What to do about a cat with kittens that you can't get close to on my street. They keep crossing the street, often with the mother and a kitten or two on one side waiting, while the rest are scared to cross because of traffic. They cross back and forth. The mama cat comes to my bird feed and water at times, to hunt and drink, so I refrain from feeding the birds. I can't afford to buy traps and I don't know how to keep them from getting run over. Who would even come save them? I don't even know where they actually stay.

Anyone remember Uncle Milt's Pizza?

I remember going there as a kid and it was so awesome. Great pizza, GIANT pipe organ, and even the building looked like an organ. The games were great, and the pink panther showed up!

I remember having a few pizza parties there. It was so unique, I wish it was still around.
