| '''Secret Revealed: [[South Waterfront]] Is Actually Portland's Most Overpriced Film Prop'''<br /> | |
| And you thought South Waterfront was merely "a highrise wasteland of condos no one lives in." But for "budgetless" film directors "it’s a filmmaker’s dream." Why? If you "want to film a scene with a skyscraper environment without the hassles of random people interrupting your shot" the "very deadness of [[South Waterfront|SoWat]] makes it (an) ideal (location). You’ve got skyscrapers, busses, the streetcar, the tram, the river. And now there’s even a really cute park. It all feels pretty generic.... It could be any city."<br />

| Sure, the Environmental Protection Agency paddled [[Portland General Electric]] on the bum bum earlier this month to punish the utility for the coal-fired air pollution its [[Boardman]] plant inflicts on breathing life forms. Despite these sins, the [[City of Portland]] managed to crawl onto "EPA's elite list of [[Green Power Communities]] for the city's extensive efforts to reduce its carbon footprint."<br />

| '''Barack Does [[Bridge City]]'''<br />
| |
| As the President rolls through Portland today, the burning question on the tip of every [[Portlandia|Portlandian]]'s wagging tongue is: "Does Obama support U.S. Predator Drone Bombing Policy (USPDBP) in his ''Heart of Hearts'' (HoH)? Or is this kind of depraved folly the product of a Spiritually Dead National Security Policy (SDNSP) imposed by Nefarious Deep State Forces (NDSF) that infest the Wretched Bowels of the National Security State (WBNSS)?" Enquiring minds want to know!<br />
