City Of Seattle Launches ‘Seattle Restored’ To Activate Vacant Storefronts Downtown

Big plans for the waterfront. They need to keep out the homeless, criminals and have safe parking. Neither of these interest the city of Portland. Neither does Seattle. Not sure about Vancouver. I'm sure their initial financial projections included slop over from Portland business travel and tourists. With the dems committed to killing private business and making air travel as unpleasant as possible - I don't know. Going to need a lot of safe housing and safe walking. That's what is killing the Pearl in Northwest Portland. Used to be able to leave your $700,000 high rise condo and walk all over the place. Great bars, restaurants and shops. Now I don't feel safe in the daytime let alone leaving a restaurant/bar after dark and going anywhere on foot.46XiJCAB said:
The Vancouver waterfront is going to be amazing when it’s fully completed. Just had lunch at Twigs Bistro today. Can’t wait for El Gaucho to arrive.MikeDamone said:
El Gaucho is coming to the Vancouver waterfront. Vancouver is going to take a big bite out of Portland’s ass in the next decade.WestlinnDuck said:
Have the wife's birthday coming up. Usually head to downtown Portland and have a great steak at either El Gaucho or the Ringside. Went to El Gaucho in July this summer for our anniversary and although the meal was fine, the death vibe of the downtown overshadowed the whole experience. Will find a place in burbs and take it from there. Maybe head to Bos Taurus in Bend and hope I don't run into Snow.Sledog said:So open stores with tax money so ANTIFA can burn them down? Great plan!

Twigs is a pretty amazing growth story. Started as essentially a little place in a tucked away strip mall off N. Division in Spokane in about 2002'ish. Nothing like their restaurants today. Essentially a coffee shop that served food. Nothing fancy at all. Added another location on S. Regal which did pretty well -got a little too upscale and then they fine tuned it and added a space in Riverpark Square in maybe 2008 or so. After the first couple locations, the founder divorced her husband (or vice versa) and took up with another guy who put it on steroids. Restaurants in WA, OR, ID and UT - and i think they may have just opened in TX.46XiJCAB said:

Downtown Portland seems to be full of hobos. When I crossed the river, there were plenty of Antifa looking freaks. There was also a ton of tagging on 84. I hadn't been there for like 20 years and it's as bad as Suckattle, plus there are Duck idiots, so it's really worse.

Sounds like she made a sound business decision. We’ve never had a bad meal there. My teens love the place.PurpleThrobber said:

Dosalas is the best restaurant down there. By far. Wildfin is good. Twigs is Ok. It's a chainWestlinnDuck said:

El Gaucho story. Couldn’t finish off the ribeye, waiter says he will box up. Sends a kid to take it back. We’re set to go and I say, no to go box?
Kid lost it. Manager comes over and apologizes. Ask if they can prepare another or get one to prepare myself. I go for option two. Chef comes out with steak boxed up and gives me cooking instructions.
All good. -
Hopefully the kid was beaten severely46XiJCAB said:El Gaucho story. Couldn’t finish off the ribeye, waiter says he will box up. Sends a kid to take it back. We’re set to go and I say, no to go box?

He probably ate it and then says “F, I was supposed to box that one up”.RaceBannon said:
