Anonymous asked: I read your post about food carts coming to Seattle. There's not very many around here, However there's a severe smattering of good restaurants IN seattle itself and it could be a hard sell. Anyone looking to move to seattle might do well in Capitol Hill and some of the more college-esque neighborhoods. They might also do well if they extend into other cities or outlying areas around...

Let the food cart exodus to Seattle begin
This summer, after months of dumb hand-wringing, Seattle decided to relax its food cart regulations, opening the door to dozens of trucks to begin hawking amazing/awful burritos and veggie burgers and whatnot. Folks in Seattle were excited about this. Food from carts! Carts that serve food! Now, it seems Portland food carts are excited about the prospect, too.
Earlier this month, the folks...

I feel compelled to comment on the stock photos of...
Occasionally, one of the very peripheral duties at my job is to ask business-y people for their stock, website-ready photographs, look at the photographs when I receive them, and then thank the person for sending the photograph before forwarding it along to another person at my company. Again, a very peripheral part of my duties.
Still, whenever I do this photo examining and forwarding, I feel...

Well, we have another one for you. Introducing the Portland Flea.

The Modern Man Barber Shop opens today, hooray →
It’s about fucking time the 15 dudes in Portland who actually shave will have a decent, local alternative to The Art of Shaving’s overpriced shave supplies. Sure, AOS is ok. I use their stuff from time to time. But anytime there’s a local shop you can make your one-stop for all things shaving-related, you go with that option. That’s just a no-brainer right there.
I...

Because they are actual fucking deathtraps and will kill you.
I’m telling you, the first person that invents something that keeps bike tires from getting stuck in those tracks gets a street named after him, her, gender-unspecific “it”, whatever.
KATU News publishes unhelpful bike theft story,... →
Ugh, the KATU News. Not only do they publish a sort of useless story about a “rise in bike thefts” or whatever (the number has gone up two years in a row, oh heavens!), but then they can’t help but fall all over themselves acting like asses to Bike Portland founder Jonathan Maus. What did dude ever do to you guys, huh?
The story points out that bike thefts have risen from 175...

I know, I know. Spring’s long gone. Won’t be back for another 1,000 months or whatever. But still! The good folks at Oregon Children’s Theatre are putting on a big-assed costume/vintage/fancy lady’s hat sale this weekend, just in time for Halloween. Now: We at Stumptown Magazine don’t condone buying nice vintage clothes just to wear one time, as a joke, on...

The iPhone Slutz are a bunch of quitters →
Oh noes, the iPhoneSlutz, Cascadia.fm’s longrunning podcast show deal about iPhone apps, has apparently ended. It ran for more than two years, which is like 100 years in internet radio time, so good for them.
But oh my god you guys, now where is everyone going to find reviews of iPhone apps? Ha ha, in like a billion different places on the galactic internets; like anywhere you look,...
