Thank God! I'm moving to Newberg, Oregon (about 23 miles southwest of Portland, along old Oregon Highway 99W.) The people here are far more conservative (George Fox University, a Christian college, is located here.) This will remove me from the "druggie/alcoholic" environs of the southeast side of "stumptown." People live a far more civilized life style here.

I will NOT miss living in the degenerated "inner city!"

What in Scagel's name are you yammering about, son, and what does it have to do with knives?
 
All I know is many knife manufacturers are in the area he's talking about: Kai, Gerber, CRKT.

Not a thing. He doesn't like the "inner city" of Portland which is about as mild as you can possibly get for a city. He's moving out to a more rural area.

And it has to do with knives how, and we care why?

Is this the guy with the sjambok for fending off the people with addictions?
 
Capps, you are moving right next to me. I need good neighbors so I applaud your move out of sinner's paradise and into hicks in the sticks hill country. If you want to do something uplifting, unaided by modern or antique chemistry, try a walk in the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge right here. I will see you at the Kershaw Factory Sale in November. Have a smooth move and welcome to the area.:thumbup:

It is, but you must realize how bad SE Portland is getting. (24/7 police activity, drunken fights round-the-clock) and so on. It peaks during the warmer months. (Late spring, summertime, early autumn.)

Well Captain, I could recommend a vacation spot for you just to give you a bit of perspective.

Bangladesh, Somalia, couple places in Central America. The weather would be glorious, but I suspect it would have you clamoring to get back to Good Ol' Portland... any part of it.... in about 10 minutes.

No kidding. Every city has bad neighborhoods. To say the entire city is degenerate because of one of them is lame. Especially when we're talking Portland here. PORTLAND!...LOL. Whatever. Have a good move.

Crime

According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Report in 2009, Portland ranked 53rd in violent crime out of the top 75 U.S. cities with a population greater than 250,000.[188] The murder rate in Portland from 2005 to 2009 averaged 3.9 murders per 100,000 people per year, which was lower than the national average. For crimes other than murder, Portland is generally somewhat higher than the national average. In October 2009, Forbes magazine rated Portland as the third safest city in America.[189][190]

And again, what does any of this have to do with knives?

And as a Chicagoan, I can't imagine the horrors you must face each day.

"That gentleman almost spilled his microbrew on me!"
"That Korean barbeque taco food truck honked at me!"
"Gah!"

That darned rain got my perfectly groomed hair wet!
 
I can't fit into my tight pants anymore!

LMAO This was awesome.

It could be added to as well:

"Can you believe this store wouldn't give me a discount on this pack of organic cotton v-neck tee-shirts?"
"The barber trimmed my hair incorrectly, now I won't be able to comb it all to the right!"
"This hipster beard creme doesn't straighten my beard out enough!"
 
You could always send in John Dalton, he'd clean up that hellhole lickety-split. :thumbup:
