Mexican comfort food restaurant Ole Frijole closed May 4. They cited "labor shortages, increasing high cost of food and labor, and the increasing costs of leasing this building" as reasons for closing. The property is currently Under Contract. bridgetownbites.com/2024/06/… #portland

My @delta flight got canceled from JFK. The customer service line was huge, so I google a Delta JFK phone number. The number was 1888-571-4869 Thinking I reached Delta, I started telling them about getting me on a new flight.

I experienced the LA G Line and I have been forever changed. 🧵
The G Line is a BRT Line through the San Fernando Valley in an old interurban right of way.
What makes it special is that it doesn't have painted bust lanes, it uses a busway. Basically, a dedicated bus only road. – at St Louis, MO

(deep sigh) All six wildfires in the Pacific Cascade Region this weekend were caused by fireworks.
ALT Wildland firefighter Michael Scott expresses disbelief that someone would be reckless with their fireworks. "When I specifically asked you not to?" he says, reflecting on how he asked SO NICELY, too.

"The report said that Temu and Shein alone are likely responsible for almost 600,000 packages shipped to the United States daily under the de minimis rule."
1/3 packages entering 🇺🇸 may be avoiding scrutiny for Uyghur forced labor.

Who is the most high-agency person you've never heard of?
Rudolf Vrba.
He escaped Auschwitz by soaking himself in gasoline -- to give a memo to Churchill, Roosevelt, and the Pope.
Meet the man who saved 200,000 lives from the Nazis:
Ate a bunch of delicious things today while out and about enjoying our fair city: cowboy cookie at @zuckercreme; orange blossom lemonade, tabbouli, and kabob platter at @yahalapdx; and gelato at @pinologelato. A delicious day overall. #portland #pdxfood… instagr.am/p/Cshnnk_P-Su/
Finally made it to @reevapnw tonight and boy, was it good! We chose a pepperoni pie, and their version has more toppings than your average pepperoni pizza - along with the pepps (which are the superior ones that cup) and cheese, are onion, jalapeños, and… instagr.am/p/CsfZSCaLKa7/
For lunch on Friday we headed to @elsombreropdx for a sit-down Mexican lunch and really enjoyed our food there. The decor is extravagant and fun, and I’m sure there is a name for this kind of design. I liked how colorful and eye-catching it was.

Last night I met up with @fooditka for a meal at @phuketcafepdx and it did not disappoint. We tried some NA drinks - the Higher Revelations cocktail for me: passion fruit, OJ, makrut lime, coconut milk, orange blossom; and Thai iced tea for Judith. We ha… instagr.am/p/CsaF2o4Lw95/
