This is a community for all Portlanders, past, present or future!

Basic Rules/Info:

• Use an lj-cut for long posts or large photos. If you don't know how to use lj-cut, this will help.
  
• In multi-photo posts, post one example photo, and place all following photos under an lj-cut.
  
• Portland is the center-core of the universe, thus nothing is "off-topic." So, go ahead ... post it.
  
• All images a reasonable person would deem unsafe/uncomfortable for one to view at work or in an open field with their mama looking over their shoulder must be placed behind an lj-cut (this does not include usericons).
  
• Allow comments on all posts. Posts with comments disabled will be deleted.
  
• Please debate, argue and discuss. personal attacks won't be tolerated.

Please Note:

The com allows commenting and posting by members only ... i.e., you must join in order to contribute to the discussion (anyone can join; we're open membership).

Joining a com is different from watching or friending it. If you try to comment and get a message that you don't have permission because you're not a "friend," then you might not have joined yet. To join us, click here. If you're told you've already joined, try leaving the com and re-joining.

Either way, welcome. :)
