Random, Ramblings, of Rounds in the City (RSS)

This category is about the random trips I make on transit, to seek out new places in the city, find places I already know I dig, enjoy some great breakfast, lunch, or dinner, or generally just get out and about to enjoy the place I live or places I might visit.

Beaverton Police and Transit

Observations on the West Side

The First Ticket Machine Works

I got up today and headed out and about into the beautiful sunny weather of Portland. Boarded the streetcar at 21st and Lovejoy. I departed ways with the streetcar down on 11th and walked over to Stumptown Coffee at Ace Hotel. With coffee Read More

Not Particularly Transit Related, But Important

The Soviets and western betrayal of Poland was cowardly and horrid. Recently while traveling in Newark I jumped on the PATH and ended up jumping off the PATH just shy of downtown New York. I came up from the PATH system at Exchange Street where Read More

Land of Idiots and Beauty

I decided, since I haven't in weeks, take a ride south bound on the streetcar after work instead of just heading straight home. The main reason was that I had went to get on the north west bound streetcar and it was complete and utter chaos, a packed Read More

Portland Snow

I decided it was time for one of those "out and about via TriMet". I always like to travel out via the Blue Line or even Yellow or Red to just see the development changes occurring. With the recent happenings with the extra police, pansy gangs, and other Read More

Oddball Commute

Thursday morning Jo was leaving on a flight out of PDX. So we got up at 3:30am even though I knew this was a bit early it made her feel more comfortable. We headed out in the 350Z for one of those rare "public city street usages" toward the Read More
