Was just in Downtown Portland for lunch, and it was AMAZING how many businesses had closed up. We went into Pioneer Place mall, and the Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and some other high end places that I don’t know anything about had velvet ropes around the entrance/exit, and security. It was like you had to be approved to enter, and maybe checked to leave.

I didn’t go into any as that’s not my scene, so we got our milk tea, and departed the area. LOTS of homeless down there, lots of tents on the sidewalks, etc.

Well Rachael Maddow would call that progress.
