Now that I am living in Kenton the Fred Meyers here seems so peaceful and clean and nice, it is a bit disorienting. The Hawthorne Fred's was the place where some meth guy robbed the Girl Scout Troop who were selling cookies out front. It is there that you can smell the urine and beer from the bottle return yards away and often see someone in the process of urinating as you return your shopping cart. Plus lots of people bring their stinky little dogs in and put them in the shopping carts. One evening I saw a woman who was literally naked from the waist down in the bakery aisle. OK she had on see through fish net stockings but nothing else. It was also the place where they kept up the Anna Nicole Smith Slim Fast ads above the checkout counter, even though 4 feet away you could read the tabloids about her death and the tawdry fight over her very rich (and drug addicted?) baby.

There's some nifty nature art, and you can bike over to PRI and watch fast things go around a track. the little park out by the waste treatment plant is actually quite nice.

We're moving to North Portland in June (from the god-infested wastelands of Western Colorado) and thinking this sounds pretty diggable.
