Things I Will Not Miss (Portland Edition) #1: Blitz Bar

More specifically, Blitz Bar and their goddamn party bus that parks below our dining room window. I don't have anything against Blitz Bar, except for the fact that they opened a new location right next to our apartment -- only a few paces from our bedrooms. It changed the block, and not in a good way. We decided in December that we needed to get the heck out of here before its warm enough to open the windows (and before the drunken hoards take over the sidewalk for the summer season). God, I sound like a cranky old man (as I shake my fist out the window). 


The fact of the matter is that we've outgrown our space here on Flanders Street and we've also outgrown our neighborhood. So, we're trading in Blitz Bar and Pizza Schmitza's horrendous karaoke Thursdays for a Whole Foods and public library branch. And while we're definitely trading up, there are some things that we're going to lose. There are a lot of things about NW that I will miss a lot.

I know what life a long island party bus brings to our place. I know what you are feeling right now and I totally agree with you, it's not something you would miss. They should have not placed a party bus near homes because that is just annoying especially if you are studying. I hope you find a nice new place to stay.

That is sad. Isn't that illegal because they can disturb sleeping people? Whether they have bought wine online to get the best, I don't think it's right to party like that everyday.
