Good morning, Portland. Check out these life-changing links.
"Portland's oldest buildings just got harder to demolish," reports news editor Dirk VanderHart in this week's issue's lead news story. "But has the city been breaking state law since 2002?":
Portland musician Joel Magidmade national headlines for "apologizing" for recently sexually assaulting a woman. But it may not be the only time it happened. Portland's Erica Ordway, in a lengthy Facebook post she gave us permission to share, details an incident that happened nearly six years ago, writing:
You may not even remember me, but I sure as fuck remember you. And seeing your face plastered all over facebook and the internet the past couple of days has given me immense emotional stress. Maybe its time for you to admit there are others, maybe even countless others, you have done this too. Maybe then after my public apology I can move on, or maybe we should both find God together! I hear he’s down to help us no matter what has happened in our lives.
A former landfill on NE 82nd Ave., across from Madison High School, will likely be the site of a new multi-million dollar retail development, the Oregonian reports.
A white supremacist and Donald Trump supporter repainted his "JEW LIES MATTER" sign on the back of his swastika-emblazoned truck with "TRUMP: DO THE WHITE THING,"the Oregonian reports. He wants "fair coverage" from the "jewsmedia." Get it? It's because "Jews" rhymes with "news." Fuck that guy.

Runner-up in Portland's mayoral election and current Multnomah County Commissioner Jules Bailey will be joining the Oregon Beverage Recycling Cooperative for a full-time job in January 2017. His job title will be "Chief Stewardship Officer."
NBC hosted a presidential forum with Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. And, surprise, Donald Trump is vague and evasive. Here's the New York Times on that: "Mr. Trump was withering in his attacks on her record while vague about his own, and defensive about his shifting stands on the Iraq war over the years. He repeatedly declared that he was ready to handle national security issues, without being challenged."Matt Lauer got panned for his performance last night.
And here is your daily reminder that men who tell women to smile are assholes:
@HillaryClinton was angry + defensive the entire time - no smile and uncomfortable - upset that she was caught wrongly sending our secrets.
