Driving in Portland is well, let me put it this way ...

I've lived outside of Boston and New York City (in Jersey) and I've had easier times in those cities getting around than I do around Portland. People go nutty and for good reason; Its a friggin mess every which way you go! They say the population of Portland and its surrounding areas is like what, 70,000? Feels like 700,000 most of the times on the roads out there. Right? You're all feeling me I know you are.

Roads going all willy nilly, old roads in need of replacement, people driving like idiots cause alot of the roads don't allow for smart driving really. You need to fight for yourself out there. You gotta drive to survive! City of Portland, I propose to you this idea of kind thought and jesture...

Wok Inn Road

Many people recognize this scene, its the Wok Inn (recently closed down) on your way up Forest Ave and/or towards Allen Ave out to the North Deering Area. Anyone whos been in this area for even a tenth of a second knows how much of an absolute a-hole, cluster screw this area can be when a few cars back it up. Shuts down the whole intersection, the V and inverted V roadways. NOT ANY MORE GOOD PEOPLE OF PORTLAND!

City of Portland I present to you a bright idea, which aren't always financailly or legally firm, but its the thought that counts. City of Portland, and I'm talking to the mucky mucks here, if you truly care about road rage, the health, well being and reduced stress of your motorists you will do this...

  • BUY THE WOK INN
  • MOVE THAT RIGHT OFF SHOOT ENTRANCE TO ALLEN AVE THROUGH THE WOK INN'S PARKING LOT, WHICH PULLS MADNESS AWAY FROM THE INTERSECTION AT THE LIGHTS
  • THEN, SELL OFF THE WOK INN TO SOMEONE ELSE 

Right? Cause lets face it, whoever buys it, has it, and you can't do nothing with it then. So, buy it, fix the traffic problem now while you can, then sell that puppy to someone. We all win! That parking lot could take so much stress off that road and intersection at the lights. We lose on shrimp fried rice, yes, but we gain in driving improvement!

The Wok Inn may be gone City of Portland, but I do have a fortune for you...
