Evening aggregator: Home invasion, bike rider killed by TWO drunk drivers, pot cafe planned, adult events opposed?
Posted by: Sentinel News Service on Nov 04, 2009A number of reports came in from mainstream and alternative media today regarding violent crime in North Portland. Morning reports of a home invasion and shots fired on North Bristol have turned into confirmations of a man shot in his home. This afternoon, the Oregonian reported that the two drivers accused of hitting and killing a cyclist early this morning on North Willamette Boulevard are BOTH being accused of DUIs. The cyclist, Kipp Daniel Crawford of Portland, is the fourth cyclist to die in an accident this year. Early reports from KATU indicated that the cyclist may have been pushed into the street intentionally. Eyewitnesses claimed they had overheard an argument.
In other news, the Oregonian reports that the city will soon be getting its first cannabis cafe in the Woodlawn neighborhood. A meeting tonight of the Woodlawn Neighborhood Association will discuss the cafe and the presence of an "adult" entertainment event space upstairs. The space above Rumpspankers Cafe on Northeast Dekum Street has been the talk of the neighborhood for a while now. Below is a comment on Yelp detailing the erotic activity upstairs. The combination of cannabis cafes and kinky clubs ought to make for a heated meeting.
The soon-to-be-infamous Yelp posting is below the cut.
