Cartlandia


The Councilmen that said Cartlandia was in a crime ridden area made it sound like a drug haven. There are a lot of good families in SE Portland. My kids grew up here right down the street from Cartlandia. Both of my boys are US Soldiers. Both graduates of Marshall. My youngest placed 10th in state for golf representing Marshall last year, he graduated in the last Marshall class. I was disappointed in how he referred to the area. I have never seen any homeless tweekers at Cartlandia. But go down to the sting or Tired feet they are catering to the meth heads. There are a lot of good people who can handle having a few drinks. We need a place to go in SE that is not a strip club or caters to the tweekers. The city has ignored the meth problem that has plagued our area. The bridge beavers are allowed to freely offer their beaver pelt up for sale on the Harney bridge. But tax paying citizens can't have drinks outside. When the bums can drink Thunderbird under the bridge right by my house. What is the fine Councilman prepared to do about that?
