So imagine me in a beautiful old building built for casting, welding, and other heavy industrial processes telling the landlord that we’re looking for space for our design group which builds and designs prototypes out of plastic, concrete and wood. He says to me ”Oh . . . we mostly have start ups in the building.”
Ba-squeeze me? Apparently American start ups only make lines of code. And if you want to prototype your own designs you’d better move out of town. How is Portland’s economy going to be based on code alone? I can’t sit on, eat, or drink code. In fact you can’t even run code with just lines of code. What kind of economy our we looking for?
Sucks! FTM…Pam and I have taken to just not asking and not telling with our projects or plans. I guess it’s a bit different with commercial spaces…bleh.
I just finished reading your blog. You guys rock! Keep posting awesome shit!

Did not know this! Explains why we keep getting same old same old in Old Town Chinatown. How utterly sad for Portland’s original home of hard work and industry. How about helping us take the issue to the landlords and the Old Town Chinatown Land Use committee? We are hell bent on finding you space where you can win the 500,000 Euro Index Prize, maybe for DesignersTalkSH** http://bit.ly/ctM4ZQ
