Here’s what we’ve found as we’ve traveled the local PDX web (complete with our comments) for September 10th

• Portland Mercury | Blogtown, PDX | Damn Right, I’m Bitter - Matt Davis asks these questions in a much longer rant:

  Why would I want anything more to do with the city of Portland? Why should I believe a single positive word coming out of its boondoggling little mouth? I want so much to believe in a city that works. A city that cares. A city that wants to make life easier for people. But I'm experiencing a city that obstructs. That evades. That, it seems, couldn't give a hoot about responsibility. And it's making me angrier by the day, to the point where I feel paralyzed to even open my mouth for fear that the whole lot might just come tumbling out in some mad man's torrent of Falling Down-style idiocy.

• Food News! | An Exploration of Portland Food and Drink - There's an abundant wealth of food news on PFD, from staff moves, restaurant openings that've fallen flat, and/or some occasional snarkiness. Also - if you want to see more reviews, kick in some cash to cover Food Dude's reviewing tabs, will you?
• OSCON? Gone » Silicon Florist - O'Reilly's pulling OSCON down to San Jose and the RailsConf to Vegas. Was it something we said…?
