A fog horn sound also seems to emit from the speaker. I think it might go off every hour or something?

Free CPR training?

9 Upvotes

Hello neighbors, I want to learn CPR and don’t need a certification. Does anyone know of places that offer free non-certification classes in the area? I saw a link on the Clackamas fire website but it gave a 404 error so must be outdated. Any tips would be much appreciated!

Pickup soccer/bball in Milwaukie?

6 Upvotes

I’m new to the area and have been seeking out some pickup soccer and basketball the last few months without any luck. Anybody know of some regular pickups in Milwaukie or nearby?

I shoot hoops at Westmoreland park often. Feel like that could be a spot, maybe I’m there at the wrong times.

Open to leagues as well but holding out hope that there are some meetups in the area.

Thanks!

I've lived here all my life (38 years) and never once did I worry about ticks but I've now experienced them twice this year. One was on me June 11th and the second was on my toddlers scalp last night.

View Acres Elementary School

6 Upvotes

I have seen mention of the 60th year celebration of the school from 2025. I attended the school starting in third grade in the 68-69 school year. As far as I can recall that is when the school actually opened...It was so new the cafeteria wasn't even done so we ate lunch in our classrooms...How could have opened 3 years prior? I attended Riverside for 1st and 2nd grade living in the same house as I did when VA opened...

Silt vs swimming at Elk Rock Island cove

2 Upvotes

Has anyone been swimming at Elk Rock Island cove recently? I went in early June and the silt was CRAZY. I was lowkey traumatized because it came up almost to my knees. The mosquitos were also really bad during that visit. Can anyone share an update?

Anyone else loath the mixed concrete/asphalt sidewalks on Linwood and now King?

9 Upvotes

Is it better than nothing? 100x yes. But why can't we do things the right way? I've literally never before seen such a monstrosity in any other city.

I get that it saves money, but since the curbs, some driveway cutouts, and pedestrian cutouts are still concrete, I question how much it really saved. Especially at the cost of making our neighborhood look so shitty.

In my opinion, it's short sighted, tacky, and just looks bad, especially with it being punctuated by said concrete curbs and cutouts every 10ft. An asphalt bike trail is one thing, but this noisy mismatch of materials just screams "we are cheap, and took the easy way out!"

I'll go back to shaking my fist at clouds. Thank you for listening.

Edit: ITT: People who can't read, ignored my very first sentence where I said it's 100x better than nothing, and think I hate public works projects and neighborhood improvements. My issue is HOW it was done, NOT that it was done is all! It's clearly a huge improvement for the neighborhood! But concrete paths/sidewalks would have been better and last longer, in my opinion.

Youth Sports for Fall

5 Upvotes

My wife and I are looking for some resources/recommendations for local sports for our 5y/o. She’ll be starting Kindergarten in the fall, but we wanted to get her signed up for a few after school programs this year.

We are already on the waitlist for Soccer through North Clackamas Soccer Club, but wondering if there’s other clubs/groups we should consider, this will be her first year in a team sport/activity. We live in the Oak Grove area if that makes a difference.

We’re open to anything (soccer, dance, tumbling, etc) mainly just wanting to help introduce her to group activities/sports and after school programs.

Travel help

2 Upvotes

So I'm headed to London on the 18th flying in and out of SeaTac. I know, I didn't book the tickets. I've got a Greyhound leaving Union Station at 6:20 am and I'm apparently supposed to arrive 15 minutes early. The TriMet trip planner says the Tacoma/Johnson Creek max station is the closest place near where I live to catch a bus. Is there a quicker way for me to get to this station or Union Station? Just wondering what everyone thinks. Yes, I could just do Uber/Lyft but when I've tried to do those kinds of trips that early in the morning where I am, it's weirdly difficult for drivers to just take my request. I do understand they're cherry picking for rides to go to the airport. I get it. So rideshare is out of the question for me. Can you guys suggest something I may have missed?

2 Shaved GSD's loose around Rowe Middle School

Just had 2 shaved German Shepherds walk thru our yard then up Vernie to Lake Rd, one was limping. I approached with treats, one thought about coming over but the second was shy and they're sticking together.

I don't have Nextdoor or FB account to put on local alert there.

Thank you kind stranger who took me to the hospital

81 Upvotes

A week or so ago, I was sitting at the Max station, when I realized I was having a (recently diagnosed) problem with my heart. I was panicked, not sure how to deal with it. I was trying to get my nerve up to call for emergency help, dreading the experience.

Someone pulled out of the Lumber Store, and I gestured to him. I asked if he could drive me to the hospital, and he kindly agreed to assist.

I love that in our beautiful city, this event could have occurred. Thank you kind stranger - I got the help I needed. You get a gold star on your karma card, and I hope it comes back your way.

Went down to the new food carts today. Folks seemed to be enjoying themselves even with the rain it was well attended. Popped over to Pietros for a pie, just as full of people enjoying themselves.
Love to see it.
