I’ve never considered Portland a dangerous place.

Funny. That’s exactly the impression I got from Hello Larry.

I’ve never considered Portland a dangerous place. But in the film A Day Called X, it becomes the most dangerous place on Earth one day in the mid-1950s

Not the only time doomsday came to Portland.

Well that explains why we all ended up so weird.

Sweet, the old BOAC where PDX area emergency services dispatch was until around '93. It was a real nuke-war bunker and it made me sad somehow that HQ was moved to a simple building instead of a comic book adventure type place.
