Here's the OP of this pic. I think it was taken in Virginia.

[–]Thumper13 -1 points0 points ago

Ahhhh man. I'm sadder then I should be now.

[–]andsuddenlywhooSellwood-Moreland 17 points18 points ago

Wait, where did you get that sunshine?

[–]hatperigeeHillsboro 14 points15 points ago

Exactly. This picture is bullshit.

[–]noNoPartsWoodstock 3 points4 points ago

Back when this image was originally posted it was the very first reddit link i ever clicked.

[–]punkrocksnoopy23 7 points8 points ago

Shit I want to drop everything, move to portland, and join your band. You are a band, right?

[–]ScolderingSE -1 points0 points ago

Now here's what I'm trying to figure out. If there was E. Coli in the water, and it had been there for up to two days before the announcement was made to boil all water, and even if you are using the pipes to get water to boil it, didn't you just potentially get a bunch of E. Coli in your pipes? Even if the reservoir source is now clean, how do you go about flushing your lines? Or is that not really a concern?

[–]ixregardoSW 5 points6 points ago

Seems that running the tap for 2 minutes is enough to flush it. I mean, I dunno if that actually works but they said it did which means it either works or was never a concern in the first place.

[–]PortlandoCalrissianSE 0 points1 point ago

Bit chilly for that, isn't it?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

At least that kid has safety glasses. No E. Coli in the eyes for him.

Boil water on Westside has been lifted. http://www.portlandoregon.gov/water/article/405495

Is this Revenge Of The Nerds 2012?

[–]Fourth_JhanaDowntown 0 points1 point ago

Okay, that's pretty damn funny.

[–]tgrant88 0 points1 point ago

Is it weird that I want to make this my desktop picture?

[–]DunbeezyNW District 0 points1 point ago

I live on twentysomething and Flanders and can confirm that this is the West side all the time.

[–]stigys -2 points-1 points ago

Ghost white skin.....black frame glasses - verified Portland

nope and that was two.

[–]GeorgeTaylorG -1 points0 points ago

I don't understand what is happening, but I upvoted.

[–]waterandshade 5 points6 points ago

it was reported that the water reservoir is free of e coli

[–]meat_bag -1 points0 points ago

I lived in Portland years ago and thought I'd check out r/Portland just to see what's up. I see what's up and I approve.

[–]meat_bag -2 points-1 points ago

oh man, repost? grumble grumble.

[–]sassi-squatchHazelwood -2 points-1 points ago

Love the pic! (Even if it's not from today, or from here, or not you...)

:)

[–]JEDDIJSE -4 points-3 points ago

[–]mayimayi -2 points-1 points ago

[–]fulcrumpdxJohn's Landing -5 points-4 points ago

Funny thing is they're all probably East-siders coming to SW to do something weird for weirds' sake.
