Portland Interstate Apathy

Posted by Scott Moore on Fri, Oct 5 at 12:55 PM

It’s difficult to deny that the current raging debate over whether to rename Interstate has been divisive. As evidenced by the thousands of comments on the hundreds of posts we’ve published, people on both sides of the issue care passionately and have made deep emotional commitments.

But so far, the argument has alienated a large percentage of the city’s residents who don’t have a forum to express themselves—people who deeply, passionately, do not care about whether Interstate should be renamed.

So here’s an open forum for all of us who don’t give a crap. Feel free to chime with just how much you don’t care, and then we can argue about who cares the least.

I don't think anyone could care less than me!

I say you're wrong, Josh. In fact, I'd argue that I.. awww, fuck it.

I just hope that, in the end, everyone gets their way.

I'm not even going to bother posting, that's how little I ca.... Oh. Damn. Well, still. I don't give a fuck, is my point.

I don't even care enough to finish typing this po

I live 3 blocks off Interstate and one block from the recently renamed Rosa Parks Way and I really couldn't care less. Who gives a fuck?

Damn, that's a cute kid. What are we talking about?

I just want to see an opponent say "Don't Cesar me bro." Then I'd be happy.

While y'all are busy not caring, can one of you please get rid of the ad of those handbar moustached douchebags who want to charge $1/wing?

Handlebar, obviously. My fingers were too busy raging to type coherent sentences.

Charlie still gets the line of the day.

$1 a wing from a fucking cart! I'd only pay that if it were located on Cesar Chavez Blvd!

Wait -- $1 a wing?

Where's the public outrage over THAT? You think Potter will make a statement?

$7 for 9 measly wings.

Proceeds goes to a fund to provide trucker hats, ironic facial hair and underbite surgery to the unfortunates in society.

I don't care that you don't care...because you would care if you associated with it.

shouldn't we be all worked up and focused on something more important?!!

I care.

rosa parks + ceasar chavez = intersection

what was that? oh...i was too busy caring what country britney is going to rehab in next.

Don't get off track, here! This post is supposed to be about apathy. Or something. Fucking WHATEVER.

I

9 wings at Fire on the Mtn. will run you $7.50

And I've eaten at Biggs Bros. several times now and they always throw a few extra in there and I can't say that about the other guys.

You have no idea how much sleep I haven't lost over this issue. As an impartial outsider and Portland newcomer, I have two suggestions. One: immediately renaming the street Csar "Interstate" Chvez without consulting either side. Two: only rename every other street corner Csar Chvez. This would cost half as much and both sides would still win!

Hey! Am I the only one who loves reading Amy's 28-paragraph posts about this red-hot issue?


Hey! I'm part Irish! When are they going to name a street after St. Patrick--or better yet--Lucky the Leprechaun? Lucky Lane! When? Wait, I'm drunk now and don't care any more. Who wants to fight?
