+1 for Radio Cab if you're playing along with the rest of the city's game of pros and cons in the wake of Uber's invasion. The argument has been made that one should continue to use local taxi companies like Radio's services in order to keep money in the local economy, and then there's the matter of the Radio Cab Foundation, which is "supported, in part, by the drivers and staff of the Radio Cab Company in Portland, Oregon," and does such things as provide Portland families in need, including the elderly and infirm, with Christmas turkey dinners.

They've also release a 2015 calendar to help fund the project. The 20 bucks you spend on it will equal out to one such meal—900 of which were delivered (by cab, natch) last year. You can buy one here.
