alternate response: I am genuinely amazed that the shining city of Portland would tolerate scumfuck franchise stores. Do they even slaughter their own livestock for sandwich meats?!?!

I knew the building was real but I thought it was a boring regular bookstore, probably because it wasn't rebelling against Portlandia before now

I was curious what the actual mayor of Portland thought about Kyle Maclachlan's mayor character (aka the best thing on the show) and apparently he actually plays a recurring part as Maclachlan's assistant :eyepop:

Yes, it's real, and it's really a feminist bookstore. Most of the places they film are real locations. I've heard mostly good things from people who have had their spaces used, but then those people usually aren't concerned about RAPE CULTURE.

A Portland rampage would be the most boring level ever. There would be 4-5 2 level buildings, 1 high rise, a river in the middle and about 100 hipsters waiting in line to enter one of the buildings for twee ice cream/bacon donuts/fresh hopped ipa. The hipsters would stand perfectly still while the monster could devour them at their leisure.

How can we crack jokes when the feminist bookstore is so angry? How can we laugh in the face of such rage? When the feminist bookstore finally sees vengeance done there will be no more laughter, of that I am certain.

Where in this thread has an individual been named except for the mayor of Portland and Kyle McLaughlan? Where has a death threat or any sort of contact with the bookstore been mentioned?

I actually visited Portland mostly because of Portlandia, we were in Seattle for a week and took the train down to see Portland for a couple days

Sour beers are good, donuts are good, lines are bad, restaurants are good, wine is good, that video arcade with cheap craft beer on tap fuckin' ruled, Pittock Mansion was cool, and Powell's City Of Books was fantastic, but we made the mistake of going on a vacation to a non-tropical location in February so the weather was bad and that kinda ruined it a little

Like, the weather was way better than it was at home (in Boston) but you still don't wanna go on vacation and have it be 45 degrees and drizzly the whole time

He probably should not have hosed a 17-year old, and if he was going to do it anyway he should not have hosed one named "Beau Breedlove." Being that on-the-nose is just tacky.

You arrive home from a day of merry objectifying and microagressing to find that your house is gone. In its place is the feminist bookstore from Portlandia. The building is silent and inanimate as usual, but in the pit of your stomach you can feel a palpable sense of dread and rage emanating from its very foundation. Through the fogged windows you can perceive no details other than a dim red glow. As you approach warily, a faint rumbling can be heard from deep below the earth. Your instincts are shouting at you to flee, to run away and never stop, but you are inexplicably compelled to walk up what was once your front path, as the rumbling increases in volume and pitch. You reach for the doorknob, your hand shaking as violently as the incensed earth. Your key does not fit, but the door opens anyway. It seems almost as though gravity has rotated 90 degrees, and you fall through the doorway, there is no other word for it. Behind you, the door creaks slightly as it swings smoothly shut.

A regular-seeming bookstore but every book contains the soul of a fallen feminist and they all scream "SMASH THE PATRIARCHY" when you open one of the books

Also there's a small VHS section in the back but despite the slipcase every tape is a copy of Zardoz
