Another casualty of lawless Portland

The Cully Farmers Market on Northeast 42nd Avenue has been forced to shut down for the rest of the year because of an "unsafe environment" caused by "the actions of a few people."

I can only imagine what that's code for. But it certainly sounds like an epitaph for the entire city.

Remember when you could call the cops in a situation like this, and keep the nice things in life going? Not in Wheelerville, not any more. However, the farmers market will be replaced by a dozen magic orange traffic barrels on the empty lot.
