One Night in Portland
In the day, the area surrounding 2nd avenue is filled with forklifts and union workers loading and unloading freight into the rundown, yet OSHA-compliant warehouses.
But this is Sunday. And it’s 6 o’clock. The back-up beeps of trucks have long ceased and the air is filled with enthusiasm and exhausts.
This is Portland’s weekly Red Door Meet. And the streets are crammed with people checking out the artwork parked in front of warehouse docks, dumpsters, under bridges, and across many blocks.
It draws a huge crowd, and so it should. It’s not every day where a Toyota Soarer, R32 Skyline, a Gallardo, and a Baja Ranger shares the same meet.
The car is a huge draw but the lively atmosphere and the social aspect has taken up its own life.
And that’s what Red Door has become. It’s more than just cars. It’s a social gathering. People come here to check out other people’s passion and artwork and to chat and chill. There’s even a food truck. What’s more, there’s even a dyno.
There is a scene in the movie “Fast and Furious One” before Paul Walker drives his Eclipse so fast that his floor board fell, drivers all gather on a deserted street. People were chilling and checking out each other’s cars. This is the atmosphere of RDM.
The crew of PanthyHeist is all too familiar with the weekly event. But even when we frequent it so much, we’re still amazed by everything that is happening. This has become more than just a weekly car meet. This is a social gathering. This is where you come to hang out with your friends to chat with really cool strangers. This is where even unsuspecting passersby take notice and gawk around. And mostly, this is Portland’s nightlife.
Until next time,
Cheers.

For many city-dwellers, including yours truly, there is one home decor dream that looms large in our collective minds: to have a living area spacious enough for a sectional sofa. And for that sectional sofa to be so inviting and so big that any nap you take upon it rivals the best night of sleep you ever had.
When your friends come over for a cocktail, there’s room for each and every one of them to sit comfortably. And when you settle in to binge your next prestige drama, you can stretch out in total bliss for hours on end. The best sectional sofas do it all, but not all are created equal.
Even if your space is limited, everyone can find a cozy spot together on a fabric corner sofa.
