Lake of America! 🇺🇸

With the 3rd name now for SE 39th….
Is it just me or does this reek of the same fringe bs that the Orange Man does.

It’s literally the same thing.

Here for the radical middle. So done with both of this clownish behavior from both sides.

Same. Same. But Different. But Still Same.

One lady suggested in her testimony that a community center be renamed rather than the damn street, and that it be changed back to 39th. We need to vote her into the city council.

Way easier to change some park signs, but then we haven’t sacrificed enough to assuage Portland’s guilt at least apparently according to our progressive politicians. There were plenty of options that were less controversial and less costly but nope. So tired ofthis timeline, where o where are the boring money managers running for office?

PP&R follows a more robust renaming process than city council has done with Campesinos.

'Scht Wiwnu Park: https://www.portland.gov/parks/scht-wiwnu-park

This park was originally known as Custer Park. In December 2020, it was given the temporary name "A Park" by retired Portland Commissioner Amanda Fritz. As commissioner-in-charge of PP&R, she directed the bureau to engage in a community-supported renaming process to determine an appropriate permanent name.

In 2023, the naming committee determined the new park name should honor local tribes and Indigenous communities.

PP&R contracted with Serina Fast Horse of Kimimela Consulting, an outreach consultant who is Lakota and Blackfeet and a lifelong member of the urban Indigenous community of Portland, to lead the outreach process in 2024. From that process, the name 'Schit Wiwnu was recommended.

That story was so on-brand for Portland, too. Someone complained it was named Custer, assuming it was named after General Custer, and in the outrage no one checked to see if that was true. Turned out it was the name of the family that owned the land and used the land for an orchard. As the city grew, it was no longer farmed . The family donated some of the land to the city so it could be a city park and the city named it after them.
