The one closer to me had them out, but limited. The other one with the locked case has gone downhill a bunch. It's actually near where I went to High School (which is now closed down). And....it is Portland Oregon after all. It's a little sketch in a lot of pockets these days. Security basically just lets people walk out with stolen goods as the laws favor the criminals and/or nothing will be done if they are arrested. The local PD is understaffed and doesn't respond to much at all these days, usually not until something serious has happened. I moved out to the burbs last year after living in Portland my whole life, it was getting to be a lot with a young Daughter.
Damn, this sucks to read. Been almost a decade since I've made it down that way and I had nothing but positive experiences for the few years I was coming in pretty regularly back then. Even ran into a bunch of train-hoppin' Canadian crusty punks I knew busking with some local cats one of the last times I was there - but, I mean, as dirty and sometimes annoying as the crust punk kids can be, they're generally pretty harmless!
