Went with my kid to watch 4th of July fireworks on the Hawthorne bridge, same as we've done for years, only to find the general public is blocked from the fireworks side by a fence.

We were packed like sardines; they had us plebes down to one lane of traffic and a sidewalk while the other side was wide open with maybe 100 people to all who had $8k for a table or $1k per person.

I get that blues fest manages funding for the fireworks show, but this was straight up douchebaggery. I've never in Portland been made to feel less than before now.

Do better Portland.
