should I come back one day

I lived in beaverton for the first 7 years of my life and always loved oregon. Last year, I went back for the first time in over a decade on vacation, and I really loved the state of oregon. However, I'm in Texas now, and I couldn't help but notice it was all so much more congested than I remember. Obviously, this is natural since I was much younger, but even my father had the same feeling. We've heard from sources over the years that the crime has gone up in Portland at least, but Beaverton seemed fine just a little more cramped than I remember. Are things looking up for beaverton? Should I consider it when I'm ready to settle down? Is it getting very expensive and hard to live by compared to other cities? Another option to consider is moving back to oregon but in a less congested suburb. excited to hear local opinion!

Accidentally ran a red on Cedar Hills Blvd. will I get a photo ticket?

Hey everyone, hoping to get some local insight.

I was at a complete stop going straight on Cedar Hills Blvd. When the left-turn arrow turned green, my brain misfired and I accidentally drove straight through my red light. I wasn't speeding, just starting from a dead stop.

I have a completely clean driving record and I'm stressing a bit. However, I noticed two things:

  1. I didn't see the camera flash.
  2. It looks like the "Photo Enforcement" signs were recently removed from those signals.

I'm attaching the dashcam video of what happened. Are those cameras even active anymore? Since there was no flash, am I likely in the clear? What do you guys think?

Thanks!

Update: To the people being sarcastic or asking if this is 'normal' for me - no, of course it’s not. I have been driving for over 19 years and this is the very first time I’ve had a slip-up like this.

I didn’t blow through the intersection trying to beat a yellow light like a lot of people do. I was at a complete, dead stop. When the car in the left turn lane started moving, my peripheral vision tricked my brain into thinking my light was green. It was a complete misfire.

I know driving is a huge responsibility. It’s a lot like carrying a boiling hot cup of coffee, you know the stakes, you know it's dangerous, and you are actively being careful. But sometimes, you still trip. The fact that an accident happened doesn't mean I don't care about safety; it means I made a genuine, split-second human error.

I already feel terrible about it, which is exactly why I was stressed enough to post here. Thanks to the people who actually offered helpful advice about the Beaverton traffic school options.

New Indian place

Has anyone else heard about this new place called Tandoori Nights? A friend told me it’s supposed to be open and that the menu is going to be something completely different from the usual Indian restaurants around here. I’m really curious now. Does anyone know when they’re opening or have any insider info?

How’s everyone celebrating the 4th?

I just moved to Beaverton (from out of state) a couple months ago and it’ll be my first time celebrating the 4th of July here.

I’m my hometown I’d usually head to the beach, have a few drinks, play some beach volleyball, and watch the city fireworks show.

How does everyone celebrate up here? And suggestions of places to go?
Also, where’s the best place to catch the fireworks.

Thanks in advance for the tips!

My nephew is coming to PDX in July and he’s obsessed with Nike. I’d love to surprise him with a visit to the Nike Company Store while he’s here.

Does anyone have access to a legitimate guest pass for July, or know someone who might be able to help with one?

Thanks so much for any help or advice.

This dude is gonna get himself shot oneday, and I'm not looking forward to it.

Every so often since the orange goblin got elected, every once in a while there is a dude who walks around my neighborhood all by himself and yells at the top of his lungs something along the lines of "REPUBLICANS NOT WELCOME HERE! MOVE OUT OF MY COMMUNITY!", like the dude sounds really menacing, someone might actually confront him, I get why he's angry....but this shit is stupid. I'm near the big park by the library for reference.

And like I have at least 2 neighbors that I know of who are republican, one of them is a family with small children and the dad of the family if frequently drunk. My anxiety goes sky high every time that guy comes around because I worry that he is going to get hurt one of these days, I worry that one of my neighbors are going to get pissed off enough to shoot this guy one of these days and what if a fucking bullet misses and comes into my home? Or someone else's home?

Anyone know who this guy even is? Has anyone else had them doing the same in their neighborhood? WTF do I even do? Nothing?

Streaming World Cup matches

Where are people watching the World Cup games online?

I keep hearing about being able to stream matches on Telemundo for free, but they do not seem to actually be available on YouTube, and their app requires a paid subscription. Can't find another YT channel that offers the actual games, though there are loads of simulator things (not sure how those works).

If you have suggestions on ways to watch using a VPN those are also welcome :)
