Correction
I was complaining this week that the Portland City Council is frequently insensitive to the needs of small businesses. But an alert reader directs me to this detail from a mailbox flyer from Broadway Toyota, which reveals that City Hall policies are actually stimulating some sectors of the local economy.

We could also conclude that graffiti stimulates the local ecomony because the victims have to buy the stuff to either paint over or clean up the taggs.
I bet that more money is spent on clean up materials than buying spray paint.

Overheard at Les Schwab today:
"We recommend a front-end alignment every six months; every three months, if you live in Portland."
We're not making this up.
