Friday already? rainy and cool today with a high of 62. Same for Sat, maybe some sunshine on Sunday. Portland, you’ve got some ‘splaining to do! Apparently we top the list for spending on OnlyFans. I’m innocent- you can check my bank statements! Last night you probably got an Amber Alert. The child was found safe. 82nd St is getting some extra funding to keep it clean. It’s looking so much better already with all the added safety improvements, trees, and repaving. Looking for something to do Saturday? OMSI will be dissecting a 9 foot shark and you can watch while enjoying a beer. Yes, really. If that’s not your vibe, there’s something for everyone in our events today.
🚨 THE NEWS
Portland tops the list, and the study has fans talking
A new study ranks Portland No. 1 among 309 cities for estimated OnlyFans spending per 10,000 adults. The OnlyFinder analysis puts Portland's total at about $23.55 million, or $459,994 per 10,000 adults. Los Angeles ranked second at $454,201. The city-level split is estimated from search data. Among Oregon counties, Multnomah had the highest estimate at $297,796 per 10,000 adults. KPTV
EDIT: shortly after writing this, KPTV deleted the article. I’m not sure why. I considered replacing this story with something different, but maybe KPTV posting and then deleting is a story itself.

Missing Beaverton 3-year-old found safe
A 3-year-old Beaverton boy missing since an Amber Alert was issued Wednesday has been found safe, police say. Beaverton police said Joshua Ovalles was last seen with his non-custodial mother, Mari Martinez. Investigators say she took him after a Washington County judge granted his father temporary custody, citing immediate danger in her unsupervised care. Joshua was found Thursday afternoon. Martinez was found later that afternoon and is expected to face charges of kidnapping and interfering with a custody case. KPTV
82nd Avenue gets a clean sweep
Multnomah County commissioners voted Thursday to put $150,000 toward enhanced cleaning services on 82nd Avenue. The extra cleanup will run between Northeast Killingsworth Street and Southeast Harney Street. The county is partnering with the City of Portland on the effort. County leaders also pointed to Trash for Peace, which offers hands-on job training for people seeking long-term employment. KOIN
