Oh god. I remember my first "Encounter of the Tweak Kind". Me and my dad going out to grab some food at a store no more than a block or two down, so why not walk, right? Big. Biiiig mistake. We got over to Monroe Park and all of a sudden this tweak just flips. "HEY! HEY YOU! YOU! FUCK YOU! YEAH. YOU! FUCK YOU! PIECE OF SHIT! FUCK YOU!" I don't know what drugs she was on, but she was just unloading on people walking by.
Funny to laugh at afterwards. Interesting city. 10/10, would not recommend.
Oh yeah. They are crazy!! They hassle young women at night too. I parked at a bar to go to a concert a few years ago. When the concert let out, we were walking to my car. There was a white van parked in front of my car and a man started heckling me “do you wanna make some money? Come with me” like on repeat and trying to get me in this van. My husband wasn’t trying to cause any trouble and neither was I, so husband assists me into the car and the heckler is now trying to open my door and talk through the window “c’mon hunny come with me youll make lots of money!” And my husband gets in the car and says to “drive.” I was scared I was going to hit the guy, but looking back I should have! He wouldn’t move until I started moving the car a little. Yikes man that city is gross
Oooohhh yeah. I had to stop running in the park because of the homeless around here. I'm a dude, but the amount of times I ran in to a pack of homeless hiding out and out of sight somewhere where it was just a bit too conspicuous and creepy was too much. I ran at dusk to avoid people, and almost ended up getting mugged a few times. Hell, what ended up finally doing it was I was running passed a kids park. This dude in all black on a nice BMX bike (which I can only assume was stolen) rides up next to me and just coasts. Doesn't say a damn word for a good minute until he just tells me, "I'm Chris." He just kept repeating that over and over again until he took off on his bike. Stopped to eye me up one last time under a bridge but I just kept running at him, ignoring him. No more than 20 ft. between us, he (thankfully) got on his bike and rode off. Never ran in that park again. Which sucks because it's our biggest one. Ah well, rather not get diddled by a homeless perv.
My local park was notorious for developing a homeless camp in the center of it, where this awful homeless man would threaten people with a machete for touching his trash!! People would try to clean up the park and he would threaten to kill them, holding a machete! Like what??? Cops did nothing. This park is in a suburb like 20 miles outside of Portland! You bet your ass I moved the fuck out of there.

Oh my gosh your story is all too common!
My local park was notorious for developing a homeless camp in the center of it, where this awful homeless man would threaten people with a machete for touching his trash!!
