I wonder how secure that basement is. Someone going down there with a chainsaw could do a lot of damage.


I’ve in a few basements with a boatload of fiber, and while guarded those watchmen are not paid enough to take on a mad man with a chainsaw.

I just think the crazy folk of America, aren’t angry enough at the internet to try to take it on so physically. (Nor informed enough, nor coherent enough in their planning….)


I believe this is in the Pittock Block building at SW 9th and Washington. While it's certainly not open to all comers, its no Fort Knox. Attractions upstairs include a police substation, two cafes, and a Swedish bric-a-brac-ery.


You're correct—this is the basement of the Pittock. Upstairs are many, many closets for rent to shove servers in.
