Can't make it to the preseason game tonight. Uncle Chris has been called into action. Can't disappoint the niece on her birthday! But rest assured, @rosecitycentral.bsky.social will be there when the regular season starts. #RipCity

From one Rose City to another, hello there! Portland has been called the "City of Roses" since the late 1800s. The annual Rose Festival started in the early 1900s, & the International Rose Test Garden is the oldest operating test garden in the USA! Also, those Tyler Roses look wonderful. 🌹

Of course, with any project, you think about how to make money. This will be no different. In the long run, we may find ways to make money, but I can promise you all right now that no piece of content on rosecitycentral.com will ever be locked behind a paywall.

For years, a mysterious pop-punk song has played underneath birthday messages at Blazers games, and there's been no trace of the song's existence anywhere else in the world. I have finally cracked one of the enduring mysteries of the past decade. buff.ly/AAsbc7a

I'm told Sharpe's torn meniscus is in his right knee, and the injury happened during a personal workout.

Per Shams, Shaedon Sharpe has sustained a torn meniscus and is expected to miss six months. More info to come.

Question is, is Rose related in any way to the dragons of Portland’s past? Long live the Forest Dragons! Real (old) ones remember!

Trail Blazers announce they will have a special jersey band this season to honor the late, great Rick Adelman. December 15 at home vs the Nuggets, the organization will recognize and celebrate the life of the legendary Trail Blazers coach.

Your ability to comment the same thing twice, when my dumb had to delete and repost, is true dedication to the game. You, sir, are a true MVP. Respect. I love it!

Not adding fuel to the Trail Blazers relocation fire but… People keep mentioning Kansas City and St.Louis. Two cities in Missouri… Missouri, famous home of the start of the OREGON TRAIL. DIABOLICAL!! CONSPIRACY!!!
