    Default Safety in PDX

    So, I read the long safety post and am confused how I should get to the club and back home in PDX. I live in the city and my car is NOT inconspicuous. It isn't bright red or a Ferrari, but still...there were not many of them made.

    What do Portland dancers do (particularly when working at a downtown club)? Would it be better to cab it?

    While I have your attention...thank you so much for your contributing advice on this site. It is awesome and I'm incredibly thankful for it.

    Hm, I guess it depends on the club and how you feel working downtown. It *can* be sketchy down there at night...Does anyone walk you to your car when you get off?

    If you're really concerned, yeah, I'd say cab it. I know a couple girls that have dedicated cabbies; an arrangement with a particular cab driver who always comes to the door, loads up their stuff, and walks them to the cab. I think they have some kind of bulk/package rate going on? I haven't asked for a ton of details, but I've seen some cards in the dressing room advertising this kind of service. Maybe look into that.

    I get walked out to my car every night and try to vary the route I take on the way home. So far I haven't felt any concern -- but I don't work downtown, either.

    Thanks for your response! What you said makes a lot of sense (varying your routine). I'm not dancing yet. I plan to inquire/audition with clubs soon.

    Over the 7.5 years I've been dancing in Portland I've gone to/from work via car, cab, bus, bicycle, and even on foot. I've never once had a problem with being followed or anything weird happening.

    Good! I think that stickied post just kind of freaked me out momentarily...
