SCV Porto's Watch 2014: They Hear Us Loud and Clear

By Mike Devlin

Well what do you know? A super-official maybe. That was fast. 
Porto's didn't register in the city's infamous survey that claimed that a third of us want an Applebee's, which must be a good sign. Because no one really wants Applebee's. And everyone wants Porto's. The Facebook shares are in the hundreds, the likes are in the thousands. There are rumors and rumors of rumors.
Porto's is something of a perfect weapon. If the pastries or the sandwiches don't get you, the potato balls will. It feels old and new at once, neither a passing fad nor a stodgy standby. But really, it's just delicious. And unforgettable.
But even still, I'm surprised by just how much the people of SCV want to see a Porto's, I'm and thrilled to see that they've taken notice. So keep pressing. Join the Porto's For SCV group. Visit Porto's (here, here, or here) and let them that they need to make SCV their next home. The (potato) ball is in our court. We can do this SCV!

    A Porto's in SCV would be fine, but what should really go where the ELEPHANT BAR was located is THE YARD HOUSE! And Bob's Big Boy should come back to SCV possibly where the old Hamburger Hamlet was on The Old Road (great fwy access & good price point for food near Magic Mountain)! Just my thoughts!

    Yard House would be great!

    What's the point of putting the link to join the group and help spread the news if you get denied to join.

    Denied? To my knowledge, no one has been denied admission to that group. That would be a tad counterproductive to The Movement™

    I requested to join the group to help spread the news on my fb page and I was denied to join :(

    For my wife: Trader Joes in Canyoon Country up on top of the hill with Staples, Target, etc.

    That parking lot is too big for a Trader Joe's. They only seem to build where parking is the most screwed up it can possibly be.
