Keep Portland Weird



(pictures courtesy of: http://www.portlandground.com)

This is the place to live if you are a young person. The nightlife is almost constant with music and art everywhere. I can see why both of my daughters are so happy here. The "vibe" is one of inclusion and tolerance. It's okay to be who you are. One of the blogs I recently read talked about "personas" and how she had changed over time. Somehow the 60's "persona" stuck in Portland. A little hippy, a little weird.

Nice.

I want that double bike contraption! My older grandchildren all think it is a hoot that I ride a tricycle. They would really love this thing. I am so glad that in the midst of all the disturbing events of late that you are able to have some good times with your daughters! Have fun!

Portland is very cool and very colorful. Peace.

I lived in Portland in the last 70's. Except for the non stop rain, it's a wonderful city. My sister lives in Eugene, just down I-5 from Portland.

I am loving looking at the pics.

LATE 1970's, not last 70's.

I live in Austin, Texas. Our slogan is "Keep Austin Weird". Austin, also is very inclusive and accepting with a lot of the artsy side to it....glad to know there are other places in the U.S. that live by the same standards. :-)
