Weird is good
I got a "Travel Portland" magazine in the mail last week. It's the official visitor magazine for Portland, or so it says. Apparently I signed up to receive it on the chamber of commerce website or something. I started reading some of the articles in it, and I love this paragraph from an article about the food scene:The scene is so Portland. If you drive the Rose City's streets, you'll inevitably see a bumper sticker that proudly proclaims "Keep Portland Weird." The slogan is more than an offbeat declaration on the back of a blue-state bumper; it's indicative of the casual, independent lifestyle that makes Portland so attractive to out-of-towners.
That's awesome. This is going to be a fun trip.
