"The dream of the 90's is alive in Portland!"

Portland, OR (not to be confused with Portland, ME) is Oregon's largest city and a major city of The Other Rainforest. Portland is known for being almost as rainy as Seattle but twice as bizarre. Portland's nicknames include the City of Roses, Stumptown, and PDX. The residents are often stereotyped as hipsters, Granola Girls, or New Age Retro Hippies.
