What: "And you know who else loves geeks? The City of Portland. Portland is like a Judd Apatow film realized. Here, the nerds, geeks and freaks rule the land, and it's a big part of why this town is so awesome. Portland likes them so much that the Mayor's office has launched an initiative to promote and expand the tech community"

What: "For us, Portland is like our town's weird little sister. She shows up to family reunions with new piercings and tattoos, and a life-partner of unspecified gender named Nico. Compared to our stodgier siblings in Idaho, Montana, or even Northern California, Seattle is hip and cutting edge. But next to the counter-culture Bohemia of Portland? We've become mainstream. We're the alternative music section in Target."

What: "I live in Portland, Oregon, which was recently voted the "most miserable city" in America, mainly because of the weather, unemployment, divorce rate and number of suicides. Since I'm happily married & employed, and do not plan on killing myself anytime soon, that leaves the weather, which is mostly rain. Living in Portland is like being on the set of Blade Runner 24 hours a day. It never bothers me like it bothers my wife."

What: "Christian Lander, the cad responsible for Stuff White People Like noted that Portland is like Lord of the Flies right before Piggie gets bumped off; when they run out of sustainably raised salmon, there will be rioting in the lovingly repurposed streets of the Pearl District. Be warned, young Bay Area refugees. What looks good now might just end up becoming the exact same thing you left behind."

What: "Portland is often held up as such an outstanding model of urban planning -and one that is so difficult to replicate-that you might think it's somehow different from other cities. But let's face it: Portland is like any other U.S. city. There are freeways and subdivisions and confusing arterials and big malls and stupid little strip centers."

There's this thing that happens on the street I live on called Last Thursday, which is seriously this mini Burning Man every month: fire jugglers, a burlesque show, a weird tribal, industrial steam-punk movement. It's very strange-Portland is like Never Never Land and no one wants to grow up."
