  • Portland, Oregon, Is a Paradise

    Welcome to Portland, Oregon: recently crowned karaoke capital of the USA by the 'New York Times.' The rent is cheap, everyone is in a band, and the unofficial slogan of the city is "Keep Portland Weird." Sounds like a lot of places I know, looks like it's full of weirdos. Full story
