Portland is a city. An average sized city by many state standards, but the largest city in Maine. It has a diverse population, unlike the many towns surrounding it. If you want to go "out" in Southern Maine, you make the trip to the old port. The architecture and museums are school field trip destinations. The city has many look-out points along Casco Bay.

Get the Portland, Maine mug.The greatest fucking city in the United States. There aren't any jobs there, but the people, parks, coffee, indie music, proximity to excellent hydroponic weed and general vibe of the place make up for it. I can't believe I left and am going back as soon as possible.

Get the Porkland, Oregon mug.The Portland that is NOT in Maine. The unknown town in the middle of nowhere. Where everybody knows everybody and their mom. Where Mr. Miles and Mr. Record Teach High School to unsuspecting students and fail them. Where everybody has worked at either tri-town or dunkin donuts (we have two of them). Where the only thing to do on the weekend is to get drunk, high or both. Where you can travel for 15 minutes before reaching a major road.
'Let's go to Portland, CT !'
"Are you kidding me?! Thats where Mr. Miles teaches Junior English and everyone fails."
