Downtown, Inner Northeast, and North Portland area's are full of thug's, gangbanger's, drug dealer's and are predominatly Black and Hispanic.

p much the only interesting city in oregon. it's urban and hip w a lot of good restaurants and cafes. it's a smaller city, but there's still a lot to do. people are generally nice, but there are a lot of repressed yuppies *mostly in forest heights.* it's a burgeoning and growing city but it's getting there. it has a small and big town feel at the same time, and it's not too expensive. a lot of people move here, mostly from the bay area
Dude I heard you were moving from San Jose! Where are you moving to?

Get the Portland mug.A smallish west-coast city. Heavily populated with liberals and counterculturists, it is a Democrat city holding a Republican state hostage. Known to corrupt people once they move within the city limits, creating arrogant, rebellious youths who style themselves as revolutionaries and try to rebell against every possible institution. This has created widespread drawbacks and has caused the birth of many new ways to refer to the city, such as:
"Moscow-on-the-Williamate"
"Sodom-on-the-river"
and
"Oregons' Cesspit."
In the end, Portland is a festering sore in the otherwise pristine Williamate valley.

"Hey, do you think this black mascara makes me look rebellious enough to go to the punk show tonight?"
"Hey, do you think if I put my bra on backwards I could start a trend?"
"Hey, do you like my new messenger bag? I was tired of my old one, it had a brand sticker on it and I felt like I was supporting some evil corporate empire, so I set it on fire in somebodies' mailbox."
"Dating Portland girls is like fishing in a ditch: if you do catch something, you're gonna need antibiotics."

Get the Portland mug.One of the most boring cities. Lousy weather, no sports (except for an NBA team), no amusement parks, no nothing. It's hick.

Get the Portland mug.A eerily clean city in the state of Oregon. It's full of hippies and there are too many environmentalists. The city itself is nice on the surface but then you just realize it is a wannabe Seattle. About half of it's metro population comes from Washington state. The blazers suck and the northern side of the city on the willamette is full of graffiti, thugs, and drugs. In the downtown area there is an enormous ammount of bums that will ask you for bus fair. The weather is nice but there are too many parks/rose gardes that allow free loaders to play hacky sack and be lazy in their tie die t shirts. The city is only successful because it tries to be like Seattle. The only good thing about this city is the fact that there is no sales tax. Essentially people from Vancouver, WA do all their shopping in Portland.
