I needed a new city to move to. I spent two years in a crappy fly-over state in a crappy job working with midwest obese people and, being used to places like New York City and L.A, was desperate for something new. Then I saw Portlandia and I just had to move here to see if the people were as cute as they are portrayed in the show. And you know what? You ARE! I was delighted that you are all just like the people in Portlandia. What a find! I just want to hug all of you. Thank you Portlandia! Thanks Fred and Carrie!

  5. Awwwww!!! C’mere, you knucklehead!!! Live long and prosper. I came here from the same place with but $400 in my pocket, and it was the best move I ever made. Governor Tom McCall told me not to — “Visit, but don’t stay” — but I ignore false authorities of all kinds.

  7. the same thing happened to me! though i spent a lot more time in one of those delightful mid western states. love you portland. and no, i’m not being sarcastic.

  8. I really wasn’t going to comment, just decided to read them expecting this poor person to be ripped to shreds by the many cynical and jaded trolls that frequent this blog. I was pleasantly surprised to see so many people supporting this view of Portland, which I happen to share. I’ve lived here on and off for 12 years and the vast majority of people I meet are happy, friendly, positive and yes, adorable (in a hot wax on your nipples kind of way).
