Portland: American Eden?
Travel + Leisure magazine has recently named Portland “American Eden,” and the article is worth reading. A few choice quotes:
Rich or poor, they all come to Portland for the quality of life. In the past few years, Portland has become a metaphor for enlightened humanism and progressive government, a little pocket of Sweden in the States.
I assume that’s a compliment?
Portland is a city of youth and intelligence, full of microbrew-chugging tech nerds from the campuses of such higher-learning institutions as Intel, Nike, and Adidas. The new people in town are fleeing mainstream America, especially the deracinated, let’s-grab-a-bite-at-the-multiplex life of the soul-crushing suburbs.
