I live and was born in Portland. Don't move here. Please don't move here. Go to Seattle or San Francisco because they are WAY larger and more interesting. All that's left in Portland are neo hippies and homeless Californian transplants.

Not sure. But there is an episode of Portlandia where they set up a joke, deliver the punchline, and then just run it into the ground and beyond. "Is this your bike?" "How about this one?" "This one?" "Is this your bike?" "Is it this one?"

So if you were to go to a strip club with naked ladies, you would have to also go to a strip club with naked gentlemen, and pretend to enjoy it just as much. Since nobody wants to do that, nobody can go to a strip club, therefore minimal market for strip clubs. San Francisco life explained.

Yes, there is one where Jim Gaffigan starts up a food truck called "Stu's Stews" with his gay lover. Falls kind of flat

Portland is awesome  It has all kind of hipster craft stuff like donuts, lots of good beers, food, moderate climate, you can bike everywhere on a fixie. Lot of coffee shops and local artists and it's a chill city Everyone should move there. Rents are cheaper than SF and Seattle so you can be a poor starving hipster in portland and survive. Plus you can be an extra on Portlandia

Portland is okay mainly for the Japanese and Chinese gardens and all the easily obtainable middle eastern street food Lot of d-bags but that's what makes Portlandia so funny

San Francisco life explained. this is not really true, first of all any man who lives in SF is half gay anyway, second nobody believes in equality except amongst their class peers, they believe people have to achieve a certain level of class which entails proper personal behaviors and tastes etc. and otherwise they are garbage (hence the shunning) who should be taken care of by government facilities in some way. going to strip clubs is simply low class and no man of privilege and decency goes near them.

I thought the appeal of food trucks was that it was supposed to be cheap, being made in a truck and all, but I paid $9 for a turkey burger there is no justice in the world.

Portland is full of crazy people but at least they're harmless. The crazy people in Victoria are kind of scary.

Yeah this is every food truck. They're often more expensive than proper restaurants because *food truck*. Man food trucks are so authentic, so local, so authentically local and hip. You pay a huge premium for that hip authentic local truck food. I've yet to see a food truck that didn't have the exact same prices as a sit-down restaurant that usually tastes better and actually has a bathroom and place to sit.

The point of the food truck was I could eat without having to sit down, or stop moving for longer than it took them to make me the food

I visited Portland in 2012. I liked the city so I moved here. Portland is pretty nifty. Food trucks are the best place to eat downtown. Portlandia is a dumb show thats rarely funny. The end.

I've yet to see a food truck that didn't have the exact same prices as a sit-down restaurant that usually tastes better and actually has a bathroom and place to sit. yeah. When food trucks first started opening up in ~2006 around here, they were usually cheaper, better quality, and more portions than a lot of local low/mid-end restaurants. So they made a pretty big splash and got a lot of worth of mouth spreading. however, prices have gone up, quality and portions have gone drastically down on them and restaurants have upped their game so there's really no reason to do food trucks except for convenience (which may not be that convenient if you gotta check twitter or w/e to figure out where they are) or to be hip eating at some ~california asian mexican filipino vietnamese fusion cuisine poo poo~ And a lot of once(still?) popular food trucks have now opened brick & mortar stores. surprise, they're not doing too well. At my old university, there was a hallah food cart that served chicken over rice for like $6.75/gyro for $5.50 and it was loving huge and delicious, way better than anything at a restaurant and would fill you up for the rest of the day. I'v heard that prices are now $8-9 with less quality and smaller portions Xaris fucked around with this message at 22:09 on Jul 5, 2014 |

Portlandia was meant as a brief mockery of the hipster subculture and instead is its shining best example, which is to say its briefly cute and a little bland and will be easily forgotten
