Another Mantra: #KeepPortlandWeird (something they say in #Portland (Oregon), like Oklahoma's 'Thunder Up!' or something) | @Wikipedia
That's the motto on a mug my brother gave me (visiting Oklahoma City again from Portland after years-&-years (I hear "7"; but I'm getting old, and time is ... different)). Let's see how 'big' that mantra is (linked through the bold text below).
The word “Portland” (named for Land Surrounding a Harbor ... originally in Dorsetshire (England), then in Maine (after they won a coin-toss with Boston (Massachusetts)), then in #Oregon (& probably in lots of other places)) is built with the words Port & Land.
that's right beside #Portlandian #Portlandians ("Portlandia"
only exists in the title of that 'Fred Armisen'-sitcom)

The word “Oregon” (named for named after a large river in the west of North America) is built on ancient words that mean Beautiful.
that's right beside #Oregonian #Oregonians #OregonTrail
And so it goes.
