Another Mantra: #KeepPortlandWeird (something they say in #Portland (Oregon), like Oklahoma's 'Thunder Up!' or something) | @Wikipedia

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
