As someone from Portland, Maine, I always get a little miffed when people don't specify that this is Portland, Oregon.
Yeah, Portland, Oregon's metro area is about 4x the size of that of Maine's largest city, but it's not like it's an order of magnitude or anything.
Maybe I'm just jealous that there's more going on there than here. :(
- dmix 15y agoThen isn't mentioning "Portland, Maine" the better requirement?
- blackguardx 15y agoShould everyone in California have to specify that they live in California the state, rather than this place: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California,_Pennsylvania http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California,_Pennsylvania
- fuzionmonkey 15y agoIt's like somebody in Moscow, Idaho getting upset that people don't refer to it as Moscow, Russia. Face it, Portland, Oregon is the real Portland.
- pnathan 15y agoWoah, someone actually knows Moscow, Idaho exists. +1, sir.
- fuzionmonkey 15y agoI've been there, haha.
- mosburger 15y agoNope. I won't. 500,000 people live in this area. We're the cultural center of the state. We aren't small potatoes. Face it, Portland, OR is bigger, but it certainly doesn't dwarf Portland, ME. Moscow, Russia has 11 million people. Moscow, Idaho has 23,000. I know you're probably being flippant, but I hardly think that's a fair analogy. Besides, we had the name first. :)
