- davidw 3y ago'The 26' is not something people from Oregon say.
- irrational 3y agoI’ve lived here for 23+ years and have heard people say it all of that time.
- davidw 3y agoLots of transplants from points south say it, or people who have spent time with them.
- irrational 3y agoSo, basically everyone in the metro area? Because in the past two decades, I’ve never heard someone say 26, it is always the 26.
- gnicholas 3y agoNo one says "the I-5" — it's just "the 5".
