Praise for This is Portland : "If you're a newcomer to Portland, it's the letter home you're too busy to write yourself.

And it looks bad ass." --Andrew Dickson, actor and advertizing director, Wieden+Kennedy "Great little insights into such things as rain, Portland's nicknames, food carts, bands, Portland drivers, strip clubs, tattoos, tater tots, snow, bikes, beer and much more. Really, you should just read it." --Mikel Kelly, Portland Metro "great little insights into such things as rain, Portland's nicknames, food carts, bands, Portland drivers, strip clubs, tattoos, tater tots, snow, bikes, beer and much more.
