Nice reading that link.

Thanks for posting.

Since these trendy 20-something things go in cycles, when Portlandia becomes 'over' or 'so-last {Fill-in-the-blank}", I wonder where the next Portlandia will be?

When I was 20-something the place to be was Denver. I think the next "Portlandia" will be one of the future recovered cities in the Midwest. Or maybe Northeast. Who knows? It may be gearing up to happen as we post.

When I was a twenty-something, it was Seattle. So I moved to NYC.

I think so, too! Crime is a bit higher than Portland but a lot of companies and cheaper housing. Also, not too far from NYC, relatively speaking.
