Not sure if this has already been posted, but found this video on YouTube that I thought was really great (the title of it sucks though):


YouTube - Portland Is Better Than Your City

If you believe the video, it is bright blue and sunny in Portland and everyone plays music and dances in the streets.

Note to Out-of-town visitors: THIS VIDEO MUST CLEARLY HAVE BEEN FILMED IN LATE JULY OR AUGUST AND IS NOT REFLECTIVE OF TYPICAL PORTLAND WEATHER! (there- feel better?)

Also, do not expect to see many people singing or dancing in the streets. You will see quite a few people carrying signs. Not too many will say "Love" but some will imply love for money.

It's a nice video but it could have been taken in most cities I have been to. Only the buildings would look different. It's a wonderful sales pitch for tourism.

Um, do you live in Portland, or are you out in the suburbs (e.g., Beaverton, Lake Oswego)? I happen to live in Goose Hollow right downtown, and if you go to Skidmore in the summer it is not uncommon to see the street music scene happening. I don't think that the video is unrealistic at all actually, other than the amazing weather.
