Portland has a slogan, “Keep Portland Weird,” and the city has been taking that very seriously for a very long time. You have Powell’s Books, the largest independent bookstore in the world, taking up an entire city block. You have Voodoo Doughnut which has a line outside at 2am and somehow deserves it. You have more microbreweries per capita than almost any city in America, food carts clustered in permanent pods that operate like outdoor restaurants, and Forest Park sitting right at the edge of the city with 80 miles of trails running through it.
And then 90 minutes away you have Mount Hood. One hour in the other direction is the Oregon Coast.
Portland pulls off something most cities cannot, it is genuinely interesting and the outdoors are genuinely right there. If you are posting from the Rose City and you want a caption that feels like you actually understood what makes it special, these 85 are exactly what you need.
