Is it just me or do all the white people in Portland look like decrepit cretins?
Something weird about that joint. Stopped in a bar downtown there a few years ago and thought I was in some sort of David Lynch movie casting call.
Must be the lack of sunlight! No vitamin D...

Decades ago our youngest son had moved to Oregone to become a chef in Feb. that year.
We went up the Oregone coast on a vacation and to visit him in May of that year.
We noticed that the further north of Brookings/Gold Beach, a banana belt area on the coast, the paler and whiter people where.
Some of the shops on the coastal route were actually closed during prime sun time so the owners/and their help could get some sunlight if there was any sun that day. Or they sat in chairs on the sidewalks outside their stores if the sun was shining.
When, we finally saw our former California Golden Boy, he was as white as the other Portlandgonians.
I worked for a Beaverton, OR company {back in the 90s} although I was an East Coast sales guy, I spent considerable time in that area, including Portland.
Other than the weather, I loved it.
People were reserved but genuinely friendly, the bars and eating joints were very reasonable in comfort and price and I realize that was more than 20+ years ago.
The entire West Coast, from San Diego to Seattle was a wonderful place to work, party, live and visit during the 70s, 80s and 90s and early 2000s, but some time after 9/11/2001 the whole west coast went to hell.
I have friends that own homes in La Quinta on PGA West, the Stadium Course and a few others and it was and is a great place to visit and play golf, but other than that, I would never travel to kalifornkator in today's environment.
LA, NFW; SF, double NFW, San Diego; triple NFW, Carmel, maybe, with heavy security.
The courses in and around La Quinta, OK, but I will travel with security and only with friends that I know.
There will be no bar hopping, and late night stoned parties at the local joints.
SAD.
