50 Things Every Portlander Must Do
The path to ultimate Portlandness is loud, tasty, sweaty, and always surprising. It’s time you got started. Listen up, n00bs. From urban vino and roller derby to public nudity and Baby Ketten karaoke, the road to ultimate Portlandness takes serious commitment. Its time to put your initials on the high-score screen. Whether youve just arrived here (dont tell anyone!) or you were sipping drinks at Satyricon when Courtney Love was cuddling the Cabbage Patch, think of these pages as a phased journey toward Oregon self-actualization. When you cross off that fiftieth item, go ahead and call yourself a consummate local. Until then, there are no cheat codes.
