    Man I love P-Town! Whenever I get back form a road trip for work, I just feel lucky to have lived here my whole life!

    Portland and Vancouver BC were the only NW cities to make that list.

    The entertainment/film industry is starting to grow as well with Laika animation studios and a TV show being filmed primarily in Portland.

    Word up. I fucking love this town. I was born in Portland, but I've been to 26 countries and lived in a few states. Portland is my favorite city anywhere. Only Amsterdam, Prague and Krakow hold a candle to it.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Toronto was #15. I guess Turkoglu saw this article.

    Chicago is #1? As a formerly single guy who lived there, that puts the rest of the list in doubt. It's a freaking sausage fest.

    That list is dreadful. Madrid should be way higher than Barcelona (#2). Barcelona is full of ignorant Catalonians who ignore you if you can't speak Spanish or Catalan. Some of them don't even speak Spanish! The place is full of gypsies who are constantly trying to rip tourists off. Madrid has a much better nightlife and isn't full of Catalonians--Much more polite.

    London at fourth? What the fuck? "The home of football"? Football started up north before it was founded in London. The place is such a dump and the only thing worthy to its name is the transportation and tourist attractions. Housing is over-inflated and even a pint of Stella costs five bucks.

    The only one I agree with in the top five is Sydney. Beautiful city. Friendly people. It would be fantastic place to live.

    That's about right in Portland at most bars/clubs not during happy hour.

    Hmm, what's closer to Belgium? London or Portland? I think the import tax makes it five bucks in Portland. A much greater distance to travel.

    Well, Shaq has played in Portland many times.
    Shaq is the Big Aristotle.
    And Aristotle was Belgian.
    So I guess Portland is closer.
