    In the last year, there has been a lot of PORTLAND popping up in Hipster-growing Los Angeles.

    Pok Pok (2 of them coming soon)
    Salt and Straw
    Tanner Goods
    Ace Hotel
    Stumptown Roasters

    Downtown might get the same street cars, they were using Portland as a model.

    ITS LIKE I NEVER LEFT BRO.

    Dallas and Phoenix are also using Portland as the model for their new streetcar system.

    The bigger question is, are the streets flooded with ironic hipsters, like yourself?

    Vancouver, BC has some Portland envy too.

    There is a bar named 'Portland Craft' and features food-cart style food and Portland brewery brand beer.

    Silicon Valley residents are moving to Portland in droves. Iirc, the metro is the 10th fastest growing in the nation.

    Searches for Portland real-estate from that area is up 400%

    Blazer/Warrior home games are going to feel like Blazer/Laker games -- 50/50
