Portland, Oregon is a small, large metropolitan city of half a million plus people, just off the coast of the Pacific Ocean. Fun fact: Portland has more nicknames than Dirt McGirt, like PDX, the City of Roses (official), Beervana, P-Town, Stumptown, etc. Much like its sister city, Seattle, Washington, Portland is one of the major cities of the Pacific Northwest, and is ruled by grey skies, caffeine, yummy beer, and beautiful artistic sadness.
Despite this seemingly depressing environment, Portland flourishes under these conditions. It's a young, lively city dominated by food trucks, great music, retired hipsters, and a bunch of strip clubs.Indeed, Portland is a vast, vibrant land of 95 unique neighborhoods, where you're not too far away from the flavorful fun from their love of brewing killer beer. Expert socialite, Kris Emery, describes it as "the greatest city ever;" noting that the people in Portland are better than most. High praise from America's favorite Dania hater. Indeed, you can easily romp around the city for a weekend, or even get lost and live a lifetime there. Anything goes in Portland.
Socially, Portland is a progressive, liberal city that has an open attitude to a variety of lifestyles and political choices...on the left-leaning side of the spectrum. Most notably, Portland reflects the states' love of free speech, has a giant LGBT population, and resides in only one of two states (joined by Washington) in permitting Netherlands-like euthanasia. We think it's fair to say that if you're a tolerant person, you'll enjoy living in Portland.
Unfortunately, the future of Portland is at risk of being wiped off the planet, due to a decline in birth rate. With 44% of the population in the 18 to 44 years old range, there should be plenty of fantastic Portlandians contributing to the gene pool to make society better! What on earth is preventing America's coolest people from procreating?
Some have suggested to us that the mere terribleness of Dania's existence in Portland (including their other Oregon locations) has single-handedly siphoned out the love, romance, and passion of Portlandians such that they are not reproducing. We reject that notion, because it seems pretty crazy, although we do agree that Dania is terrible and bad. We're sure there are other reasons as to why that's the case, but we do not have any evidence that Dania isn't sucking out the love that ignites the passion that creates families, or that the sheer horror that is Dania is sterilizing a significant population of Oregon. With nearly 60% of Oregon's state population being concentrated in the greater Portland metropolitan area, it certainly does seem odd, but again...we don't agree with it, despite the fact that we can discredit that strong, seems-like-a-fact-but-isn't, opinion.
Hopefully Portlandians can find a way to keep procreating, to keep their cool-ass city alive, well, and with a future. Can someone at least stop selling contraceptives there for cryin out loud?! Portland, we are praying for you. Do yourself a favor and avoid this location and/or calling them, at all cost:
