Is it cold in here?:
Powell's Bookstore is awesome. Check it out if you're in Portland. It's so big they have maps of it at the entrance. I fantasize about building a penthouse apartment on their roof.
Shadic:
Powell's is indeed awesome.
And Cybit - Portland just feels like Seattle but less of a giant city. It's like a weird child of Olympia (my hometown) and Seattle... With some pretty nice public transportation.
Haven't noticed any huge hipster populations, I'm on a college campus and I think the amount of them is relatively normal for progressive liberal areas.
calmcalamity:
Boomslang is pretty much on par, though i always thought of it as more of ore (as in metal ore) and gun, or or-uh-gun, and on the issue of Ahr-e-gon or Or-e-gon i don't really think it's that big a deal.
Also, no hipsters are not the only thing that Portland attracts, we happen to be the center of the indie comics industry with the native born Dark Horse Comics, Periscope Studio,and Stumptown comics fest, etc.
On top of that there is a plethora of other nerdy things to love about this city, see the Portland Geek Council of Commerce and Culture (http://www.pgc3.org/) and next weekend Wonder Northwest (like Wondercon, but better)
On a final note here are the list of Portland, OR nicknames that you can use without a native glaring at you or face palming: City of Roses or Rose City, Bridgetown, Stumptown, and everybody's favorite, PDX
here is what you shouldn't use, EVER: P-Town, Rip City, Razorblade City
Little Beirut is somewhat outdated and obscure, but the more hardcore leftists in the city i think still enjoy that moniker
The Duke:
This is where I learned its pronunciation.
Kugai:
[DarthVaderVoice] Come to Portland. We have Cookies [/DarthVaderVoice' :-D
On another front, could this be foreshadowing?
Or am I reading more into this than there really is.
