I do get tired of Oregon being the red-headed step child forgotten, arm pit of the US state.
Naw, Borgy, you weren't defensive in the least.
The problem is that people are catching on to that and want to move here. Our natural areas, reasonable cities and refined culture are wonderful and drive immigration. The result is depressing. We're less the place we used to be and more like everywhere else. Parts of Portland are quite indistinguishable from Seattle or San Francisco now; the clamor for the prestige bestowed by hipness or money is everywhere. Feh. I like the old ways. So....
May people always regard Oregon as a red-headed armpit. Not much to see, just move along. Have you ever noticed that it smells kind of bad here?
