On this day in 1851 – Portland, Oregon, was founded. I was happy to see this in my “on this day” viewer. Surprisingly I had no idea this was the case. So I went off in search of a very Portlandesque quote, as you can imagine, there’s a whole bunch of things that have been said about my hometown, but I thought Loretta Lynn said it best:
Well Portland Oregon and sloe gin fizz
If that ain’t love then tell me what is
Well I lost my heart it didn’t take no time
But that ain’t all. I lost my mind in Oregon
