My tribute to my home stomping grounds in Oregon:

Portland, Portland, you're a pretty good city,
Wilder than Salem,
Bigger than Burns.*
I find you a lot more interesting than Boring,**
And I find you whenever I drive up I-Five...
And don't turn.

*Burns is a wide spot in the road 'way over next to the Idaho border.
**Boring, OR is another wide spot (smaller than Burns, I think) on the outskirts of Portland.

Salem is our state capital and, despite being close to 90,000 people, they still roll up the sidewalks at about 8 PM.
