But wait, there's more! There's Portland, Oregon, of course. The hipster haven, the city of bridges, and the place where everyone seems to own a fixie bike. Then there's Portland, Indiana, which is probably not as cool as Oregon, but hey, every Portland has its charm, right? And let's not forget Portland, Texas. I'm guessing it's hot there. Really hot.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg! There are Portlands in Connecticut, Kansas, Kentucky, and a bunch of other places I can't even pronounce. It's like the universe decided to get really creative with city names one day.
