"Living in Portland (OR) for 18 years, and never understood the "Keep Portland Weird" bumper stickers. What's weird about it?"

When all the hippies were forced out of SF, they headed north and landed in Oregon. Most settled in Eugene, but a lot of them went to Portland (some people aren't really comfy in the "wilderness", you know). The Oregonians were somewhat aghast when these people with New Ideas arrived, but they eventually kind of got used to them.

Portland seems pretty Mainstream to me, but then, I'm from southern California.

BTW, one of the main problems with roadkill is exploded and perforated guts contaminating the meat and, as already mentioned, the fresheness or lack thereof.
