Exploregonians: Travel Misadventures
43. Portland, Oregon
It’s finally time to journey to the City of Roses!
Katie and Jordan scratch the surface of a dozen years of adventures in Portland, Oregon and reminisce about the dance injury that led to Jordan giving Katie a piggyback ride to urgent care.
Jordan’s earliest Portland memories are wrapped around nearly being abducted by the circus and going to his first concert to see the dream performer every 90s kid was dying to see: Neil Diamond.
Katie claims Portland is kinda goth and Jordan claims it’s just introverted.
The duo discuss Portlandia, the United States’ second-largest copper statue that is under some intense copyright by its creator.
Jordan learns all about the legendary Portland figure Bill Naito and how he shaped much of the modern identity of downtown Portland for the better.
