Such a nice insight of the transformation of Portland over the years!! The image of "1978 that the city sticks to while the world might be a lap ahead although we lead on some things" is amazing!!! Being a foreigner (Canadian!!), I find Jon's description of the Portland's spirit and transformation so true to how I perceived the 'flock' of wanna be Portlanders; confident and creative people full of liveability!!!
