28 Reasons that prove Portland is still the 🦄 weirdest city in America

Is Portland really still weird? Yep. And we have the proof.

One of Portland’s claims to fame is that it’s weird.
You’ll find weird Portland things to do and see in every Portland guidebook.
You’ll certainly find more weirdness if you’re a local.

Sure, there are some people grumbling about how it really isn’t weird anymore. But we beg to differ.

So for those who have been asking the questions, “Is Portland Still Weird” or “What Makes Portland Weird” or “Has Portland Lost Its Weirdness,” we’ve got answers.

We’ve put together a compendium of Portland weirdness just to prove our point (with help from Weird Portland United, of course). Some of Portland’s weirdness has fallen by the wayside (click on through to read the histories of those), but for the most part, our list is chock full of the weirdness that continues to make Portland weird today.

And just to think, there’s still more weirdness to cover: the Ice Dicks (we didn’t say that!), the “Hung Far Low” Sign, the Egg Beater Bike Rack, the Senior Bikini Car Wash and and and…

But until then, have a look.
