When you grow up in Portland (or at least spend a few decades here), certain things just become part of you. While this isn’t a bad thing, sometimes these habits can be hard to shake, even when we leave the City of Roses. Do any of these Portland habits sound familiar to you?
- Bringing A Rain Jacket Along
Benedicto de Jesus / Flickr You never know when you will need it.
- Scanning Restaurant Menus For Local Beer and Wine
Christine Rondeau / Flickr Ours is the best.
- Leaving the Umbrella At Home
Y’amal / Flickr Why fuss with an umbrella when you can just put on your hood? Besides the wind will instantly break your umbrella 9 out of 10 times.
- Bringing A Sweater To The Coast
Loren Kerns / Flickr We know it will never be hot on a trip to the Oregon coast.
- Staying In The Car At The Gas Station
Allen / Flickr Even when we travel out of state it can be difficult to remember that no one will come help you if you just wait.
- Being A Foodie
James Carnes / Flickr We have so much great food that it is hard not to swoon over your favorite food cart, restaurant, and chef.
- Feeling The Need To Be Outdoors
MacroPrudential / Flickr Nature is always calling us to come outside and enjoy the amazing world around us.
- Being The Politest Drivers On The Road
Ian Sane / Flickr We have been voted some of the most polite drivers in the country by various polls, and if you don’t believe it, head over to a four-way stop and see how things pan out.
- Dressing Casual

Michael Matti / Flickr We are an adventurous group and always ready to get out there and have an adventure.
