My boss is from Seattle, and he says people from Seattle say, "Oh Portland is really nice, I like Portland a lot," and people from Portland say, "Fuck Seattle, Portland is way better than Seattle." And in my experience, it's true.

It's true, Portland already feels too big, and the Seattle Metro area is over 1.5 times the size of Portland. Portland is set up on a grid, so it's really tough to get lost, while Seattle seems to be set up completely random with angled streets in every direction. I always wonder how people living on opposite sides of Seattle can even get drunk together without spending the night or paying $80 for a cab home. Getting across town on transit is nearly impossible there while I can get anywhere in Portland in 30 minutes on transit.
I imagine a lot of close cities with similar climates would have the same opinion of each other, the smaller hating the larger and the larger liking the smaller. Dallas/Austin maybe?

Toronto/Vancouver is exactly like that.

I loved Portland so much for that. We had done no research whatsoever when me and a friend went down, just booked a hostel, and we found our way so easily everywhere the whole week. It was so nice not to be stressed out trying to get around.

Portland/Seattle/Vancouver is a pretty fucking solid trio of cities. I'm very happy to be living in the middle of them.

Being 100% single is flippin' rejuvenating.

DAMN RIGHT!
Funny story, my college's basketball teams fight song is the Charleston, because nothing gets a team more pumped than swing dancing! I don't even wanna count how many times I've played that song. (I do still like it though.)

That just reminded me of that SNL skit where they play the craziest woodwind tunes to get pumped.
