Portland has more nicknames than any small city should have. Stumptown, Rip City, Bridgetown, Portlandia, Beervana and on and on. But probably the best known is the Rose City. Roses can be found on our manhole covers, filling rose gardens, and giving name to our neighborhoods, races, elephants and festivals. |
