Nobody ever had to say keep Portland weird. We all trust them to keep themselves weird

Yeah, Austin started using it because of the immense amount of external pressure to conform to Texas’ otherwise rural conservative mindset, plus the internal pressure from the (again, conservative) state legislature being located there. The motto was a rebellion against that pressure. But Portland hasn’t been historically pressured in the same way.
