These two Portland blogs debuted last summer. At the time, I wondered which of them would last the longest. I put my money on Things About Portland That Suck and I was right. The last post to appear on Portland is Awesome was last September.

It's a shame but, given the collective disaffection that's been growing like a fungus on this town lately, I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise. C'mon, Portland. Chin up. The local economy may stink, our streets may be clogged with flying bullets and our mayor may very well be a sociopath but at least we're still sitting atop an ever growing supply of the best locally produced beer and liquor in the country.
