Top 10 Things to do in Portland, Oregon

[@kellieturk8255]

Great video, however being from here the only real distraction was your mispronunciation of Oregon “Or-e-gun”. Thanks for sharing our beautiful city.

[@WanderlustWellman]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! My apologies about the mispronunciation - growing up in the midwest, that's how I always heard the state pronounced. Portland is certainly a beautiful and wonderful city

[@aaronyoung8836]

@@WanderlustWellman Hi, I'm another Portlander and while the Or-e-gone pronunciation also drove me crazy, this is a really good video! I think you really highlighted a lot of what this area has to offer and I'm glad you had a good time here. You're welcome back any time and next time you'll know how to say Oregon. Cheers!

[@WanderlustWellman]

@@aaronyoung8836 My bad on the pronunciation, I promise you that I've been alerted many times on my mispronunciation of your state since my videos have been posted haha! I'm glad you liked the video, I was blown away by Portland and was so excited to share my favorite things I experienced there. Looking forward to coming back soon!

[@hughmungus19]

Every video I've looked up on oregon someone is bitching about someone not pronouncing something correctly

[@andretokayuk8100]

@@WanderlustWellman You all got it wrong, it's Porkland, Whoregone... land of fat perjuring and racketeering pigs in a state where all the moral prostitutes have gone to work for the parasite state.. Watch out for badged road pirates London Westerlund and Eric Thorsen.. They'll state-rape you, and they'll state-rob you.. zero conscience, psychotic tendencies, and the amazing ability to bold-faced lie in court.

By all means come to Oregon, there is so much to do here. But being #2 in the US for car theft and having a 50/50 chance of getting your car window smashed, staying in downtown Portland is not a good idea. There are lots of nice places to stay just outside the city limits.

Portland had a net loss 18,200 residents from 2020 to 2022, making it the 6th fastest shrinking city in the nation. No doubt it will lose more this year. People don't flee desirable places. Portland was great 10 or 20 years ago. Now it is becoming Detroit 2.0 due to moronic woke policies, lawlessness and a dying downtown. All the good foodie places aren't going to make up for that.

@Mihaela I grew up there and watched as the tent cities slowly started taking over every patch of grass next to the roads. I've worked in businesses while a random guy is urinating on the front window. I've been threatened by random lunatics who thought I was following them when I just got off of work. The police don't show up to deal with crime, but they will definitely pull me over 7 times in 3 months for no discernable reason. My family forked over more than half our income just for rent in some of the worst parts of town. We couldn't save. The daily crime was getting out of control. The city was literally watching us because somebody complained that we were always doing repairs on our cars, so of course they had time and resources for that. Thankfully, we managed to get out before the riots, and everyone I talk to that moved out of there after I left has told me things have just gotten worse.
