Weird Portland United

At Mother Foucoult's, it's written in chalk on multiple walls that cell phones and laptop computers are strictly prohibited.

In one sense, there's a bit of guilt in having my phone out to capture the scene. In another sense, it would be a crime not to share how cool this place is.

Loosely compiled used books, random seating arrangements, and an antique aura make this place ideal for both a cozy read and a frantic study - something for everyone!

Keep Portland Weird!

The weather helped, but what really makes Portland glow is the people.

Portland's defining quality is that we believe in our marrow that the world is beautiful when people are allowed to be different.

We are fiercely protective of our rights to be individuals, and we make our protests doing what Portland does best:

Hosting life-affirming spectacles.

Last year, 40,000 people marched in Portland's second No Kings protest. The third will be taking place this Saturday, March 28th.
