Hipster Portland in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal

by Your Portland Financial Advisor on 05/18/2009

Portland is certainly a curiosity of the print media over the last week. First the Old Gray Lady wrote about Frugal Portland on the 10th and then the Journal puts out ‘Youth Magnet’ Cities Hit Midlife Crisis.

The Times article more or less talks about how great it is to live in Portland and the Journal article says pretty much the same but that there are not any jobs. Interestingly the Journal article is the second most popular article read online so the interest in Portland is there and judging from many of the comments, remains an odd curiosity for many people.

But really its not surprising as my wife and I just hosted some out of town photographers for a few days and they loved Portland as had every other guest who ever visited.
