Top 10 Rules for Surviving Portland
It’s a big week for us at City Cast Portland: in a few days, we’re hitting the show’s second anniversary! For two years, City Cast Portland has been your guide to all things Portland, and if there’s one thing we’ve all learned, it’s that the city has its own set of unwritten rules: Even our street names have unique pronunciations. Today, we’re listening back to a conversation host Claudia Meza had with producers John Notarianni and Giulia Fiaoni about some of the unofficial rules of how to survive — and thrive — in our city.
This conversation first aired on Dec 13, 2023
Portland’s 10 Essential Rules:
- Hold a strong set of beliefs on a niche topic.
- Learn how to pronounce our deceptively simple street names, like “Couch.”
- Know that you’ll never know who is gay.
- Learn how to wake up early.
- Keep your hiking boots on hand.
- Learn how to parallel park.
- Get ghosted gracefully.
- Getting compliments from strangers is normal.
- Get your ass outside when the sun shines.
- Embrace the grittiness.
