Since marrying a die-hard Oregonian I have noticed a lot of weird quirks about Oregonians. So far I've really liked Oregonians but this was funny today. We went to downtown Bend, Oregon, and I noticed while stopped at a stop light that the place was littered with Oregonian paraphernalia. While my Oregonian counterparts got their Food, I walked about a block and took some pictures of this nuthouse. Again this was all on one block, only a quarter of the block. There was too much to document.
1) Barber shops galore! I was surprised to see so many barber shops and so little beauty salons. I looked inside, and it was full of Indy kids, all sporting the same haircut. I thought the idea was to be unique with that haircut.
2) Even the old people are sporting the Indy style.
3) No shortage of thrift shops and art galleries here. AND it's a plus in the basement!
5) Teahouses: this is a who's who of interesting tea loving people. You waver heard of bubble tea? If you don't mind slimey boogers in your drink.
7) Love oregon stickers. I actually really like these stickers. This entails everything about oregon. Lots of bikes and state pride. Cool looking stickers.
9) Weird sayings that are intended to be deep but end up being nasty are all over the place. "Love is an ingrown toenail: it's always there and hurts you if you mess with it.".... Something like that.
10) I found a bulletin board that was full of goodies! This lady is offer free campfire song lessons. Just a dollar a minute! What is she a lawyer or something!?
11) Slacklining: it's everywhere. Pretty sweet when someone can bounce on it like a boss. For me, I just bounce right off.
12) Support the cause! There is no shortage of causes here.
13) I was tracking this guy all day. And he gave me a pose inform of this store, Paper Jazz. He must be visiting from a Portland coffee house. Where's the bongos?
14) Oregonians love there leather footwear. Especially when their toes are showing.
Go Oregonia, beautiful place, weird minded people.
