Better pics of the dude with a coffee mug for a head:

Place were the benches are punctuation:

Did you know?

Pictures of things in a store in the Hawthorne district (Hawthorne district is the capital of all the weirdness here):

Also, Portlandia defending the Portland Building:

Salix Babylonika · 2013-04-13 17:52:08

I want to vacation to this place.

Anonus · 2013-04-13 18:16:04

You guys have punctuation mark benches?

Justice4243 · 2013-04-13 18:24:35

Not like...all over the place. But one of the stops for the MAX (train) in downtown does.

Justice4243 · 2013-04-13 18:26:34

A few more (not taken by me) at the same location:

Anonus · 2013-04-13 18:30:09

420 peace symbol

Cool

Also some people should totally dress up as Dipper and Mabel and have their picture taken by that question mark one

Justice4243 · 2013-04-13 18:58:51

And then someone can dress up as Solid Snake and sit next to the exclamation mark.

Oh my goooood I miss Portland.

RocketRunner · 2013-04-14 20:55:26

Now I'm wondering if Portland has a place where you sit down on a giant pinball table.

Imipolex G · 2013-04-14 21:23:55

There are no self-serve gas stations in Oregon?

Justice4243 · 2013-04-15 00:05:41

Nope. It's sort of nice in that you don't have to exit your car. It sort of sucks as getting gas often takes a lot longer as you have to wait for the gas station attendant. Then when you're done, you have to wait for them to come back and remove the gas hose.

Imipolex G · 2013-04-15 00:12:38

I think I would dislike that.

Justice4243 · 2013-04-15 00:14:25

One adjusts after a bit. I prefer it now unless it means being stuck at the gas station longer than I think necessary.

Justice4243 · 2013-04-15 18:35:11

Justice4243 · 2013-04-15 18:39:08

I think I actually recognize pieces where bottom photo was taken (probably within 10 blocks of my work).

The Giant Clown is obviously terrorizing downtown.

Imipolex G · 2013-04-15 18:47:31

Somehow I always knew Vader was a bagpiper

Princess Alice · 2013-04-15 18:53:29

How come the 29th largest US city gets its own HH thread but the 15th largest doesn't

No fair

Imipolex G · 2013-04-15 18:55:56

The 15th-largest is apparently so boring I don't even know what it is

Princess Alice · 2013-04-15 18:58:14

But Imi! How could we possibly be boring when we have...um...football?

Really I think OSU is this city's only defining feature.

Imipolex G · 2013-04-15 18:58:41

football

the national waste of time

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-04-15 20:14:25

Why waste time with football when we can waste time with video gaymez? :D

Imipolex G · 2013-04-15 20:21:34

there are also football video games

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-04-15 20:46:08

For double the insipidness? :D

Justice4243 · 2013-05-02 01:43:38

Outside a Vietnamese Restaurant in downtown Portland.

Don't I know it

They play for five seconds then they stop for three minutes

Why is this popular

There's MMA now, it just cuts to the chase :P

Beholder · 2013-05-02 11:20:17

I do hope I'll get to see the weird stuff

Justice4243 · 2013-05-02 12:34:39

If you come back, we should take you to the Hawthorne district. It's pretty much guaranteed to be weird.

Some one offered to sell me pot there, once.

That's actually not a bad concept. Bikes can be a bitch to carry.

Justice4243 · 2013-05-05 01:26:01

A park in the middle of downtown Portland.

Imipolex G · 2013-05-05 01:28:13

what is that person doing

Justice4243 · 2013-05-05 01:29:21

Cos-playing a Homestuck character...

with a grappling hook...

Imipolex G · 2013-05-05 01:33:07

and those two guys in the background don't seem particularly bothered

Justice4243 · 2013-05-05 01:43:48

Well, presumably they live here, so grappling-hook throwing teens are simply a different type of weird than what we usually see.

Justice4243 · 2013-07-16 12:42:06

Celestia chained to a sidewalk about a mile away from work. This is off one of the trendier streets of town.

Imipolex G · 2013-07-16 12:51:41

photos not working

Justice4243 · 2013-07-16 13:02:12

Hrm, they work for me even when I refresh and check a second browser, but not my phone.

Let me see what I can do.

Imipolex G · 2013-07-16 13:30:28

error 404

Justice4243 · 2013-07-16 14:13:19

They're on flickr now. Apparently Dropbox is not great for photo hot-linking.

Imipolex G · 2013-07-16 14:19:58

I can see them now.

Apparently someone likes the pony bondage. As if we didn't know that already.
