Keep Portland Weird
"Keep Portland Weird" is a popular slogan that appears on bumper stickers, signs, and public buildings throughout Portland, Oregon and its surrounding metro area. It originated from the "Keep Austin Weird" slogan and was originally intended to promote local businesses, though it has since evolved into an all-encompassing slogan that secondarily promotes individuality, expressionism, local art, as well as atypical lifestyle choices and leisure activities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Keep Portland Weird )〕 The slogan frequently inspires articles and debate that attempt to quantify the exact level to which Portland is considered weird, unusual or eccentric.
The slogan has been called the unofficial motto of Portland, as well as the informal mantra of the city's residents.
==History==
The slogan was created with the intention of supporting local businesses and small business owners.〔 It was based on the Keep Austin Weird organization and slogan in Austin, Texas, and was brought to Portland in 2003 by Music Millennium owner Terry Currier after he learned of the movement in Austin. Currier, whom ''The Oregonian'' called "the father of Portland's weird movement"〔 trademarked the phrase "Keep Portland Weird" in 2007 and printed the first bumper stickers, selling more than 10,000 by the end of the year.〔 As of 2011, more than 18,000 bumper stickers with the slogan are said to exist, according to accounts from local media, as well as a painting on the side of a building by VooDoo Doughnut in a high foot-traffic area of Old Town.
