No city has a greater reputation for being "weird" than Oregon's biggest city, which is just another way of saying that people feel free to express themselves here.

The stories and places detailed within rarely get mentioned in most travel books or advertised--but they should grab your interest immediately.

Learn of gwomes and zoobombers. Crimpers and Setziol Doors. Horse rings and Zymoglyphs. Mermaids and Monkey Puzzle Trees.

With this offbeat guide, find the authentic and uncompromising uniqueness that defines Portland.
