When will we exhaust our supplies of Portland? Research suggests that Peak Portland may be just around the corner–the rate of discovery of new sources of Portland has slowly decreased to a mere trickle over the past several decades. In 2013, Portland consumption hit an all-time high, reaching 31 Portland mentions per person per month (31 PMPPPM). In comparison, the last major discovery of new Portland deposits was in 2011, on a premium cable channel somewhere north of ESPN 3.

Silly man. Increasing demand for Portland will lead to innovate new ways to extract more Portland out of existing supplies on both coasts.

According to Google Trends, Minneapolis needs better sports teams or bigger disasters to have any hope of catching up to Portland.
For a moment, I thought you were referring to Portland cement…
Isn’t there a new Kunstler book about this?
Shouldn’t we also be tracking our Netherlands mentions? After all, those are indicative of our nation’s dependence on foreign Portland…
For real though, we need a Europe moratorium on streets.mn
Nein!
Rather we need a moratorium on decrying progressive policies because “We’re not Europe.” So. Sick. Of. That.
“our nation’s dependence on foreign Portland”
I’m happy I didn’t mention this, as you phrased it way better than I would have.
Mpls should talk more about building a robust street car system. That would def increase the Portland references. Peter Wagenius can be the Jed Clampett of Portland discovery here in this here Twin Cities!
