Portland, Oregon\u00a0could be in the land\u00a0of \u00a0OZ.\u00a0\u00a0On a wall\"IMG_0287\"<\/a>\"IMG_0289\"<\/a>\"IMG_0273\"<\/a>in Fred Meyer Supermarket these words are quoted from the London Times: \u00a0Portland is a bracing mixture, vital without being precious, laid-back without being starry-eyed.

Remember the wonderful Oz characters: Jack Pumpkinhead, \u00a0a jack-o’lantern, and his live Sawhorse, Tick-Tock, the Nome King and of course the Cowardly Lion, Tin Woodman and the Scarecrow, Dorothy, Toto, the Wizard and Ozma of Oz? They’re unique and sometimes weird but always appealing. Their modern day counterparts live in Portland. Here’s a photo of Toto who’s known as Indie in Portland. She’s going on a bike ride with Ozma of Oz.<\/div>\n
Benson Bubblers and Roundabouts are unique Portland features.<\/div>\n
