Is Portland the Ann Arbor of the Northwest?

The pilot for Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein's new comedy, Portlandia, makes it seem that way. Be sure to check out the sketch with couple trying to decide if a restaurant's chicken is sufficiently free range (@3:55).

  1. I tell people in Portland that Ann Arbor is a little Portland.

  2. In Portland, you miss out on Ann Arbor's lovely winters.

  3. The opening to this reminded me alot of Brooklyn and even certain slivers of Chicago. I guess there's a little Portlandia all over. I have to say though, I haven't really noticed much of this in AA yet (I am new here, however), at least not any more than I see in other college towns.

  4. The free range chicken skit really reminds me of Ann Arbor, or certain Ann Arborites.
