Walking - also a form of transportation (and a really neglected one)
Why is this so unusual in this country? It goes even further than that - even walking 10 minutes is unusual here in suburban California. Our neighbors think we’re “walkers” because we sometimes walk from our home to downtown Mountain View. And that’s about a 15 to 20 minute walk. No big deal really …

Not the case in Portland. 15-20 minutes is a normal thing. But then of course, it’s Portland. Everyone here is different than everyone else in the entire country.
Bumper stickers here say, “Keep Portland Wierd”… and I’d say they don’t have too much to worry about.
