The Most Well-Read Cities in America

The Most Well-Read Cities in America

No Pdx ... I knew we'd never be in top ten -- after all, I've lived in Berkeley -- but thought we'd be in top twenty. Of course, CofC makes you think we're number one, part of the standard hype in any city. Now that I think about it, I saw another (or maybe the same) list recently and we were like 23. The reality of Pdx is quite different from its image via Portlandia if you include the ENTIRE city. This can be said about most cities, I expect. The image-makers have a very narrow focus that seldom includes the sensibilities of what used to be called "the working class" (when we had one).
