Nope, it's Portland. Check it: http://www.digital-web.com/portland/[^] Pasadena is a Johnny-Come-Lately pretender to the name. Never mind that Pasadena was founded with the building of the Mission in 1771 and Portland wasn't really founded until 1845. :)

I guess not everyone. Check out that guy who thinks Pasadena is the Rose City! :)

Although I've never heard of Portland being called the "Rose City" I don't doubt that it is and Pasadena is not. I was just yanking his chain, but apparently he didn't notice the :rolleyes:.

Back a while, there was a problem with a bug called a medfly, so they quarantined San Francisco. Signs were put up outside the city which said "No fruits or nuts allowed beyond this point." I always figured that was why there seemed to be such large concentration of fruits and nuts in the bay area. 'til next we type... HAVE FUN!! -- Jesse
