Richard In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love; they had five hundred years of democracy and peace and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. Orson Welles

P-Town is just another name that the locals use. I figured everybody new The Rose City. ;) Kyosa Jamie Nordmeyer - Cho Dan Portland, Oregon, USA

[rondalescott]

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. :)

[rondalescott]

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