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! :)

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:.
