You've seen the bumper sticker, "Keep Portland Weird," now you can delve into the history of Portland's unique weirdness. My friend, J.D. Chandler, a man of mystery (who will soon have a book published retelling some of Portland's grizzliest grisliest murders) has started a blog for the purpose of chronicling Portland's past deviations from the status quo.
The blog is named, simply WEIRD PORTLAND, found at this link.
I am honored to have been asked to add a post--so, blowhard that I am, I pontificated on one of my pet peeves, something that has become an unnecessary mystery, Shanghai Dock. I guarantee it will no longer be a mystery to the reader who finishes the post, so this is a spoiler alert.
I also took the opportunity to share a parodical (I hope that is the right word) map of the infamous and non-existent "Shanghai Tunnels" with the readers of that post. For the purpose of propagation (in hopes that ridicule will somewhat stem the flood of hogwash) I am republishing the map here. I encourage anyone who wishes to republish it to do so with my blessing.

Murders aren't grizzly-- they're grisly.
