    That’s funny. It sounded like pawrt-luh nd to me.

    Matches the pronunciation of Maine lobstah bow-at. Frazz knows the key to making new surroundings more tolerable is to recognize the kid’s old haunts as a shared place.

    Do you suppose that’s taught in teacher school?

    The only Portland I know is Portland, CE. That’s the abbreviation for ‘cement’.

    He’s a good man. Seems the new girl has found a buddy.

    Frazz certainly knows how to connect with all types of kids. We need more people like that, not less.

    Well, if she gets really homesick, she can have her parent(s) take her over to Portland, MI; can’t be too far from where Mallett is based, and it’s right along I-96. Pretty little town.

    Everybody knows the only REAL Portland is the one on the Left Coast. It’s where we Oregonians send all the elitist, liberal jerks to get them out of our way so we can get things done.

    We stopped at a little red dirt store in the Blue Ridge and the girl behind the counter asked y’all from Canada (deep accent here) In my best radio announcer voice why yes, how can you tell?

    Y’all got accent.

    Two things she probably doesn’t miss are the junkies and homeless in Old Town Chinatown. https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/9bzkdd/portlands-iconic-old-town-is-overflowing-with-human-shit

    Had a friend from Saco. The first syllable is somewhere between sock & sack. I can neither write nor pronounce that vowel.

    You could try missing Springfield. It’s easier to fix, since there’s probably one within a hundred miles of wherever you happen to be.

    No way! Our Portland is better, as is the Pacific coast!

    Must have also gone “down Maine” when you were there.

    So, not the Portland with Darth Vader riding a unicycle and playing the bagpipes. The square Portland.
