Well, they used to be a “major league” city, back when the NBA was a major league. But now that co-ed high school Tiddlywinks competitions outdraw the NBA Finals, Portland has fallen back into the classification of “micro-urban dump”.
Portland Oregon metro area is just under 3M. Regardless of current events, Portland will remain a major city because of the Columbia river (nation’s single largest wheat export gateway), port, rail, and air. Once free elections, law, and order are reestablished, they will bounce back quickly...IMO.
I'm thinking Ted Wheeler.
Is Portland a "major American city", though? I know they're in the news a lot, but it's not a huge city.

Fair point. I wouldn't personally consider it major...

But it is high profile and many know Wheeler's a stupid tool.
But why would they take out their biggest fan?
He was being told to let them run wild and he's gotten cold feet and might eat their handlers out.
Edit: rat! I meant to say rat! Imma leave that typo though ?
