I have a young friend coming to Bend for some academic research, who's never been to the Northwest. To orient her, I've compiled this list, in no particular order, of:
10 Things You Are Unlikely To See in the Northwest Versus the Northeast
- Artificial nails
- Umbrellas
- People smoking cigarettes on the sidewalk
- Stiletto heels
- Topsiders
- Seersucker
- Clothes with little embroidered whales on them
- Newstands
- Neckties
- Dunkin' Donuts
(Note I said "unlikely" so don't start sending me pictures, thanks.)
OK, local folk, what would you add?
