Austin and Portland also share the "Keep Austin/Portland Weird" slogan. Not sure who came up with it first, but they seem to be sister cities in a lot of ways. I've not spent too much time in Portland, but I know Austin pretty well. Awesome town in a lot of ways, but maybe Portland is better since you don't have to deal with 110ยบ in the summer.

Pretty sure I heard that Austin had the Weird campaign first, but some of Portland has moved on to keep Portland Beard (there are some really amazing beards in this town).
