One Way In Which Oregon Is Different From California

3536.
Here's one from the Dept of Hometown Pride Dept, seen in a cold and wet shopping center parking lot sometime last week:


Even though the thought behind this is rather nuanced (and the graphic approach both simple and sophisticated), please ELO's "Down Home Town", please and thank you.

I got to know an antique dealer who moved up here from California. He complained about being shouted at, having people drive rudely around him etc. acting like "Californians". I was purchasing something and just looked outside and saw his car in front of the store. I told him "Get your license plate changed quickly and it will all stop." He did and it did. A guy I went to school with came to Grants Pass ten years ago from New Jersey. He broke down and dozens of people stopped to help or offer their cell phone. He said that he and his son were terrified at how nice everybody was. He has, in turn, become nice (he was Jersey Shore-ish before Jersey Shore ever aired) so I guess it is the Oregonian Effect.
