- It's 50 degrees and raining in NYC and I'm like a little brat stomping my feet and saying, "But I don't wanna wear a winter coat in May!" 1 day ago
For a moment there I thought this was in reference to the bizarre story of Thomas Montgomery:

Portland, Dorset and Portland, Ontario, right?
Yes, I’m very annoyed at the founders of my city for being so unoriginal. They used a coin toss to decide whether to name the city after Portland (Maine) or Boston.
I used to go to summer camp near Portland (Maine). On at least one occassion, some campers flew to Oregon by mistake.
Reminds me of my college roomie. He had a line on a great job in Dover. He went to Delaware for the interview; unfortunately the company was in New jersey.
Ayuh, been theyah.
This doesn’t bode well for his other girlfriend in Springfield.
Hey, there’s a Portland, CT, too.
And since only one of them is hosting first round games in the NCAA tournament this year he didn’t even have his fallback plan available…
There are about as many Portlands as there are Springfields, it seems.
As a native of the Greater Portland (Maine) Area, this does my heart proud. New England’s very own Red-Headed Stepchild. Well, at least we’re better than Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
At least she didn’t tell him to meet her in “Lakewood”. There’s about one of those for every state.
and he can’t ask her which Portland she lives in ’cause that’d mean he wasn’t paying attention when she surely told him at least once in conversation before
There’s also a Dover in Ohio…
Ahhh, star-crossed lovers between Portland and the other Portland.
I was born in Burlington–which narrows it down to around 23 states. And 3 provinces.
Cez,
No joke–I got off a plane in Portland, Oregon from New Jersey some years back, only to see a bunch of airline officials huddled around a crying child–she had been put on the plane to visit her grandparents in Portland, Maine.
Is it wrong that I found this funny?

I have a friend whose sister drove to Newark, Delaware when she meant to be driving to Newark, New Jersey. Heck, they’re not even pronounced the same way.
