It May Not Be Gotham City…

Posted on November 7, 2009 by mego

Remember this post? Well it turns out Sam Adams wasn’t the first one to prove that Portland mayors are just as colorful as Portland citizens… and maybe a little more corrupt. Connie McCready’s and Bud Clark’s are my favorites. Man, … Continue reading →
