I went to college in an extremely progressive town in upstate ny in the late 90s. Being openly gay in America was not really a thing yet. But it was in that community. Every April was Gaypril and there was all kinds of interesting stuff going on.
I love me a good weird town celebration. Obviously Portland has a few but the only one I can think of off the top of my head is the Ladd's 500, where people ride bicycles around basically a large roundabout for 500 laps. Fairly mundane but then everyone dresses up and are weird in general.
Love the winter jackets in these pictures 🤣

I love an excuse to get weird. I think a lot about Portland’s frog costumes protesters earlier this year, too.
Gawd I love Duluth SO MUCH
It’s pretty delightful!
