Hello, From one side of the country in a public building in Portland, Maine on the Eastcoast to the city of Portland on the Westcoast for a different kind of importance. Portland, Maine had an earlier DMV situation and on the Westcoast, there are similar line ups at all of the DMV buildings in every city. In my most recent pandemic So Cal DMV adventure, at 5:00 a.m. there were two people standing in line at the local DMV office, a young 20 something kid and me. But, by 5:45 a.m. the line up was now all around the sidewalk and past several businesses lining the parking lot. 5:45 a.m.??? But, when I was given a notice, there was no option other than show up early and take the tests. By 8:35,I was out of the door heading home. When the DMV calls, a rush to the office is demanding. (note: later, "seniors" were given the option of registering online, so as NOT to jam up the local offices...) But, in Portland Oregon, a demand of a different kind struck us as laughable. “Keep Portland Weird,” is a sticker and slogan that gives others a good view of the residents of the Columbia Riverfront city. Jnaki We had experienced the same business at a different time and it is as good as anywhere in the USA. To “Keep Portland Weird,” it was called “Voodoo Doughnuts.”
