John Couch

John Heard Couch was an early settler of Portland. He claimed the land just north of the area claimed by Asa Lovejoy and Francis Pettygrove, which is now Old Town Chinatown and the Pearl District.
Couch first arrived in Oregon in 1839 as a merchant sailor, hired by Cushing & Cushing to sell their wares in Oregon City. He'd traveled from the east coast in the Maryland up to Oregon City in order to do this, but met with no success, having been forced out of the market by the Hudson Bay Company. He eventually traveled back to the Sandwich Islands (now Hawaii), where he was forced to sell the Maryland in order to travel home. Cushing & Cushing decided to try again, and sent him out in the Chenamus, a bark that he had overseen the construction of, and had named after a Chinook Indian chief he had met. On this second trip, he found that the Willamette River was difficult to navigate above the Clackamas and the Ross Island Bar, and determined that Portland was the "head of navigation". 
Both NW Couch Street and NE Couch Street are named after John Couch.

Keep Portland Weird

Portland is weird. And many Portlanders are proud enough of that fact to proclaim their hope for the persistence of such weirdness in bumper sticker, t-shirt, or even mural form. According to fawning members of the media, "Keep Portland Wierd" has become something of an "unofficial motto" for the city, and the phrase has spawned many copycats and parodies.
== Origin ==
The term was coined by Music Millennium owned Terry Currier in the early 2000s, as a marketing strategy to support local businesses. He set up a website, KeepPortlandWeird.com, to promote the term and sell bumper stickers (wholesale, not retail, in order to support local businesses).Keeping Portland weird, if unoriginal, Portland Tribune. June 11, 2009.
Currier got the idea from a friend in Austin, Texas, where "Keep Austin Weird" was used to resist an incursion by Borders Books & Music. So Austin, in fact, was the first to use the "Keep X Weird" slogan, and in the same way as Portland.Travel & leisure, Volume 38. 2007.
== Definition ==
By 'weird' it is referring to Portland's idiosyncrasies that separate it from traits of other Oregon cities. Thought to be different from other cities in the use. 
This is closely linked with the term Portlander, which is the term the locals would wish to be called. Another important factor is what is considered taboo in Portland.
Often considered an original view it is sadly common in other cities of the U.S. Most towns have a certain amount of city pride that extends into a view that it should remain similar to its past. This is comically proven in media such as Christian Landers book, Things White People Like. 
Other towns that share a similar identification as a haven for the eccentric and esoteric. Towns that are considered different from their parent state.

Artwork and historical artwork covers the walls, ceilings, and doors in a manner that has become common among McMenamin locations.

*Phone: Local- (503) 249-3983, Elsewhere- (888) 249-3983
==History==
The Kennedy School in Northeast Portland opened in 1915. At the time the elementary school's location was considered remote, with the end of the nearest streetcar line being three blocks away. The city line, in fact, was only eight blocks away at Northeast 42nd Ave. There was just 29 students in attendance the first year. 
The school took on other roles in the neighborhood as time went by, serving as a space for public meetings, polling place, Red Cross blood drawing center, paper and tin can drives, playground, and food-relief shelter. 
Due to declining enrollment and the aging of the building, school official closed Kennedy at the end of the 1974-75 school year. Through the efforts of neighbors, former students, past PTA presidents, and the Portland Development Commission the building was saved from demolition, though. This allowed the building to survive over the years and several proposals were made to revive the property. The McMenamin brothers made one such proposal and in the spring of 1997 they started their renovations with the opening day being in October of that year. http://www.mcmenamins.com/104-kennedy-school-history/ Kennedy School History | Accessed 6/19/14

Dear Protestors of Occupy Portland:
We are the 900 member public employee union who build and maintain the infrastructure of your City of Portland, including the roads upon which you march today, the wastewater treatment facilities for the public toilets you use, and the parks that you occupy. We support your efforts through our daily labor. More than that, the Executive Board of Laborers’ Local 483 stands in solidarity with the Occupy Together movement to confront the injustice of economic inequality, the scapegoating of working class people, the vilification of labor unions, the exploitation of the unemployed and underemployed, and the corporate takeover of the Americas and the world.
We know you are committed to this fight. We have watched what is unfolding on Wall Street in admiration of the protesters’ courage and in dismay of the apathetic and sometimes brutal response of those in power. We support your “re”-occupation but ask you not to greatly endanger your health and welfare. We need you to stand with us over the coming years. After your occupation is over, it is our deepest wish that you settle in a comfortable place — hopefully a warm, dry home with your friends or family. Your sacrifices won’t be so visible then but your work will be far from over. We ask you to stand up for democracy every single day at your workplaces. Organize with your rank-and-file co-workers no matter what their political beliefs or background. Form or join a union. If you don’t have a job, join us to demand a public works program with living wages and benefits for education, rebuilding of infrastructure, and public transit improvements. When Occupy Portland is over, we will still be standing with you.
Laborers’ Local 483 unites with Occupy Portland. You are the hope for the future.
In solidarity,
