Stump'd

A new series looking at some of the weird and wonderful publications available in Portland. This week: 20 pages of rapists, thieves and junkies.

Road-testing Portland’s favourite brekkie (contrary to popular opinion, it’s not meth). With bonus expert commentary.

Voting early and voting often from halfway across the planet.

I went to Boston! Home to many important historical American sites, like Harvard, Bunker Hill and the Cheers pub.

In went to New York! I ate a bunch of junk food! I didn’t see the Statue of Liberty, but I did see a dinosaur moose.

Are the streets here really paved with homeless people?

Ribs! Slaw! Beans! Hush Puppies! Corn bread! I road-test some Southern-style slow-smoked barbeque.

Arm-wrestling, pie-eating, fake legs, one-armed guitarists, Romanian gypsies and more…

In the first instalment of Project America, I road-test America’s favourite sandwich: the PB&J.

In which I go on a mission to experience first-hand all the quintessentially American pastimes I grew up watching on TV.
