I think the show Portlandia made a huge difference in terms of putting Portland on the national map, in a mainstream sense, similar to how grunge, Frasier and Sleepless In Seattle put Seattle in the national consciousness - so to speak.

Definitely, only we're the butt of a joke. I've been trying to think of it in the context of "there is no such thing as bad publicity", but I had to cringe when I was in Europe last month. There were way fewer "it's between SF and Seattle" moments this time around -- at the same time almost everyone I ran into mentioned or asked about Portlandia.
