From the "Hard travelin'" file.

The Chinuk examines the travails of the "upper-middle crust in town that think of themselves as The Real And Struggling Portlanders."

It's tough out there. Heck, we're down to domestic brie and box wine here at Upper Left World Headquarters, but we've always been a bit short on upper=middle crust pretensions around here. The Chinuk's right, though - PBR's the good stuff and whining is unseemly. He's talking about Portland filtered throught the Oregonian, but every town's got these folks.
