By now, most of us have seen this picture that was flying around the internet:

I called my elder in to look at the picture, and she laughed, as most do.
I then asked her, "Where was this picture taken?"
She paused. "Wait! What's that license plate? Oregon?"
"Yes, that's an Oregon license plate on a Prius."
"And the hipster on the left with the three buttons on his knit cap?"
"...has a hand-print ink-stain at the bottom of his white cotton shirt."
She was picking up speed now: "And that's a nail salon next to a jewelry store!"
She looked at me as we prepared our mutual high-five. We simultaneously shouted:
"PORTLAND!"
