We could change the sign to read "Portland, Oregon"....but that would make us look a little bit stupid...the whole putting the city name in the skyline, so you know what city you are looking at...though, I guess one could say that about having it just say "Oregon" as well because it outlines the state of Oregon already.
I like the "Made in Oregon" because it has evolved and taken on a new meaning for the city and is sort of a slogan for all our local produced goods and our local mindedness. And again, when University of Oregon builds an actual campus, not just lease 3/4 a block, then I can see them making a big deal over what it says on the sign....is it so hard for the school to put their name on the building itself? Do they really need a sign to stroke their egos?
