Am I in the wrong city?

I spotted this on Maggie’s journal, but clearly the test doesn’t notice that I’ve moved.

Your Score: PORTLAND!

You scored 28% Style, 24% Climate, and 64% Culture!

You are Portland, Oregon! Portland, the largest city in Oregon and seat of Multnomah County, is located in the northwest part of the state on the Willamette River. Portland has a diverse economy with a broad base of manufacturing, distribution, wholesale and retail trade, regional government, and business services. Major manufacturing industries include machinery, electronics, metals, transportation equipment, and lumber and wood products. Technology is a thriving part of Portland’s economy, with over 1,700 high-tech companies located in the metropolitan area. Tourism is also important to Portland’s economy, drawing more than 7 million visitors annually.

You are a nicely cultured individual, appreciating a good play, book, movie, or fine dining. You also appreciate some diversity, lest things get too boring. Not one for sitting and relaxing for long periods at a time nor dressing up the nines, you take interest in getting outside and being out in nature, enjoying the cool, crisp air…maybe even playing a sport or taking a hike. Portland is a good place to be, my friend.

    Hey, it gave me San Francisco! How did it know?

    I was Portland, as well, which is certainly tempting.

    Maybe the longer you’re in New York the more New York you’ll become :).

    Maybe you CAN go home again!

    I came up Portland as well. Does this thing have any other cities? I chose the mid-atlantic as my favorite area. Hmm, did the Portland tourism board set this thing up?

    Well, here I am, an ex pat NYer IN Portland, and loving it, and it assigned me to Baltimore…

    Hmmm. I am somehow San Francisco. Clearly it didn’t pay attention to the part where the fog chills me to the bone. I suspect my predilection for Asian foods tipped the balance.

    I was assigned Hartford, Conn. Is that possible? Mark Twain said nice things about the place.

    I got Baltimore, too. I think I answered a fair number of questions in a Portland sort of way, but I was unenthusiastic about rain and am not much of an outdoors kind of guy. Was completely stymied by some of the questions (e.g., what would you buy on a shopping spree in a clothing store), so maybe I should have left those blank instead of just picking one out of a hat.
