Isn’t it? The rumor is the at least one of the men who laid out Portland was drunk at the time. Give that the town streets meet at an angle, one wonders.

Sounds like your typical structural engineer. Nah. It’s just men. Some of the best designs were hatched during cocktail hour. Most engineering firms I worked for though would always have casual Fridays. We would either start drinking around noon. Sometimes we’d get beer for evening shifts. I used to work around a lot of draftsman holding a beer from time to time. Worked for an architect that used to love his vino.
