It\u2019s so beautiful, the people are so henny\u2014my husband [Mark Peacock] can attest. He loves it. We\u2019ve been talking about Portland a lot since I was there in October 2023. That last time, we walked all over the place. We ate on the waterfront downtown and walked back to State Theatre, which was kind of a good stroll! Portland is physically so gorg. I can\u2019t think of any places that look like it\u2014the physical beauty is so stunning, the art studios, brick streets, the people I met at restaurants.
