Portland MAX Map Anagrammed
Portland MAX Map Anagrammed

Following a craze for anagram transit maps on Boing Boing, I did one for Portland. It took all day for find anagrams for each station and then post them into the map! You really need to see it full sized to see all the effort.

So you did it anyway. Nice!
This is as funny as hell, and the anagrammatic commentary is, as seems usual for anagrams, subjectively, oddly, coincidentally appropriate: I'm still rolling on the floor at the translation of Gresham and Hillsboro as Has Germ and Sob Hill, OR, respectively.
It's ironic that the Eeek! Bare Convert station should find itself in No Bare Vet
And, considering the endless rethinking that's going on over in Allen Town, having the Rose Quarter served by the Retro Square and Anteater Restorers Quit stations is ever fitting.
Brilliant.
