The hardest one to remember is always Ash, so overshadowed by Burnside.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07722144249422639718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-835596563370939343.post-5834239315511847742008-05-24T12:16:00.000-07:002008-05-24T12:16:00.000-07:00I grew up here and have no idea the order of the n...I grew up here and have no idea the order of the non-numbered streets in downtown Portland.

It was one of my three favorite songs as a child--the other two being "Over the Rainbow" and "Up, Up and Away," all songs about getting out and finding something better elsewhere.<BR/><BR/>Some things never change.Marc Acitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05308790905794774874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-835596563370939343.post-20061561179217620892008-05-23T16:21:00.000-07:002008-05-23T16:21:00.000-07:00I never hear "Downtown" without being filled with ...I never hear "Downtown" without being filled with joy.

Things get a little better in the Northwest section (up- & over-town) with more alphabetical consistency, so I keep my focus there.<BR/><BR/>That video is causing me to reevaluate my thoughts on Petula! Nice voice, nice delivery. Where have all the classy singers gone?<BR/><BR/>Bonus: Keep looking at the YouTube options and you'll come across a nice German version as well.
