From the Portland area - two of my favorites...

the late, great Mel Blanc - voice of Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, Yosemite Sam, Foghorn Leghorn, Elmer Fudd, etc....

Matt Groening - the creator of The Simpsons.

A little bit of Portland/Simpson trivia. Our streets in the northwest grid of town are from the early days of the city and are alphabetical. They include Ankeny, Burnside, Couch, Davis, Everett, Flanders, Glisan, Hoyt, Johnson, Kearny, Lovejoy, Marshall, Northrup, Overton, Pettygrove, Quimby, Raliegh, Savier, Thurmon and Vaughn. (hope I got that right - did it from memory)

Simpson fans, recognize a few of the character names from the above list?
