 One assumes you mean the new Portland Oregon not old Portland Maine.

 (Is it too much to expect OSM'ers of all people to realize there are more
 than one Portland USA? I've rather given up on normals and non-geo-geek
 geeks, but mappers ...)

Pfft ... host it in Franklin, then it could be in any one of 17 states -
GA, ID, IN, IA, KY, LA, MA, MN, MO, NE, NH, OH, PA, TN, TX, VA, or WI!
Springfield comes in at #5 in the popular city names, if my frantic
grepping of the TIGER database is correct.

cheers,

Thanks for clarifying that, Bill. Yes, it is Portland, Ore. After a
year in the US, I know where most of the 50 states are, but I am still
learning about the various Portlands, Springfields, Manchesters etc.
Please bear with me as I assimilate.

Thanks
Martijn

Springfield is on the radar for SOTM US 2013. The first massively
distributed SOTM.
