    This is pretty funny. Someone made a video on Google maps to the Johnny Cash song, "I've Been Everywhere" with Johnny heads popping up all over the map every time a city is named in the song. Just click play on the link.

    Huge enclave in East Portland--over 100,000 refugees and immigrants from the former Soviet Union with most coming from Ukraine. There was a small wave in the 1890-1905 era, so there was a significant cultural foundation in Portland when the Soviet Union collapsed. There's a Russian language cable access channel, a Russian music radio station, and a Russian immersion school. No other state has a such high a percentage of Slavs/Russians. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has strained the community and the non-profits and governmental support agencies that work with the population. Even the radio station is very careful about how they broadcast the news.

    70% of Canada's hockey pucks are made there. Right at the point on the arrow.
