Hey Ron
Portland is still gentle in the general sense, it's just that I live along SE 82nd avenue.
I don't know if it was as rough back in '66 as it is now, but for as long as I can remember it has been well known as an area of ill repute.
This was more an issue of a certain age/gender demographic than it is a location
It's been said that you should wear the kilt for yourself and nobody else and that's exactly what I do, despite the threatening behavior exhibited by some of the young punks on the block.
I refuse to allow the actions of others determine what clothing I wear.......For a group of late teen/early 20's guys, harassing someone does something to boost their low self confidence, it's so funny to see them when their bluff is called and they suddenly are only joking and just want to be friends.....
I suggest that anyone who encounters someone who has a disproportionate amount of anger towards your kilt, just tell them that if they don't like it, then come and get it.
I forget which clan has "hold fast" on their clan crest, but I think it fits perfectly
