3. Here's a link for LadyL (& any others who are curious) about the use of "PDX" as "shorthand" for "Portland."

"PDX, LAX, SRQ, and CYS: The airport codes for Portland, Oregon; Los Angeles, California; Sarasota, Florida; and Cheyenne, Wyoming, respectively, do all have one thing in common. The last letter of each of these cities' three-letter designations is just filler letters
