- TriviaAccording to Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein, the Women and Women First Bookstore scenes are actually shot at the very same non-profit bookstore that inspired the characters. The store, called In Other Words, was filmed mostly as-is, without any additional set dressing. In Other Words eventually ended their relationship with Portlandia for two stated reasons: the production's fees to close the store for filming didn't make up for sales lost on a given day, and the characters of Toni and Candace were seen by the staff as transphobic.

Featured review
from the eyes of a native
"Portlandia" is a parody of/homage to the City of Roses, depicting scenarios that look like typical Portland occurrences. "Saturday Night Live" cast member Fred Armisen and singer Carrie Brownstein play various characters that truly represent the city, with occasional guest stars. This is not a sitcom in the common sense. It's filmed on location, and the humor is sort of like the kind in Christopher Guest's movies. "Portlandia" isn't a masterpiece of a show, but it's a very fun look at my hometown. I can affirm that it's a pretty accurate portrayal. And a very funny one. This show probably won't be for everyone, but if you like quirky stuff then you'll probably enjoy it.
