@enobacon Portlander here. Definitely not Portland, Oregon. I think this photo was taken during the Woolly Wonderland Yarn Bomb Festival that happens every summer in Portland, UK.
I do not know where it was taken. However, I note the OP @enobacon found (on Threads) is in the PDX region; possibly not the photographer and possibly reposted in error.
@Amgine@sarahc people do park on the left here fairly often, but it's not actually legal. The UK makes sense though IDK why it would need to be a mixup of Portlands vs posting photo as joke. Yarn-bombing has been done here too.
