yep, there was a coin flip,.. "OREGON CITY, Ore. — In 1845, Asa Lovejoy and Francis Pettygrove flipped a coin in their parlor. “Pettygrove was from Portland, Maine and Asa Lovejoy was from Boston, Massachusetts, so they both were betting on what to name Portland. Best two out of three. Portland won,” And with that, what was known as "the Clearing" became Portland, instead of Boston."

More New Orleans than the way I talk. New Orleans has some off the wall accents too. I told her I didn't have an accent. She did.
