Why I Love My City: Carrie Brownstein on Portland
Musician, writer, and co-creator of Portlandia Carrie Brownstein talks about what makes her city special
Five years after the break-up of Sleater-Kinney, Carrie Brownstein has found a new creative outlet in her role on IFC's Portlandia (as well as joining a new band, Wild Flag). Deeply inspired and formed by her time in the City of Roses, she, along with co-star Fred Armisen, attempt to capture the unique spirit of what Portland is through delightfully bizarre sketch comedy.
