No Kwik-E-Mart for Portland

kwik-e-mart_crop.gifDieselboi at Metblogs and b!X are fired up this morning because Portland didn't get a Kwik-E-Mart ahead of the premiere of The Simpsons Movie later this month.

Matt Groening, where's the hometown love?

Adding insult to injury: You can go buy Squishees, Buzz Cola, and KrustyO's in Seattle, but not here:

The U.S. locations where a 7-Eleven store was transformed into a Kwik-E-Mart are New York City; Chicago; Dallas; Denver; Burbank, Calif.; Los Angeles; Henderson, Nev.; Orlando, Fla.; Mountain View, Calif.; Seattle; and Bladensburg, Md.
There's still a chance for Oregon to get in on The Simpsons fun. Springfield is using skateboarder Tony Hawk in its pitch to land the movie premiere.

USAToday just posted the videos from all 14 Springfields in the running. Go vote now!
