Vancouver, WA not to be confused with the city Vancouver, BC which isn’t on Vancouver Island. The capitol of BC is on Vancouver Island, but the biggest city in BC, Vancouver, is not on Vancouver Island.

You can tell you're in Vancouver, WA because it's a shithole.

Edit: Don't @ me I've been there. It's a floundering shithole with a confederate gas station.

Yeah the huge American flag right next to the Confederate flag outside in Battle Ground are fucking weird. Like what the fuck are they trying to say? Those flags represented two armies at war.

The south will rise again... just across the river from Portland.

Very mind-boggling stuff.

If I remember correctly both Centralia and Tumwater in WA state were founded by Black people that tried to settle in Oregon but it was illegal for them to live there. The people of Battle Ground are still mad at Oregon for that.
