The Helvetia Tavern is just like the name says in Helvetia. A short drive outside of Beaverton or Hillsboro. Known for great hamburgers and fries. It's a restaurant and bar. The bar is decorated with many baseball hats... and in the middle hangs a wooden sign. The text says "wer a chlei huselet het gang a chlei gelt, wer gang a chlei sufelet chunt lustig dur d'welt"
When I read that sign, I couldn't believe it. It is written in Swiss German dialect. Unbelievable, since the dialect language doesn't exist in a written manner. But then, I am Swiss, and Helvetia stands for Switzerland. It's a true Swiss quote, in the dialect of Berne:
"who loves staying home, always has a little spare money
who likes to drink a bit, will always go through life with fun"
