I like Portland, OR
 

So much greenery and the people I've run into so far have been really friendly.

Spent the night in Tigard, did some shopping at Lake Oswego area and now at my first appt at Portland Adventist Hospital. The weather is perfect (low 60s) and the freeways are clean! The vistas in the SF Bay Area are prettier but Portland is mellow and clean. Looking forward to working in OR. Tonight I drive down to Eugene.

I like it too. Came very close to buying a home there.

Portland is awesome.

I thought you were right of center? Should be a warzone for you!

have lived here all my life-
love it-

I would move there in a heartbeat....

if i could find a job...

and get past the weather...

So true! Obama stickers everywhere.

Going there in July, rented a house out on Long Beach for a week. Haven't been in years.

Hey! When you're next here, or this week if you're around, let's get a beer.

I usually go to VeloCult in Hollywood. Lots of interesting vintage bikes to look at.

I'm tied up tonight but should be around Wed and Thu this week, and my workday ends early, mid-afternoon.

The PDX group gets together 2nd Thur of the month, location varies, see thread over in Pac NW forum, I have not been to a monthly in a long time but could be dragged, that should be next week IF they are keeping on schedule.

Portland is really awesome...


For about four months a year.

You couldn't have picked a better week to come to Portland! Gorgeous weather.

Little known factoid....

My Mom was born in Portland. Grew up in Seattle, though.

Great lady - they must be doing something right out there....

Still with us - turned 90 in February.

I enjoyed Portland very much when I went there on business last year. I'll stop in again most likely this summer and bring an employee or two as a nice getaway for them. We'll probably have a Voodoo donut after a nice meal at Prime Bar.

I love Music Millennium

It is a fun place. Weather is F'n PERFECT today. Enjoy!

Sent you a PM JYL

This is the only day of the year that it doesn't rain here. People are only nice to you so they can use you. Terrible place to live, everyone is a vampire at night and a bad driver during the day. Stay away while you can.

This thread has me thinking...

Us PDX pelicans should have a get together, maybe at one of the highbrow places like Kennedy School or Edgefield.
