Another thing that I was noticing the other day is we don't have any area in Portland with a collection of corporate bars/clubs/restaurants. Planet Hollywood, ESPN Zone, Hard Rock Cafe, etc. would just not fit in here. I think that says a lot about our culture.

No, we just have Starbucks, Coffee People and any other number of coffee places every block It's still a nice city though. I like it here after 3 years

yeah, but to counter that, you also have really good coffee shops like stumptown. I really miss the coffee in portland...
it's been my favorite place to live so far. not sure why i left. oh yeah, i was really fucking broke. one bad thing about portland is your will power is destroyed by the desire to constantly booze it with the amount of bars and fun shit to do at bars with really neat-o freaks and then forgetting to get up in the morning to go to work hence loosing your job hence being super broke. look out for that monster.
i just moved here in august.
it's the most perfect place i've ever lived. so far.
it's lillegail to pump your own gas here, and that still freaks me out to this day... im not used to it. almost eveyrone recycles, people have a good attitude.
the trees are amazing and the leaves are beautiful colours. you are close to mountains and water, and deser.
i love it.

Portland has a meth problem, which is either awesome or terrible, depending on a few different things, including how hungover you are when it gets offered to you at 8 am and whether or not the tweaker actually manages to break into your first story apartment before you break his legs with a baseball bat.
anyone who wants meth can get it anywhere though....
Revive! I will be arriving in Portland in 3 months. So, tell me good things about it !? Anyone move there from the east coast (Philadelphia area) who can tell of their experience??
Well, I suppose it depends on the people doing the naked. Naked bike ride every summer = awesome. Naked guy walking backward down the street pissing = not awesome.
