Review of Eugene, Oregon


Civility, Courtesy Quality
Star Rating - 4/11/2015
Civility and courtesy are everyday occurrences; I once had a woman follow me for blocks in her car before I finally pulled over to see what was going on. I had left my house keys in the car trunk keyhole and she didn't want me to lose them. Countless other examples: people don't honk their horns, drivers and bikers are polite, kids and youth in general are pleasantly responsive to spontaneous conversation and have "good manners," the scenery is beautiful, farm produce is first rate and with easy access, people readily smile. I got the firm impression this is not religious based, but people are nice just because it's the right thing to do. Obviously, I am a transplant!

Good to hear, as I didn't get that in Portland at all. People didn't smile or look up at you. Depressing. Hard after moving from So CA.
