The number one thing i love about portland is the water quality. The tap water is like Poland Spring bottled water. Portland is one of those cities where it has a big city feel in that there is lots of stuff to do and visit but there isnt much for crime. I feel completely comfortable leaving a car unlocked etc without anything happening to it, dispite that its a busling city. From portland you can drive 20-30 minutes to a great swimming/beach spot whether its a lake or ocean. It has many museums/historic buildings, camping/ hiking locations malls/shopping plazas and generally has lots to do if your open minded. WIthin a few hours is also some great skiing/snowboarding places also. However i never got into them. The people are great and tend to be friendly overall.
