Review of Portland, Oregon


Depressing Portland
Star Rating - 4/22/2008
Portland is one of the most depressing places I have ever lived. It is raining all the time, about 9 months per year. Most of the time is spent indoors. You can't get a job unless you're related to someone or a socialist. The people here think their so smart, but no one knows how to get on or off the freeway. Also, these are some of the least friendly people, try talking to someone in line at a store they will look at you like you're a serial killer or something.

I totally agree about the job market--it's just people selling each other lattes. How most people get by there, I have no idea.
