Review of Portland, Oregon


I would just like to say
Star Rating - 6/22/2011
Guess what? Some people ACTUALLY like rainy weather. Is that such a problem? People always say "you shouldn't move here because of all the clouds and rain". But some people WANT to move here because of it. Did that ever occur to you? And to all those who say it limits outdoor activities? Portland people are some of the most outdoor type people I know. The rain doesn't stop them, and come on, it's not like it's thunderstorming and down pouring, typically it's light rain and more cloudy than actual rain, which is nice when you're outdoors because it prevents you from being sunburnt. Don't call us dirty just because we're rugged by nature either. Another thing, if you think all Portland people think this and that they all purposefully think alike, I disagree. Being originally from Portland and now living in LA, so many of my old friends say how jealous they are that I live in a sunny climate. The sun I can stand, the heat I can't, therefore I can't wait to move back.
