Review of Portland, Oregon


Portland is a great place to live for about 3 year
Star Rating - 5/16/2007
Portland is a great place to live for about 3 years. That is about how long the rain and lackadaisical nature of the people can fool you into thinking it is some sort of promise land. If you want to have an easy life, hang out, and have no real ambition this might be the place. If you want to actually go somewhere in life you'll find the economy sucks and there are a bunch of over educated pseudo hippies vying for a limited number of low paying jobs. Would I ever move back, maybe when I retire.
