I've lived in Ashland, OR for 13 years, and I love it. The winters are the mildest I've ever experienced. We get 196 sunny days per year.
Lithia Park near downtown Ashland is INCREDIBLE. It's a great place to hike, picnic, or bring the kids to play in the playground. There is also nearby hiking at Grizzly Peak, Pilot Rock, Mount Ashland, and more.
The Ashland Food Cooperative has a great selection of organic produce. Ashland is a very easy city to bicycle in, as there are bike paths.
I feel very safe in Ashland, day or night. There isn't much crime here to speak of. I only know of one murder in 13 years.
The Green Show provides free live music several nights a week in the summer months. What great fun! There are also wonderful plays at the Oregon Shakespeare Theater. I encourage you to visit. The downtown area is beautiful. It feels as though you are stepping back into time, into small town America.
