May I tell you how envious I am? Good, because I am GREEN with envy!  biggrin.gif

Sneakers and I have long wanted to live near the coast where you can breath in the summer and not fry your lungs from heat and smog. We visited Oregon a few times and liked it. These past few months -- actually almost a year now -- we have talked about moving to Oregon.

Sneakers is presently doing his homework on the net, checking weather, taxes, weather, restaurants, weather, population, weather, housing costs, weather, movie theaters, weather, transportation, weather, medical availability, and weather.

We are presently just up the road from you and it would have been nice to have met before you moved ... but maybe we will wind up near you in Oregon and meet at the local coffee shop. smile.gif

Have fun packing and moving.

OK Tom, here is the skinny on the computer store. It is now called the mac store. I have purchased my last two Macs from them and have always received exclellent contacts and followups.

Had a co-worker some ten years ago move up that way.
Said he'd be back after the summer.
Haven't seen or heard of him since. biggrin.gif

Good luck in your move to Oregon....I lived in Central Oregon for a year and really miss the northwest. I came in the back door though, from AZ, but I'd moved from CA to AZ....The first thing I did after moving in was go to the DMV to get those "foreign" plates off my car....trish

Well, welcome.gif to "my" corner of the world, MM, but prepare yourself. . .Has anybody mentioned the "beauty" of the ice storms?   laugh.gif Don't worry though, you probably won't have to deal with them more than 2 or 3 times a year.  And get ready to spend some time under a sun lamp, to keep the "rain wrinkles" from getting too bad! Other than those 2 drawbacks, you're gonna love it!

Mama, I remembered a couple of other Portland Goodies...

Kornblatt's on NW 23rd is a New York Jewish deli that was mysteriously transported to Portland by UFO back in the '60s.  Rather than going to the trouble and expense of getting everything back to the Big Apple, Kornblatt's just stayed put, which is a good thing for all of us.

I swear that some of the wait people must commute everyday from the Brooklyn to Kornblatt's.  One time I asked a waiter for advice about some Portland attractions, so he called for the patrons' attention and solcited suggestions from the locals.  That sort of thing never happens in a Dennys.

On a nice day the small tables on the sidewalk are great for people-watching, but since the sidewalks are narrow you are really in the midst of the street life...

NW 23rd is part Sausalito, part Carmel, part any other trendy town you can think of, for better or worse.  Fortunately, there is still enough diversity and characters to give the street life. How long that lasts is anybody's guess, as real estate continues to go up in Northwest.  So Get It While You Can.  I mean the experience, not real estate.

Also on NW 23rd is a GREAT store called Music Millenium http://www.musicmillennium.com/  Zillions of recordings (maybe every box set every released...) and the place sponsors free shows by musicians right in the store.  A lot of folks putting on concerts in Portland stop by at MM.  The best (and basically only) seats are those in the little "living room" right in front of the stage, which is maybe a foot high.
