Travel Tips

portland is i think one of the greatest towns i've lived in. I'm from LA moved there from Tokyo and lived in Hong Kong. I love portland, it's a little big town. it's small enough you don't feel like your being over run and it's big enough to provide everything you need. It's one of the prettiest too. the down town is. I love the neihborhood feeling you get when you live here. it's really a community. The people here are mostly open minded, and very civicly bound.

Yes - we like Portland OR but we prefer Salem OR
I used to live in Eugene, but I've been to Portland a number of times, and it's a beautiful city for a city it's size. In most places around town, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Mt Hood, Oregon's highest peak. Portland's crime rate is among the lowest in the country for a city it's size. It's a growing city as well. It's population is around 560,000 up from 360,000 in the 1980s. The metro population is about 2.3 million which compares to cities like Pittsburgh PA 2.2 million Cincinnati 2.0 million and Denver 2.2 million. The Rose Parade is awesome . It's a huge parade through downtown Portland, with floats that are made of roses. Portland has an incredible park system, with many bike paths that span through miles of the city. The Winter climate can be quite cold and rainy, but rarely snowy. The Summer climate is beautiful , mostly low 80's and tolerable humidity. Although there are the occasional days that reach into the mid 90's.
It's located in the of the Columbia Valley, at the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia Rivers. It's primary suburbs are Gresham, Beaverton, Tigard , Hillsboro, and Vancouver WA which is right across the Columbia River from Portland. Vancouver WA would be Portland's largest suburb with a population of about 150,000. Gresham is 2nd with a population near 100,000 and Beaverton is 3rd, with a population near 75,000. In all Portland is one of America's cleanest and most environmentally conscience cities. It's a great place to visit, and according to those who live there, a great place to live as well.
I love Portland. I will be moving to San Diego soon but I will miss P-Town immensely! It's a beautiful city and we have lots of trees, good food, good beer, nice people, beautiful rose gardens and we have a small town atmosphere for being the 22nd largest American city. It's a pretty nifty place. Especially in the summer. Oregonians never take their sunshine for granted so you will see people living life to the fullest in the summer here.
Born and raised here
