Portland: best city evar?

Jun 05, 2007 13:07

Alright so I'm heading to the coast today, so I figured while I'm here I should make a final report on this City of Bridges.  Portland kicks ass. I love it here. I kind of dont want to leave.  My mind might just be dazzled by coming in right in the beginning of summer, so everything is blooming and the weather is warm and everyone is happy. Or maybe its just still riding high on the excitment of coming into a new place, being on my own, meeting new people and looking at stuff with the saucer plate eyes of a tourist. Maybe its because im staying at Hostels, and meeting tons of interesting folk from all around th' globe.

But people Ive talked to, who are from here, agree. There is something about this town. It feels very cohesive. Fun to explore but exceedingly easy to get around, thanks to free public transit and the shortest blocks in the country.  Maybe its because of the easygoing vibe put off by all the hippies and hipsters this town attracts with is progressive policies and multitudes of organic food stores.  I cant put my finger on it but this is definitely going to be a town that i'll miss, absolutely a town i'll return to.
