    Another Reason I Live In Oregon

    The trees started budding in late January, and now flowers are beginning to show here and there. And you guys are still dealing with dirty snow back east, right?

    Nya-nya-nya-nya-nya-nya!!!

      More "eat your heart out stuff." I took these shots around Portland this afternoon, while you easterners have roofs caving in, dirty snow piled up all over the place, etc.:

          Yeah? Remember this when we have to buy our drinking water from the stores because there is none is the reservoirs. This years drought is gonna suck.

          Remind me to travel a lot this summer.

            I thought Oregonians lived on bottled water as it is!

              That pic of the pretty park block: You should have turned around and took the pic behind you of the Justice Center and all the inmates they are releasing because of the budget cuts.

                          how do people in other states perceive Oregonians? Is there a reference like Texas and "steers and queers"?

                            Yeah, but it's a false spring. About 3 weeks ago we had about 10 days in the mid-50s. That tricked all the buds.

                            Next week it's supposed to get cold again and kill everything off.

                              I had no idea we had more people from Oregon here?

                                      Oregon is a great state, very liberal, no sales tax, great if you love the outdoors.

                                      Our economy is bad right now, but hopefully it will fix itself within 1-2 years.

                                      We should do a get together soon.

                                      When we used to run a large bbs / isp in the 90's, Rose City Online, we had parties and stuff all the time, it was a blast!

                                          I have always wanted to visit Oregon. I applied to a uni there and got in but ended up in Boston. My dad went out there for a week when I was a teenager and kept telling me I would love it. He is usually right when it comes to matching me with locations.

                                                I went through a phase where I was reading a lot of really awesome hip fiction coming out of Portland and I have this recurring fantasy about spending a month there guzzling coffee and writing the great American novel.

                                                  I had no idea we had more people from Oregon here?
                                                  I'm a newbie to the area as far as living. Family lives nearby, so I've become somewhat familiar with the area over the years.

                                                          Seems to me that there is a disproportionate number of people in the industry from Portland relative to its percentage of the US population. I imagine its a smaller city then Charlotte, NC or Jacksonville, FL...yet you don't see those cities well represented on GFY...

                                                            I have heard Portland has more sex industry per capita than any other north american city... Strip clubs (and other "dancers"), sex shops, porn, etc.

                                                              The trees started budding in late January, and now flowers are beginning to show here and there. And you guys are still dealing with dirty snow back east, right?

                                                              Is this typical for this time of the year or a result of the jetstream pattern this year? I seem to remember that parts of the West would be warmer because of this. A few years ago we had spring flowers in Jan and Feb due to el nino.

                                                              Oregon is a beautiful state from what I remember - mountains with snowcaps and a gorgeous coastline, not to mention vast forests.
