Moving to Portland, what can you tell me?
 

So I'm considering a move to Portland Oregon, maybe, not sure yet.. Who's got info on the city?

Tell me about some different parts of the town, cool bars, where I can get a crackwhore, 24hr breakfast joints, different neighborhoods, etc..

thanks :)

why move to portland? it's a very liberal town

I'm the one asking the questions here, not you :321GFY

bah!..ok whatever, i live here, jus wondering what your main reason was for moving here, bitch!:)

haha, it's cold here in Minnesota, and I like the ocean. :)

Ask Boneprone..he lives there

well, it rains a lot, you're only an hour from the ocean, and most homes have good heaters so you won't worry about being cold...

The rain is fine, I need a change most of all. I have friends up around those parts so I'll be able to visit again soon.

make sure you walk around down town portland, we have some crazy people down town.

I could live with 2 transexual fags:

Portland sucks.

The end.

sounds like a great place.

Yeah...If you like to smoke pot, hug trees, cook meth, drink coffee, and stick your nose in the air while doing it all.

I can't wait to get the fuck outta here next week.

where are you moving to?

Sounds like Minnesota.

Most of the East side is Methtown. Most of North Portland is gangland (though nothing compared to SoCal). Downtown is somewhat nice. Anwhere slightly south or west is good (Lake Oswego, Beaverton, Sylvan Hills).

I currently live about 10 miles south of downtown and like it. It can get rainy and cold, but nothing like MN - usually snow doesn't stick around for long in the valleys. Sometimes there will be 60+ rainy days in a row, but it's usually intermittent with sun breaks.

Anywhere near downtown is full of hippie-liberal types. There's lots of homeless urchin kids who beg for drug money too. It sucks because there's some cool stuff downtown, but you gotta put up with those scumbags ...

Excellent primer, thank you :)

I'm gonna relocate to Santa Monica, CA for 5 days then possibly Toronto for a week..THEN Maui the week after that.


Never said I was moving. I travel a lot to avoid this shithole of a town.

Sounds like paradise!

Why don't you just move? You've been complaining about Portland for ages.

Because I have yet to decide where I really want to live. :(


Holland is looking good these days.

Ah I had that same problem. Think I finally found my destination though. :)

South Africa?

Portland is great and AaronM lives here. enuf said

DONT everyone that I know moved from LA is coming back.It is a depressing town.I've been there.Anyway good luck to you.

Aren't U in the SE (near Sellwood)? I would agree with you there ...

Where's that, San Diego?

No, I live in San Diego now. Will be leaving in 15-18 months if everything works out right.

I lived in San Diego for a while and really liked it. Especially the weather.

I have lived in several cities, and I like to call Portland home, it is a nice place. if you make it in to town to visit , be sure to give me a call I would gladly show you some stuff...

do you like to live in town? or the suburbs?

Portland is great..

When you wanna hit some strip clubs up you'll wanna hit me up.

Also if anyone in the area wants to chill and hang and can get along with others hit me up. I try to get out once a week, and if you are into family activities like strip clubs and gambling you may want to come out and do family activities with my family. With the boneprone family.

Im heading out to play some poker on monday if anyone is intrested or plays poker let me know. Also I have a Friday Poker night every friday,at a descrete place every friday for some nice high stakes. Hit me up Porltand-Westside people anytime if ya wanna join us sometime at the clubs and bars around town as well..

Ill make it my treat.

I'm a city fan, not too big on the suburbs but never say never :)

I'll definintely hit you up when I make it out there to visit Joe, everything is still a big fat maybe right now.

Sounds like a blast, I try to get out of the house at least once a week too :winkwink:

hey BP, I will be back in town around the 10th of Dec. and would love to finally go out and hit a couple places together if you are down.:)

yeah, you will love Portland then, it has a nice downtown area,
including clubs, and restaraunts, good shopping, and a college , along to mention washington park is the second largest(central park NY city) and is located right down town...

plus veiws of two mountains including the Volcano Mt. St. Helens

I love Portland, but moved to SoCal 5 years ago to escape the constant rain and gloomy skies. If it wasn't for the weather I'd still be there. I miss it so much.

I've lived EVERY where in that town from NW, to downtown, to gangland NE, Meth central SE, Sellwood, Beaverton, Lake O, ect. ect. I've never had a problem in any area except NE (the gangs had gun battles every night). NW is awesome if you can afford it. Beaverton and Lake Owsego are nice suburbs to live in.

The girls party hard in Portland. Because of the rain they prefer "indoor sports". :) Plus there's a strip club on every corner!

Downtown Portland is an awesome town. Love the culture, and it's very pretty. Yes, there are street kids, but they're easy enough to deal with.

Oh, and something I totally miss down here in SoCal..... when you let someone in your lane in traffic they give you the wave. Damn I miss the wave.

what the hell is in portland?

What's up with that crazy volcano thing anyways, is it going to blow or is it still threatening?

Maybe I should wait until it settles :)

Stars makes for a nice family outing. :thumbsup

I miss living on the east side, used to be walking distance from the Acrop. :1orglaugh

have you tried Stars new club? it is on the eastside...
called safari, I am considering running that club, or another new one on the east side....
look for some eastside changes to come soon...

it's a cool place and home of the one of my favorite NBA team, the trail blazers.

i might be moving to portland as well

Portland itself sucks, but the small towns around it are pretty cool. Beavertown, Garden Grove, Banks, etc. Beautiful forests, lush vegetation, fairly mellow people...

Portland has got alot to offer, in two hours you can be kicking it at coast or hitting ski lifts on Mt. Hood. If you like outdoor shit its got it much to do. Winters suck for people who hate rain, but thats what makes it so GREEN!

Downtown , NW Pearl and SE dive bars is where to party!

Boneprone knows all the hot spots!

Acrop :glugglug

powell's is the best bookstore in the world. it's downtown portland.

portland, like most places, has positives and negatives. personally, i can't take the weather but it is awesome to be so close to both the beach and the mountains. if you like lush, beautiful forests, there are few places better.

hope you like it there! there are a lot of fun people in that area.

it's acool place man.
