I went to Portland this past weekend. I was really blown away at how cool the PDX area is. There seems to a good infrastructure setup for musicians, as far as venues to perform at and a supportive local scene. From the outside Portland appears to be a sleepy little town, but once your inside you'll discovery there are a bunch of little communities bursting with activity located all throughout the city. Cool neighborhoods with chill caffes, good food, and nice people.
There are a lot of hippes, a lot of tweakers, and an army of hipsters scatered throughout the city. Geared bikes still out number fixies for now, but hipster conditioning is strong, so give it a year.
The city seems bike friendly with bike lanes going almost everywhere.
The rain seems like it is kind of a bummer, but I guess after living there you habituate to it.
I could write all day about Portland, but you should just go there and check it out. I think I am gonna go back there in May for a much longer visit. It's a dope town.
Here are some pictures I took while I was there | |

Looks like you packed a lot into your stay -- but there's plenty more -- when you come back, we should have a PDX em411'er takeover of a local spot or something. I still haven't met any em411'ers in person yet.

nice! Every time I think about moving, I return to the same conclusions about this awesome town.
And yeah, I think you did more in a couple days than I've done in my entire 34 years here!

I moved to PDX about a year and a half ago, and I think I'm going to die here. The perfect city to set my roots and grow, and have fun while doing it. Glad you had a good time here ...
