And yes, it's very white. We do have lots of Asians too.
Were u born and raised? Would you say your residence there have allowed you to know the city inside and out? Should I PM you?
I knwo portland is kinda divided by quadrants along the river. The closer to the river, the more espensive, like pearl and all. I read about the job thing.
Most micro-breweries per capita too, if I'm not mistaken. Strippers, beer, sports and the outdoors is what we love out hereOriginally Posted by shogun
Interesting. I love fully nude stripclubs and hiking. Didn't know Portland had so many stripclubs.Originally Posted by airblaster503
And plus we have the highest number of strip clubs per capita in the US, and it is fully nude with alcohol, if that's your thing.
The best part about it though is the outdoors. You are about an hour from the mountains and a hour and a half to the coast. If you enjoy outdoor sports, hiking, or just enjoying some amazing sights Portland is a great place to live.
he lives out in the sticks... waaaayyy deep from portland.. i was born and raised in portland... lived in north and se portland, mainly SE though... moved to vancouver and started a family.. portland schools suck ( now )...Originally Posted by ATGD7154xBBxMZ

lots of asian places to eat in S.E... stay at a hotel in downtown, go to fubon and buy whatever you need to cook.. aint no way you gonna get a NYC feel..Originally Posted by RunningFishy
Well, I'm planning to go visit there in winter and wanted to know how it is, and where to book a hotel? I want something centralized. I figured, there might actually be snow there? I would probably have to drive still right?
But I'm actually more of a close to china/asian town - cook your own type thing, as opposed to eating out constantly. Good food is good food, but when you actually live there, it's another thing in itself, so I'm looking at that aspect. I would enjoy going to the market to buy groceries and do my own. I would enjoy that.
I'm still doing research, but planning for a trip. I would like to watch the trailblazers too, but not sure how things are there.

Thanks for the posts. I'll continue to digest them, and post questions. If it were my first trip and I wanted to book somewhere close to a dense location like chinatown and inner city, is this possible? Or is portland really not that type of city? I keep hearing how its like Seattle, and if so, I guess it won't give me that NYC feel. -.-
tasty and son's have better biscuits.... not a fan of hockey puck biscuits, i like it moist and flakey.. matter of fact, just go eat and tasty and son..Originally Posted by d e beatup

well chinatown moved out of downtown (where it's now called "old town") to an area near the suburbs. the area they moved to now is renowned for high prostitution, and imo doesn't really have the "feel" of a chinatown you'd see in other states/cities.Originally Posted by RunningFishy
Wait, so there aren't actually any china town, like in San Fran? LOL I keep reading how the chinatown in portland doesn't have markets, but mostly homeless and druggies? LOLZ
For living, I would like to be near an open market type of thing, kinda like close to a chinatown, but not 'exactly' near it. I like dense, but I know it won't be NYC type dense.
In terms of visiting there, I would like to watch the Trailblazers, and do the typical tourist stuff. What do you folks mean by the yellow fever being like white? Is everyone too political or something?
