My thoughts on the portland area:

Dude, Devil's Point has "Stripparaoke" on Sunday nights. Yes, it's exactly what you think it is.

They set up a mic and shit on stage and you belt out 80s hair metal ballads while chicks strip on stage with you 8).


FWIW, there are like a dozen other clubs just like Devil's Point.


When are you moving out here?

Within the year. I applied for a couple of jobs at OHSU yesterday.

Those all may be true but, it's still better.

Btw.... Sounder>Timbers ;)

Portland - all good cultural attributes + 1/2Mil people = Seattle.

Yes, Sounders are definitely the better team. But it's Portland's first year in MLS.

What sort of jobs did you apply for?

I'm actually up at OHSU right now haha.

Even the recycle bins are bigger than the garbage bins in Portland. :D

I lived in Austin not too long ago and sold my house there. I've been in Dallas, San Antonio and yeah Houston, I've been all over TX and it's nothing like Oregon/PDX.

I will take rain over extreme heat anyday. And yeah people in Oregon generally are friendlier and more easy going. I think you will notice that drivers are nicer too.

In Austin, there is a road besides an elementary school and the speed limit is 55 I think and not even a highway. Lots of aggressive drivers out there.

I used to sell and deliver micro beer all over the NW and Portland was hands down THE COOLEST delivery day of the week. Aware/considerate drivers, minimal traffic issues, mellow store personnel, laid back store owners, and fucking awesome places to stop for lunch along the way. I have discovered since then that PDX e30 peeps just so happen to be really cool as well.

Portland is known for the strip clubs... not many places from the sounds of it that you can get a lap dance from a completely naked lady and enjoy a beer at the same place. Went to Vegas once and would have figured it would have been close to the same, but if you want to drink anything other than soda you only get to see tits. Lame.

Portland: highest per capita of Strip Clubs and Churches..

My kinda city.

[djjerme]

..used to be one fo the highest churches per capita. Still is in my neighborhood (NoPo..)

[StereoInstaller1]

First, not highest per capita, simply the highest number of strip clubs in any city in the world, period.

Second, per capita, Springfield has PDX beat.

NFC about churches. I had more "recruiters" hit me up while I lived in PDX than everywhere else put together.
