I need to get back up there. And Vancouver, too!<BR/><BR/>Go, Pacific NW!<BR/><BR/>LeahLeahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03587662940285887833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549907091994594204.post-47427680925836080452008-03-13T12:00:00.000-07:002008-03-13T12:00:00.000-07:00I love your assessment of Portland.

Portland embodies all of the things that I love about living in Seattle but more so. As you mentioned, the creative spirit of this city, the beauty, it remains truly authentic and true to its weirdness. Next time you are in town, check out "Clark and Lewis" a wonderful restaurant for lunch. I am glad you had a great trip! Maybe, you will visit Seattle sometime soon!coolhntrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09913113006533195416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549907091994594204.post-39118505749265280912008-03-13T11:35:00.000-07:002008-03-13T11:35:00.000-07:00You were in my neighborhood!

In the summer the Beverly Cleary statues turn into an amazing fountain that the kidlets love to play in! and we have thrown a zillion rocks in the water at Tanner Springs Park. Enjoy your time here.Mrs.Frenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15538695099376546483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549907091994594204.post-82901315882547825502008-03-13T08:49:00.000-07:002008-03-13T08:49:00.000-07:00Hi Kelly,I *so* hear you on the weather -- though ...Hi Kelly,<BR/><BR/>I *so* hear you on the weather -- though I have to say that both times I've been there (in Nov. and March) it rained for all of five minutes and was gorgeous the rest of the time.<BR/><BR/>I also understand that the job market is a bit tough in Portland. As a freelance writer, that doesn't affect me as much -- but it is a factor.<BR/><BR/>Oh well, good thing it's just an hour plane ride away!<BR/><BR/>LeahLeahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03587662940285887833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549907091994594204.post-2074604401191817942008-03-13T08:23:00.000-07:002008-03-13T08:23:00.000-07:00I love Portland and your posts about it make me wa...I love Portland and your posts about it make me want to run up there for a visit!<BR/><BR/>Two reasons I don't think I'd want to move there:<BR/><BR/>1. The grey skies and rain. I can barely take our Bay Area "winters" -- I'd be lost in Portland.<BR/><BR/>2. I think I'll get more out of it as a visitor/tourist. Once I live in a place, I tend to take everything for granted.<BR/><BR/>Of course, I cannot imagine ever taking Powell's for granted and wish that we had that locally just about once a week. ;)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the photos!kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07832228313612518377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549907091994594204.post-57064382424589147372008-03-13T06:51:00.000-07:002008-03-13T06:51:00.000-07:00Ah man, now I just want to move there even sooner!...Ah man, now I just want to move there even sooner!JanelleGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05721301548064675204noreply@blogger.com
