64. Portland has a real "community" feel

Thu Feb 9, 2012, 01:27 AM

Feb 2012

It's actually small enough that I continue to meet up with people who know other people between different groups I hang with. It has a very connected feel.

The music and art communities are tight. We have lots of blues and jazz musicians who moved here from New Orleans after Katrina.

We love gardening in our Mediterranenan climate. And if you're looking for progressive, Portland's itsville.
