I'm a huge Portland fan. I love to hang out at street fairs or the Saturday market to watch people, esp. the young ones who seem to have been teleported from the 1960s. Amy Dearest and Okie Doke want Mrs. O & me to retire and move their. I'm not sure I could rock the counterculture vibe 24/7/365. The Rose City is great in small doses, as a counterbalance to the Far Right cultural influence in most of North Idaho. Why am I telling you all this? The New York Times has published an article about the town where young people go to retire, including: "The city has nearly all the perks that economists suggest lead to a high quality of life — coastlines, mountains, mild winters and summers, restaurants, cultural institutions and clean air. ... Portland also has qualities that are less tangible but still likely to attract young people these days, like a politically open culture that supports gay rights and the legalization of marijuana — in addition to the right of way for unicyclists or the ability to marry in a 24/7 doughnut shop."
