I just accepted a job in Oregon and am moving out there when I graduate in May. Has anyone lived there or have any insight on the place?
Here is what I know so far:
-No sales tax
-It's illegal to pump your own gas
-Pot is decriminalized
-Women are strongly encouraged not to shave anything :fatty:
-I will be required to scoff at Californians
What else should I know?
TIA
-
That all your friends and those you love back in Kansas hate you.
Good riddance.

what part of oregon?

Oregon seems pretty elite. Like, prolly second tier state elite behind the truly elites. There are 5 tiers total so second tier is very respectable.

Most places there seem to be very small time

I know a couple of dirty smelly hippies that live in Oregon. They seem to feel very at home there. They sure don't smell very elite or act very elite when they stay at your house.
P.S. Talk to me if you need a dope hook up. I think one of them is a farmer now. I'm sure that's a hard thing to come by there.

Curious to see these tiers...I think Oregon maybe high third tier.

Florida, Oklahoma, and Colorado, Mississippi, and Virginia, those are what seem to be in my future due to girlfriends elite job... rank these for me? I am not sure what tier they would be in

You have to pay premium to get the full list. But, I can tell dobbie that he has two members of the top tier in his list!

I only know about portland and im not an expert. One of my close friends lives there and ive spent a few days there.
Portland is very liberal, they are really into bicycles, microbrew beer, being green. It has a good music scene, there is fun stuff to do like hit up the bar/arcade ground kontrol or the giant book store powells. The biggest negative in my book is the gloomy weather, also it could be more diverse but overall i liked portland a lot.
-
yeah. oregon is easily second tier. portland, astoria, goonies, wineries, skiing, ocean, outdoorsy stuff, waterfalls, hot springs, etc.

Stayed in a treehouse in Oregon. :cool:

Nice place, very scenic / laid-back. Definitely the best of the non-LA west coast. Good friends who lived there found pay to be very low and the cost of living to be fairly high (growth boundaries in their city exploded housing prices). Just passed a fairly hefty tax on businesses and folks who actually make any money, not sure how that'll play out in poor economic times.

You should know that there is no Fake Patty's Day in Oregon, Huge Upside. This will be very beneficial for you come this time next year.

Friend of mine is interning at Microsoft this summer, you can go visit a fellow emaw'r up in Washington
-
Well, clearly I was wrong about Oregon's third tierness. I have been convinced.
-
That all your friends and those you love back in Kansas hate you.
Good riddance.
Dlew, I don't care how drunk you were when you agreed to pak out there with me. Deal's a deal.
-
what part of oregon?
South-central. Klamath Falls. I'll be a ways away from the whole Portland scene, but i'll be close to California, so that's pretty cool I guess.
-
You'll be in the rednecky part of the state, so you should fit in just fine. Also in the rain shadow so it's basically an outdoor paradise. If things work out and California goes broke, you may end up in the State of Jefferson. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_Jefferson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_Jefferson)

I'm always all :users: :excited: :eek: about regional succession attempts. Aren't there some counties in SW Kansas that have tried this?

WTF are you going to do in Klamath Falls? That place makes MHK look like Manhattan, NY. It's Unabomber country up there.

This is exactly like Lewis and Clark.

imo Oregon is top 5 states to live in, easily. Any place that as incredible mountains, close access to even more incredible mountains (canada), beach, top notch beer (Rogue, etc.), and bikes, you win. Only downsides is possibility for long travel. Portland has a decent airport, but I would put it on the 2nd tier or 3rd tier of best airport cities. However, since it is on the coast things are better than the midwest.

Saying Oregon has access to Canadian Mountains is like saying my house in Omaha has a boat dock on Lake Michigan. The other stuff is pretty legit though.

in ski terms, a 10 hour drive to one the largest ski mountains on earth is minimal. so yes. close access. also 5 hours to Vancouver from Portland.

kansas=#1 state then :dunno:
We are right in the middle easy access to everything.

that would be true if that was the most important factor. Also pretty limited on where you can go within 8-10 hours.

You can get mountains and Chicago. You could probably almost hit the gulf coast. Pretty elite to have all that within an easy drive.

Now that I'm not super poor I'm never driving any further than OKC and I've actually strongly considered flying there and making one of you d00ds pick me up at the airport.
