I'm truly a Northwest girl, and it's just been crazy to see the interest in Portland skyrocketing lately! So here are some things to dislike about Portland: 1. We (Oregon) now have the 2nd highest unemployment in the US, and the unemployed educated hipsters keep on coming. The Wall Street Journal had a really interesting article about it a few weeks ago... http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124242099361525009.html 2. It rains a lot! I'm selfish! ;) I live in Portland, and love it. I’m truly a Northwest girl, and it’s just been crazy to see the interest in Portland skyrocketing lately!

I'm with Tim, your article made me start begging MY Tim (AKA the hubby) to let us move to Portland. As I just stopped begging to move home to So Cal (because we're here now) it might be a while before he gives in. Thanks for all the cool sights though, I'll have to take the coastal train up there for a weekend sometime. -Kango Suz Freelance writer for <a href="http://www.kango.com" rel="nofollow">Kango.com</a> you can see her blog at <a href="http://www.startgo.com" rel="nofollow">www.startgo.com</a> Anna,

This post just upped my curiosity another notch. Solid writing, Anna, thanks! Portland has been on my radar screen for a while – yesterday I even browsed Craigslist a bit looking for rooms.
