Re: Where Do You Live
Even though Portland is the 3rd most expensive place in the nation to live, I am a "gentrificator" who lives in the Last affordable area of Portland, Where tweekers still shamble down the streets glancing nervously behind them. NASCAR and Joe Camel clothing is the norm. Smoke shops spring up and go out of business overnight, and teenagers put stupid mufflers on their Hondas and call it a sportscar! It is changing though. We now have 2 Starbucks, a world class Fencing Studio taught by and ex-Legionaire, and a Safeway with a sushi bar!
I live in a 1924 Craftsman Bungalow that we bought for $135,000 3 years ago. I would love to go to neighborhood meetings but there are too many grouchy old timers there, verbally abusing anyone who speaks.
I noticed Ed Kolis lives near something called "Mount Healthy" ....just sounds funny that's all.
