Portland, Oregon - A great place to live!

My plans to move to Portland by the end of 2004 unfortunately fell through for personal reasons completely unrelated to the city.

Fortunately I've been blessed with some amazing friends in & around the city and, as such, it has pretty much become like a second home to me.

With the famous Phil Kaiser!
On my late Sept. 2004 visit to Portland I finally got the opportunity to meet Phil Kaiser [phildeni]. If you never heard, he's the one who drove down to L.A. to meet up with a visiting VT member from Europe. The whole story was featured in USA Today.

Phil and I went for a walk with 3 dogs and had a great discussion!
The western edge of Greater Portland abruptly changes from suburban to rural farmland. This beautiful photo was taken in that region.

 My daughter lives in Tigard and I visit frequently and I've never yet eaten at Pizza Caboose. Next time. Thanks expecially for all your restaurant suggestions.

 I see you hit all four restaurants in Portland :-) Uh oh, is my invitation revoked?

 I was hoping you would find some pictures of some Portland Bridges... They have more bridges than anyone I know.
