We came to Portland to escape Chicago for a few days. It is raining, but the weather is extremely mild compared to the snow storm we left behind. I had never been to Portland before; it is a very calming place. It seems very quiet. Other differences from Chicago are: motorists don't try to kill you as you cross the street and people are nice to each other in public.
Portland has a crazy coffee culture. Apparently, people move here to become famous barristas. We went to Stump Town Coffee yesterday and the guy making coffee knew everyone's name and whatever their "usual" was. It's as if Portland is enjoying a popularity like Seattle did during the "grunge" years; very Singles-style, including plaid flannel shirts, except everyone here has babies.
