Oh, and Washington doesn't? :p
We're better than Oregon!
pfft... Seattle is only nice if you enjoy 2 hour one-way commutes and 75F highs in early August. :p

I really like the rain. Seriously. I would take a very densly clouded, dark, pouring-down-shower day over a cloudless sky ANY DAY.

I've lived in the Pac NW my whole life. To me, the rain is just the price we pay for the absolutely beautiful summers we have here in Oregon. Otherwise, I'm not a big fan of dark skies and cold rain.

But in Seattle and most of the Puget Sound area, they get all the rain without the summer. :)

That's why, Oregon > Washington

Preach on!

I'm not sure I'd go that far... But I can definitely say that bright sunny days suck.

ashanti: i agree my comments were a bit ignorant, i appologize. we can't be rational all the time right? half of my girlfriends family is hispanic and i get along with all of them great, so i honestly have no problem with one culture in itself, just i'll say this instead,

Phoenix sucks! there we go! i want to find one person to disagree and have a good case to support such.

my main problem will be adjusting to the rain everyone tells me about, i went and visited portland, but it was only for 3 days, 2 spent inside and 1 spent going to the coast, then to salem to pickup thier kids and home, so i didn't really get to see many sites, but it was pretty. was cool to go tubing in the snow and skiing one day and goto the coast and hit the ocean the next (like i said i'm from michigan, though it was a bit cold for me too..).

Your comments gave me the wrong impression then.

Actually, I love Phoenix. Well, Scottsdale and Paradise Valley at least.

by the way, you keep typing my name wrong.

shanti, sorry my bad lol. scottsdale and paradise valley are both the rich sides of `phoenix` though, and are technically not phoenix, phoenix itself is quite small, but in southern phoenix it's pretty bad, detroit was friendlier.

Yeah, South Central sucks. But then again, every city has it's crappy sections (i.e. North Portland).

I lived in NW Phoenix when I was going to school and I had a blast. There is ALWAYS something to do in the Phoenix area.

I used to live in Corvallis, Oregon.

Very liberal college town, great place for mountain biking.

Dude, Corvallis is conservative. I'm going to school here right now.

Then again, I grew up in Eugene, so....

Corvallis is conservative relative to Eugene, yet liberal compared to other places.

Eugene is WAY liberal.

Marx is conservative relative to Eugene. Man, that place is full of hippies. :D Great town to hang out in, though.
