I have no beef with Californians coming up as long as they use their turn signals and don't dodge from lane to lane in order to gain just ONE spot in traffic.

Pearl District is a little pricey for our taste, our 900sqft 1room apartment rents for 2300$/mo which is about what they go for there. We're looking to get away from that.
I HATE people that dont use there blinkers! In my area no one does and it bugs the hell out of me.

Also, for attractons, especially family friendly, there is always OMSI and the Portland Zoo, or even the Portland Japanese Garden. The list goes on; Powells books, chinese gardens, pearl district, etc. And the about 3 hrs north, there's beautiful Seattle where there is everything to do. Basically Portland, times 10.
Hope that helps!

We will get you off of tourist crap and into much better places to drink and hang. The amount of great little places in PDX is staggering and in all my travels in the US and abroad Portland is an impressive little city. However, few of those places exist in Beaverton as far as I can tell.
COBB Surgeline has a nice First Thursday meet, but this conflicts with the artsy first Thursday down town once that gets going again (you can do both, I have). Lots to do, esp. starting this time of year.
There is a large range of folks on here in terms of what they do with their cars, jobs, knowledge base, etc., which always makes for interesting threads.
So welcome, and I hope to see you around...esp. if you actually track your car.

Great to hear! The wife and I love to track and autoX. Cant wait to check out what the area has to offer.
