    We stayed at an AirBnb in Brooklyn and I really liked it. My fiancé seemed to take to the East Burnside area (I think because she saw a lot of families...which scares me a bit.)
     
  2. Been applying for jobs in Portland (From Buffalo) just to see what happens. Given the opportunity, I think I'd make the move. Sounds like an awesome place.

    What do you consider a major university?

    ranked at least top 100 for the grad program i'm looking at. preferably top 50 actually with solid faculty and research but that has less to do with it being a major university and more to do with it being a competitive one

    Always wanted to visit Portland. It's definitely on the list and somewhere I'd considering moving once I've finished up my PhD program. My boyfriend and I would love to end up in the PNW.
     
  8. Was at on Abbot Kinney in Venice the other day and saw that they now have both Blue Star and Salt & Straw. Needless to say, I had a sugar overload

    I just went to the Salt & Straw there a few weeks ago, just as good as up north. Best ice cream ever, seriously

    Be kind; everyone is on their own journey.

    Got to see the Warriors get Pummeled by the Blazers following the All Star Break...by 3 boys are all Curry Obsessed Warriors fans, but walked out of Moda with a bunch of Blazers garb and were thrilled nonetheless to have seen their first NBA game in Rip City. I'd have it no other way. My dad grew up in Tigard, Grandparents in Salem (buried in Corvallis) and I've spent at least 1 family vacation on the coast for my entire life. I love Idaho, but Oregon is the ONLY other state I could imagine calling home.

    I need to go into the city more.

    I live right across the street from Clackamas Town Center and work in Beaverton. After my commute, I'm either too tired, stressed, or just lazy to do anything after work or on my days off. Doesn't help I really haven't made any friends yet, but that's entirely my fault lol.

    I went to the Tulip Festival out in Woodburn today and my dad had to stop at like 5 stores in various towns along the way just to look for Star Wars action figures. Like we had to go back through Clackamas just so he could go to Target and Toys R Us. Also I had to drive and I'd only ever really driven through rural towns that I know extremely well so... I was kind of a flop today. If any of y'all encountered me on the road, my b.

    My gf and I are going to be passing through Portland for a day or two during a loop around the northwest. I'm seeing that waffle place on jasons list and it's becoming a priority.

    I was in Portland for one day in October. I really wish I could've spent some more time there, and I'm looking forward to heading back sometime.

    omg woodburn... my family thought it would be a great idea to go to woodburn the night before black friday, and we were stuck in traffic for hours before deciding to turn back. totally underestimated woodburn shopping.
