Welcome to YOUR Portland Neighborhood Community
Car? What car?
Hello Portland, my beloved Portland....
You...#1 biking city in the nation, you...#1 free-thinking, go-local, go-real city in the nation.... Tell me...how do you commute?
How are you dealing with these off-the-charts gas prices? Driving less? Taking on some deep, deep Big Lebowski-like nihilism and just driving anyway?
Not me. And I beg you to join me. Whaddya say?

In the past two weeks, I have driven my car a grand total of three times. Today I rode my bike home from work in the rain--I know, nothing special, biking in the rain in Portland, but it was a first for me. It actually felt good, those cool droplets on my face. AND I saved $10.50 on not paying for a parking space at work in Downtown Portland. AND I saved by not paying for gasoline (my tank, at last check, the empty light was on...so I just parked it and my goal is to not drive it again as long as possible because I don't want to spend $40-50 bucks on a tank of gas--it's SO depressing!). AND, I was all proud of myself for doing my body and the environment a little tiny bit of good. Hey, it's no great accomplishment, I know. But it felt pretty good anyway.

Hey! Nice job riding in. I keep thinking I should try it from out here in Tigard. A long trek, but perhaps a Friday?

Trimet is a savior when it comes to these high gas prices. I have really been noticing a huge difference in the number of riders lately. Lots of folks are converging on local transit since the prices have increased ever so closer to $4.

Hey Lindsay,
Check out Montavilla, Kenton and Brooklyn for transportation, art community and relative affordability.
B Hubbard,
Thanks so much for replying. I have heard nothing but good things about Portland, which is getting me more and more excited about moving everyday. We live in a city currently, but it is very spread out....spread out enough to where you ca…
So, I live in Milwaukee, WI on, what is known as, the east side. It's close to downtown-though we aren't necessarily a city known for an active downtown scene. The east side is a lot of college kids and bars, a couple coffee shops, some pretty go…
