I'm a newcomer to Portland. I came here from Florida, in an effort to live in a place and a climate that was completely different than what I was used to. I plan on making a living as a writer or a teacher here. My interests include movies, music, books, sports, food & drink, and spending copious amounts of time on the Internet.
What do you love about Portland?
Everything. The weather. The people. The beer. The books. I love that I can take public transportation anywhere I want to go. I love that I can walk or jog outside at any time of day and feel comfortable. I love that I can go to a thousand different places for a good beer and good food. I love that I can read in the park.
My music:
Spans mostly what could be described as art rock, alternative rock, progressive rock, and all-around hippie music. Favorites include, but are certainly not limited to: Frank Zappa, Supertramp, Phish, moe., Yonder Mountain, King Crimson, Flogging Molly, The Mars Volta, Tool, etc.
What's your favorite Portland neighborhood and why?
St. Johns as it's the only one I really know right now

Welcome, Jason. Well, you couldn't have found a place more different (but in a good way) than Florida. (My family lives in florida, and my husband used to live there--but he did what you did--up and moved).
If you can survive your first long wet winter, you should be fine. :-) Have you been to the writer's Dojo in St Johns yet?

And of course, have you been to Powell's bookstore yet?
