For the life of me I can't understand why a friend of mine who was orginally from NYC had not desire to live in Portland when offerened to chance to move with her job. Now I could understand had she still lived in Los Angeles, but she was in Fresno and her position was elimated, and a job offer with the same company in Portland.
Perhaps had she seen these beautiful photos this would have changed her mind.

Also this makes me want to check this city out. I'm actually trying to figure out where to go for a vacation this year thats closer to home, so who knows.
