I'm glad I didn't go there because it warmed up and, as Nadya says, we only get a few months for summer clothes.<br /> Nadya, I'm stealing your "Fireball!" line - I love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-portlandians-i-wish-i-could-move-here#post-689747 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 02:43:06 +0000 Kari 689747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I dream about moving to Portland and working at Powell's.</p> <p>However, as an unabashed bookaholic, I'm sure my paycheck would be GONE. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-portlandians-i-wish-i-could-move-here#post-689382 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 20:33:28 +0000 Nadya 689382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in a mad dash to wear my summer only items as many times as I can in the next four to six weeks before Fall is here with a vengeance!

My previous BF, who's now your AK neighbor, was born and raised in Corvallis, OR. Similar indeed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-portlandians-i-wish-i-could-move-here#post-688391 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 00:04:01 +0000 catgirl 688391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like here. I loved visiting Portland (books! swap meets! coffee! hipsters!) but the weather was way too familiar. Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-portlandians-i-wish-i-could-move-here#post-688350 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 23:09:07 +0000 Jonesy 688350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was just in Portland--I love it and would LOVE to live there!

Need to visit Portland - I'm the East Coaster who is currently smitten with Seattle and dying to see the rest of the PNW.</p> <p>Funny - have a colleague in CA who can't watch "Portlandia" beause it "hits a little too close to home."</p> <p>The bookstore? LOLOLOLOL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-portlandians-i-wish-i-could-move-here#post-688297 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 22:19:40 +0000 Mo 688297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! Fern, mine calls it 'the evil orb' - no kidding! Too funny. I lived in OR for most of a year 1996 and loved it. The BF almost moved there instead of Tahoe all those years back. Glad he didn't or we'd have never met.</p> <p>Janet, it's okay to just put a bird on it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-portlandians-i-wish-i-could-move-here#post-688272 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 22:02:35 +0000 fern 688272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love living in Portland, but I might need to winter in Austin.<br /> Mo, my redhead DH calls the sun "the bright thing" and carefully hides from it for the 3 or 4 months we can see it. He loves the weather here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-portlandians-i-wish-i-could-move-here#post-688223 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 21:17:31 +0000 Ana 688223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd love to winter in Austin and summer in Seattle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-portlandians-i-wish-i-could-move-here#post-688109 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 20:01:54 +0000 Jem 688109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to move there too, I'd be alot closer to my parents if I moved there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-portlandians-i-wish-i-could-move-here#post-688085 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 19:42:58 +0000 annagybe 688085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah I used to live there. It's actually on average a bit warmer than Seattle in the summer. Too bad the job market in my field is incredibly competitive there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-portlandians-i-wish-i-could-move-here#post-688082 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 19:42:08 +0000 Janet 688082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved it there, too! Good shopping and food, gorgeous gardens, and the weather agrees with me also.</p> <p>Be sure to get a Voodoo Donut. ;-)</p> <p>Mo, now I've got "Put a bird on it!" stuck in my head. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-portlandians-i-wish-i-could-move-here#post-688066 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 19:29:05 +0000 rae 688066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, now I want to visit Portland! I hear it is a good place to open a business, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-portlandians-i-wish-i-could-move-here#post-688001 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 18:27:25 +0000 Mo 688001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hee hee. My BF keeps swearing we will move to the PNW next because he hates the sun (he's a redhead). Ever seen the Portlandia show on IFC? The episode where they go to LA and come out of the car cringing under the bright sun exclaiming "why is it not covered in clouds?!?" is a favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-portlandians-i-wish-i-could-move-here#post-687989 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 18:14:30 +0000 ironkurtin 687989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On a visit and I LOVE THE WEATHER OMG. I could wear my boots all year round! I'm wearing a A SWEATER and NOT SWEATING!</p> <p>Maybe I could winter in Austin and summer in Portland... </p>
