I'm a west coast hobo. Born in L.A., lived in So. Calif until my teens, then in Oregon. I've lived in three corners of Oregon (Ashland, La Grande, Portland) and one in between spot (Eugene). So kind of like this state a lot...Also lived in England for a couple of years, Massachusetts for one strange year, and Seattle for nearly five years. But I gotta say, Portland has it above them all.
