Cool. But this -- especially your last line -- seems to run counter to your earlier posts.Have a great time in LP. I'll be surprised if you don't.

You are underestimating the power of propaganda, particularly long-term relentless repetition. Sprocket has heard literally hundreds of times that San Francisco and Portland are burning HellZones. He is no longer open to learning otherwise nor would he even believe his own eyes if they contradicted the dross he has willingly, gratefully swallowed.
i've been to both a few times and chicago many times. loved them years ago. it's really unfortunate what has happened to them i choose not to spend my money there. is that ok with you jack wagon? i would much rather spend my time and money where i feel it's worth my while. go ahead and join your buddys in the chit holes they've made for themselves.
I’m not moving to Arizona
excellent! we've all seen how you guys have f'd up enough of our cities as it is.
I like cities with water
Arizona has plenty of water.But, enjoy Portland, hippy.

ZaLinI have been to Portland many times, mostly years ago because Nike was a big customer of ours in the 1990's and loved it. I have no problem with my daughter living there, especially because is a very active outdoors person and runs, hikes and skis all over the area. I was just somewhat surprised her change of heart about Portland. Granted, she is not looking to move away, and her SUV being stolen when she unloaded her skiing gear has influenced her to some degree. That said, she definitely has a slightly different opinion today vs. three years ago.
I was in San Francisco last month and it was fantastic as usual. Will be in Chicago in a couple of weeks and am expecting the same. Too bad you allow your fears to be manipulated and you miss out on good times.
My wife and I stay in downtown Chicago about once a quarter. Amtrak down and find a hotel in the city...dinner, sometimes a show...late nights and brunch before a train back. I'm amazed at people that think its dangerous or really even changed. It's Chicago. It's a city. And its way better than anything we have in Wisconsin (and most of America if I'm being honest).
san francisco, chicago, seattle, portland used to be really neat cities. i miss chicago and san fran especially. won't be going back very soon. not worth the risk considering the costs...too bad
