Portland has got to be one of the coolest cities in America. It’s remarkably laid back for a city of it’s size. They’ve got decent public transit, and it’s pretty easy to get around on bike too. It seems like everyone in Portland is pretty trendy, but without the standoff-ishness of hipsters from other cities.
