I lived in Sunriver for 5 yrs, now just your neighbor in WA.

I'm sorry. My sister lives in scumriver.

Why the bitterness?

No bitterness, I just grew up around there (La Pine actually). Just our name for the town, thats all.

Well, I didn't live inside of Sunriver! My house was in Oregon Water Wonderland, the address just happened to be a Sunriver address. That was the best place I've ever lived.

Holy crap, that is where my sister lives, in Oregon Water Wonderland that is.

That is not sunriver, that area is awesome. I lived out by Fall river hatchery for a while, but then moved to eastern Oregon.

You should move back. The wife and I keep looking at this one new house in La Pine. I loved being 5 minutes from National Forest land---guns, 4x4's, fishing. It was great.

I live in Banks ... you'd never know it was in Oregon if it didn't rain all winter here.

We have a 1/4 mile dirt race track that holds races every weekend all summer long. Right next to that is Sunset part with four baseball diamonds (no soccer field) and behind that is the local gun club, complete with shooting range.

You guys also have a tractor pull, an RC airport, and are near the Verboort Sausage Fest!

Yep, Banks is definitely the Bizarro version of Oregon ... though I would point out that North Plains is just as close to Verboort as Banks is.

I would, but I like eastern oregon a little better now. Less people around (closest neighbors are about a mile away). La Pine and Bend have really boomed (I was shocked a couple of years ago when I went back and saw a Bi-Mart in La Pine). Great place to visit and maybe stay awhile, but eastern oregon has grown on me.

Portland Area, here.
I'm only an Oregonian until the end of the month, sadly.
I will miss being there greatly. Headed somewhere that is almost the complete opposite of the Willamette valley weather wise.

Nobody actually lives in Summerville adairusmc do they? My bus wouldn't even stop there as a kid I grew up in Cove and Elgin. LaGrande was the BIG city to me back then lol.

I'm 10 miles out of North Plains, so you're undoubtedly a lot closer to those guys. NP does have the World Famous Elephant Garlic Festival, though.

Please do!

Grew up in Klamath Falls, went to college in McMinnville and got my first job in Salem.


That was three years ago. Now I live in Atlanta.

I miss Oregon

My mom hails from Halfway and the Pine Valley in general. We'll be taking her back there this summer, her health permitting.
She and my elder siblings lived in such diverse places as Klamath Falls, Portland, and Prineville.

I am so sorry about growing up in around elgin. Cove is nice though.

I live about halfway between la grande and summerville, at the base of Mt. Emily. Nice area, not too far from La Grande. There are quite a few people that live out this way, but I am more secluded than most of the houses.

I'm not from Oregon, but I will say that Rogue makes awesome beer and the Tillamook County Smoker makes awesome Jerkey!

 

[Poulsonator]

Dammit! Two more years until I move to Portland.

I work in La Grande, but I live closer to summerville.

And you've got internet out there?

I'm an Oregonian even though I no longer live there. I think 33 years in the state qualifies me.

I grew up in Eugene. Lived there from '73 (age 2) until '99. Then lived in Southern Oregon(Ashland then Eagle Point) from '99 until '06.

I've got degrees from University of Oregon and Southern Oregon University.

I miss Oregon sometimes, but with the way the schools, housing prices, and job market were going, it was time for a change for us. We've been in the Charlotte area for a year and a half now and no complaints so far. I do miss those Willamette valley summers though. Fall, winter, and spring here is great though. Year-round golf is a bonus. And although downtown Charlotte is very nice and clean, it's so tiny compared to Portland. It's like a ghost town on the weekends.
