Here one can find lots of great places to eat, drink, and enjoy the company of friendly Oregonians. I am fortunate to be living so close to Portland, I often will head there on Weekends to explore the many bars and restaurants. Portland itself is a beautiful city, and Damascus is such a short distance away that it makes for a perfect commute. Read Less
