After being away from Hood River for about 7 years, I finally got to see it again this year.

I really wanted to move there, but when I came back and saw it again, the town seemed to have changed a lot. It seems a lot more plastic and commercial than it was when I first lived there.

It’s still rather charming and the scenary surrounding Hood River is still amazing. However, the town itself is not what it used to be, and I feel rather dissapointed. I like places with character and grit. This is too polished and seems to be crawling with rich playboys and old people.
