Eugene

I was born in Eugene! And I’ve been back, once.

Hopefully I’ll make it to the P.NW again one of these years!

This is where I grew up. Which condems me to forever be a hippie weirdo according to Lesly.

just moved away from eugene after living there 15 years. i miss it so much!!

Don’t park in the parking garages downtown! Or at least pay more attention to the tiny little signs that say when the garages close. I live in Portland and drove down to Eugene for a day trip visiting a friend who lives in Eugene. We parked in the parking garage. We came back at 6:30 and the garage was closed and locked with my car inside. It is at that point that my friend says “Huh, I got locked in a parking garage once before.” What!? Then why the hell didn’t you warn me not to park in the garage!? It was pretty dreadful. We had to crash with some of his friends that I had never met overnight, I was wearing a super uncomfortable bra and didn’t have any clean underwear. We had to wait until ten a.m. to get the car and drive home. It was dreadful. Learn from me – don’t park in the parking garages!

EXTREMELY liberal (the home of the Seattle WTO rioters), rains a lot but beautiful in the summer.
I grew up near here.

I lived here, and I believe it is one of the best places there is. The only downside (in my opinion) is that the weather can be quite rainy, but this means a nice green landscape.

Classic NW college town – vegetarian and pizza restaurants, jogging paths… a great place to spend a few years or to drink a few beers.

It’s nice. I like the country better. Oregon’s beautiful.

One hears that Eugene is a bastion of liberalism and free hippies, but somehow I got the idea that it would be … moreso. In a way, it felt like most college towns and there wasn’t any more or less patchouli and hemp that many of the other places I’ve been. On top of that, it gets colder than I care for.

If you’re looking for paradise, I have other recommendations.
