Just got back from Portland trip [View all]

Oh my god, it was so nice up there! (I'm in SoCal). The weather was perfect for me to walk in, even in the rain. I feel better and can exercise more when it's cold. It never gets cold here anymore

I stayed in a little house in Sellwood, by 11th and Lexington. I didn't have a car, so I just walked in the neighborhood for hours. I ate at Jade and Grand Central Bakery, so good!

I'd like to come visit again next year, and I'm wondering if there's another neighborhood you guys could recommend, just for a change of scenery. I need quiet, easy to walk, close to cafes and food, park(s), like Sellwood I suppose. I'm in my 50s and not interested in the hip 'hoods like the Pearl.

You have a special city, you lucky people!
