Headed there next month from South Korea after having not visited for three years. Can't wait to spend some time catching up with what has been going on.

It's terrible. Don't come here--I mean, go there. It's boring. Rains all the time. No baseball team. No football team. Miles from a mountain. Miles from the ocean.

The Portland Theater. The flea market on Saturday. The food trucks.

It's getting more and more expensive.

And the flippers are trying to destroy the neighborhoods by tearing down the homes and putting up high density monstrosities.

Where is the diversity? Where, for instance, does one get a decent burrito? Note: "Chipotle" is not the correct response.
