- Several of us here in Folsom are considering trying to transfer up to Intel
- in the Portland area and would like to know more about the area, such as
- climate, recreation, cost of living, the music scene, etc.
- Both of us have driven through Portland but that's about all. Our knowledge
- is limited to the hearsay rumors we get of Portland folks having webbed feet
- and such.
- We'd appreciate detailed info on rental or purchase price for average homes
- in the Aloha area, what the crime rate is there, how many days per year of
- sunshine/rain/clouds, etc, also whether there's a decent symphony there and
- what the live music club scene is like. As an active musician my decision on
- whether to move there is very dependent on this last question.
- Thanks for any advice,
-
