- Well I don't know about oregonions going out of their way but
- californians do have a bad rep there. Everything from causing housing
- prices to go up, traffic problems, and just plain being rude and stupid.
-
- In a article in an airline magazine it goes to describe a scene from
- downtown where a funny dressed gentleman is riding his bike down the
- street. When some cars stopped to observe him the only impatient car
- happened to have california plates. Oh the gentleman was the mayor of
- portland.
-
- Another problem has been with celebrities from CA voicing their opinions
- about the owls and ballot measure 9. No one wants to listen to an
- outsider tell you what to do.
-
- But once you've moved there and gotten different license plates and quit
- gawking at no sales taxes you'll fit in.
