Bohemian Bargain

Portlanders love their city for its relaxed pace and natural offerings: The city sits at the nexus of two great rivers, surrounded by immense forests and hushed volcanoes. They are just as proud of their downtown art galleries, eateries and brew pubs as they are of their wilderness. Politically conservative folk and go-go business people should avoid this metropolis of 1.9 million. Most residents are strictly liberal and favor slow growth.
