So right now we live in a neighborhood called St. Johns. Its in North Portland. We both really like the area because we are very close to parks and dog areas, but at the sametime can easily walk to all the major amenities we need grocery stores, video stores, restuarants. Another thing we like about our area is that its got a little more of a blue collar feel than some of the areas where you can pay 5 bucks for a cup of coffee. Going out isn't a huge portion of our life, we don't go to plays, concerts much but like being able to walk from our house for a date night. My wife will probably be going to the Airport every other week so that will probably need to be a factor interms of our location. I will be working from home, but also be taking classes at cayuago (sp?) community college to get into grad school. We are hoping to have time to make a quick weekend to Cleveland, neither one of us have ever been there. Are weekends are going to be scarce between now and when we need to move, but its something we are hoping we can make happen.
