This thread has gone far too long with out a post.

I interview next week with a company in downtown so if all goes well I'll be rolling in PDX full time (sorta, the job requires lots of travel) next month. Which could not come soon enough... Salem has no redeeming qualities and makes me yearn for Corvallis... if that was at all possible. Seriously, how did Salem become so anti-bike especially when surrounded by Portland, Corvallis, and Eugene... all bike friendly cities.
