gone through after college, it was a fairly ugly town, dominated by industry. McCall and others cleaned it up. It now is one of the best small cities in America.
Bend is cool. I lived in Portland for a year before I lived in Sisters for the same length of time. I love that coffee shop... hell, I saw it's now gone, "Cup of Magic." Great food, damn good coffee.
I hope Deschutes Brewery still has "Obsidian Stout...." (nitro, of course)

Sorry. No insult intended-just trying to be a Proud Denizen of my Adopted State.
You're right, Portland in the 70's was a far different place than it is now. It had the Rose Garden (the floral Rose Garden)....and that's about it. Seems, at times, progress (money) can bring a change for the good.

  subdivisions: the huge one west of town with the gorgeous views of the Sisters never should have been allowed. Now, others have sprung up, too, in order to boost population so that the schools built can have some occupancy. I was the leader of the opposition to the bonds for those schools because the figures didn't support building much larger schools. I suspected the planning and construction guys (inseparable) had something up their collective sleeves.

    Plus...the Sisters Town Leaders (Reed brothers, Hoyt, et al) wanted their own H.S. football team.
