I absolutely love where I'm from, but there are good & bad things about everywhere. If anyone mentions Oregon, I can't shut up for about an hour. Becky hates it & has no idea why I love it so much. She got a little taste of the "west side" of Phoenix when I lived there & I love it there too... Here's a list of good & bad things depending on your point of view:
WEST SIDE (Why I'm kinda ghetto)
Everyone is much more laid back
No HOA's to deal with
You see a lot of really nice El Camino's (The mullet of the auto world)
If a front yard is nice it probably has a fountain or a shrine to the Virgin of Guadalupe in it
My friends would actually hang out
Police only break up parties if "shots are fired"
No one makes fun of me if I order a PBR in a can. (Rogue West)
Everyone is really good at Golden Tee Live
You start saying "Whey" instead of "Dude"
There are a ton of VW's & VW people
You can't walk around wearing blue, red, brown, purple, white, gray or tan
Everyone from the west side is family
EUGENE, OREGON (Why I'm kinda... I don't know how to describe it)
I think it's the last town in America still producing real Hippies
The air smells sweet
It's the best college town ever (Everything is Green & Yellow)
You walk everywhere
It rains 2/3 of the year
people sleeping in the grass on the side of the road aren't necessaraly homeless
There are tons of book stores & thrift stores
Everything is organic (read hippies)
You can walk around the Saturday market with bare-feet
fuschias & sugar magnolias grow wild
There are spiders the size of small dogs

The West Side sounds fabulous. I must call my realtor immediately. I've been looking for a good mullett salon and a new statue for my yard.
Is today your birthday?
Shh... don't tell anyone
