I fell in love with Salem when I was up there on business a few years ago. I would not mind living on the seaward side of Oregon... I have been told that the desert side is nice too, though I have never been there. Another thing to consider about that area is that there is a new "sister" forming. There is a spot near Salem that is rising very rapidly... at one point almost 2 inches a year. More than likely a new volcano getting ready to happen.

I visited there a couple of times when I was a kid, but don't remember much about it. I agree with you about moving to a smaller town. I used to love Bakersfield and my first couple of years in the Navy I had ideas of going back to live there permanently whenever my enlistment was up, but as time progressed I saw too many rapid changes and it has just exploded in size, and it's just not the same anymore. I used to recognize half the people in the mall on any given day, but last time I was there I vaguely recognized one person who I saw in the food court, and couldn't remember where I knew her from or what her name was. Now I just want to move up to the Pacific Northwest. Have you thought about Oregon? Eugene is a very nice town, and currently not too expensive. My mom did part of her growing up in Taft.
