[quote=Anonymous]I lived in Portland for 6 years. Yes, the weather can be difficult to deal with, but probably not as bad as you may think. When we moved it wasn't so much because of the weather. It was more because of the economy there. It was very difficult to make a living (of course, this was back in 2008; so take that with a grain of salt). Also, it was difficult for me personally because it was a very secluded, and homogeneous area. As a person of color, I found that I stuck out like a sore thumb. If you are a minority of any kind, be prepared to answer questions like "what country are you from?" The beaches are beautiful, but way too cold to swim in. There's a ferry that leaves downtown Portland and will bring you to Peaks Island; it's a quick and cheap ride. It's fun to go there on weekends in the summer, especially when they have their free outdoor concerts. There's a minor league baseball team in Portland called The Sea Dogs. And lastly, don't forget to check out The Comedy Connection if it's still open. Like anywhere, Portland is both good and bad. I think it's definitely worth your consideration. Good luck!   [/quote]
