My dad has orchards out here. After college I moved back for a job in Hood River, and within a few months had a house of my own in town. I have a different job but still work in Hood River. Everything about living here is pretty ideal, except for the smoky bars and tepid social environment. But yes, from my understanding, fairly comparable to KFalls.

Oh, my bad. I understand the need for distinction.
What got you to go to The Dalles? I mean, I moved to Klamath Falls for work, which isn't a whole heck of a lot better than The Dalles or La Grande.

Ha, if you look carefully, it says The Dalles. Which, while not THAT much better, I'm particular to distinguish. It's all about the Columbia River Gorge, man. But I've been here on my own for almost 3 years now. :)

Hold up...
You have Damien Rice, Smashing Pumpkins and Sigur Rose listed on your top artists, you like 'coffee and nothing', and you live in La Grande?
I didn't realize you lived there. I know about a dozen people from there, so about half the city :-)
How long have you lived there?
