i hope @OP meant portland maine and suckers you all for upvotes
goforchristinam
Portland, ME (The Original Portland) is way cooler than the one in Oregon. Totally worth the upvotes!
minedontstink
Start early. Rental market sucks... high prices and no supply. If you're buying, watch your cornhole.
Marielwantsausername
Congrats! I'm waiting to hear back about my dream job in pdx right now.

The dream of the 90s is alive in Portland.

Welcome to Portland. You are now required to tell everyone that you know that you hate it here, so they don't move here too.
coffeeandconversations
I promise, and I promise to take the bus so I don't add to the horrific traffic
unresponsivenipples
I hope you're prepared
OhHiMarkOhHeyLisaHiDannyHiMiUnderwearesOhHeyLisaSpooooons

engendro666
Awesome DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
goforchristinam
I'm ignoring that you probably mean Oregon & gonna say, "Welcome to Maine! The way life should be!"
donegalforsam
Lived there for a year worked at RiRa!!
Illyric
THERE ARE DOZENS OF US
DarnNiceGuy
I always hated the sign that said "if you lived here you'd be home by now" because it was still two hours from the border to get home.
goforchristinam
New guy at work still has hard time getting the idea you can drive 5 hours straight north & have over an hour left to leave the state.

PORTLAND MAINE IS WHERE I LIVE
greenduck1928
Welcome! I'm in the process of moving to Portland too. It's a pretty awesome place to live. Filled with a lot of non-Oregonians now
SpeedRacersOlderBrother
Definitely a lot of new non-Oregonians, you can play the license plate game on your morning commute.
nitoureal
There are a few of us born and bred oregonians left. We're the ones that don't own umbrellas.
greenduck1928
haha i'm a born and bred Oregonian too and that is very true.
apokavkos
Which one. I recently moved here too and interviewed for my dream job! Welcome there's an Imgur facebook group called Portgurians
nitoureal
Welcome! Make sure to skip voodoo and hit up blue star donuts.
RayLynch
I can second this. Voodoo Doughnut is for tourists, and residents who don't know any better.
Olluranthel
NO! STOP COMING HERE PEOPLE MY COMMUTE TIME HAS DOUBLED IN THE LAST 3 YEARS. Congrats though I guess. Drink Breakside when you get here.
coffeeandconversations
I solemnly swear to take trimet as much as possible?
eyeofthepanda
I hope its just like Portlandia.
vnqx
I never saw the show, but I'm pretty sure it's worse.
Southsidenstein
Hopefully OP learns the lyrics to the Portland Anthem
Catsandbutts
It is 100% real.
rugger2
The dream of the 1890s
shimmernshine
Not sure exactly how that happened, but yeah, since that song, faux lumberjack is becoming nouveau lumberjack.
rugger2
I live close to a pretty hipster area in Pittsburgh and that song is 100% true.
shimmernshine
There's an area around UNC campus like that; I literally walked past someone painting a light blue bird silhouette on a mailbox.
Askarus
It is, that show is a documentary
nitoureal
seconded
Beckinpdx
people here who get pissy about it are just upset at the accurate portrayal of their life
MonopolyPiecesEverywhere
I live here...it is
boobyboi

If it was in Portland TN where I live it'd be more like trailer park boys
squintish
That's a very specific dream job.
motherofgoddd
That was my first thought
Statboy78
The best jobs ARE specific. No one dreams "to work in an office somewhere"
mycatToastwasafatasshole
My old ex did. One of the reasons I broke up with him, no real ambition (among many other things. He's a good guy, but not right for me.)
MichaelScottPaperCompanyInc
maybe he wants to be a mover
dicklashanks
Let me know how the heroin and stripers are
sheapet
I too would like to know where the stripers are
DjDomo
Congrats OP! I'm in Seattle, you come up this way and your first beer is on me!
FuckCreativeNames12345
Fuck the sounders
coffeeandconversations
Deal!!
derptardaction
Portland's closed. We've met occupancy as of ten years ago.
coffeeandconversations
That's what's I've heard. Sorry im not sorry about moving up....
ScottScholz
Seriously, it's not a joke. The city is literally full.
TheLastThylacineBookExpert
Be careful where you park. Over summer I work for a company that gives citations to people who don't read the signs for parking in Portland
TheLastThylacineBookExpert
I don't like giving citations so please pay attention to the signs regarding Parking and whatnot. Can also tow your car depending on areas
coffeeandconversations
Thanks man!
qwertyowl
Sorry we aren't sorry the housing market gon' rape ya.
derptardaction
Dude dealing with shit right now. The worst. "hey hope you like gettin fucked on rent!"
phlebotomist0x0
ten years ago my rent was 650 for a two bedroom in town. I just got turned down for a 1800 one bedroom.
qwertyowl
Fuck even 5 years ago rent was only 850 for a 2br in town. I was legit looking at buying in 2012. Now I'm noping out of this market lol.
daementia
Moving up? Fucking Californian.
coffeeandconversations
How did you even find this post!? And I'll have you know, I'm only moving from California, but grew up in South America.. Also, calm down
daementia
On random... just kidding m8. Welcome to portland. Have fun :)
coffeeandconversations
Yeah.. I love Portland & really understand everyone who hates people ruining it. I really hope I can be part of stuff here, not ruin things
jacoby822
I've got quite a few friends who work at different roasters in the area. What company will you be working for?
derptardaction
Just hit me up when you're here and I'll buy you a beer ;)
