In Lake Oswego I’ll be right by PCC, have a shorter commute than Beaverton, be closer to Portland, and have a small gym within walking distance.  Sadly the apartments are on a hill so I can’t go street running, and there aren’t any shops within walking distance.  So I’ll be driving everywhere.  But still I think they’re the best I’ve found, at least for 6 months.  I can always move further into Portland after that.

Keeping up on my Willamette Week, looking for cool things to do.  Let me know if you find anything, I’ll start trying to discuss what I find/do.  I’ve been playing Theme Hospital too!  It’s pretty fun!
