Oregon - Signs Things Are Looking Up

Oregon is an amazing place to live, and it seems more people are discovering it.  I hope many generations of Sniders have the benefit of living here.
One of my favorite places - Heceta Head


This recent article in Forbes gives a rundown on the places people are fleeing, and why they are moving to greener pastures. As you might expect people are leaving the rust belt and Northeast for the sunny places - South and Southwest.  One thing you may not expect:
"One big surprise from the study is Oregon, which is the second most popular state with 61% inbound migration. Although it’s not the typical temperate climate of a retirement spot, Stoll believes hipster city Portland may be attracting both older individuals and young people with its mix of economic growth, cutting edge urban planning and scenic landscape."
Some statistics about Oregon.  A great place to live and work.
