I've never been to Portland, so I don't know what it has to offer. But having left the Boston area 9 years ago, I still, with every breath I take, desperately miss:
-- Independent book stores (like that wicked neat sci-fi book store in Harvard Square) -- Independent coffee houses (like that one in Porter square with the bright colored somewhat smelly couches) -- Sundays on the Charles when they close off the street and turn it into a park where you can skate and stuff -- The art museum, the museum of natural history, all the rest -- Independent music stores (is Disk Diggers still there? I loved that place. There used to be an insanely cute guy with long black hair who worked there. I would go in and buy CDs just to gaze upon him LOL :-)
I live in FL now, and the only benefits to being here are the weather and having found the love of my life. I guess it's a fair trade. :-)
