A new version of the same old question

What am I going to miss, when (if) I move to Portland from Boston? Bonus points for not saying anything about cold or snow or sports since I hate those things.

The closeness to mom and dad is a big one. Their health issues (as well as my in-laws' health issues) may delay our departure, we'll see. Thanks for the insights! Is that all the stuff you miss? I bet you miss the color green, and being so deep in the forest that all you can see is trees and rocks.

I do miss the green and all that other stuff you mentioned, but I didn't list it because I think you'll have that in Portland.

The other thing I miss out here is old mystery, the stuff Lovecraft's stories are built on. Scratch the surface here and you just find dirt. Well, dirt and mastadon bones that are just going to be bulldozed and have tract homes built on them.
