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.

Maybe I'm just antisocial, but I have never gotten used to saying "Hello" to EVERYONE I pass on the street. There is a lot to be said for the quite, reserved New England demeanor.

Living in San Francisco was weird--strangers in lines at the store would just up and talk to me! WTF? I'm such a New Englander that way, but I quickly adjusted. Portland seems like a good middle point between too cold and too friendly.
