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.

BTW -- The main reason I've followed your blog for a while is the pix you post. It probably sounds nuts, but I love the pix you post from inside your house that show the moldings and the hardwood floors. We don't have wood floors in FL, and I miss the sound that it makes when you walk across them. I will also mix the outdoor pix you post of the doors, and the streets, it gives me the warm fuzzys to know that as much as stuff has changed, somethings are still as I left them.

Thanks, I really appreciate it, and I appreciate your list of things you miss. I basically wanted to know what to appreciate before leaving it, and I liked your list a lot. Fortunately Portland is a lot like Boston (the best thereof) when it comes to coffee, books, music. Not as much for Big University/Culture things (museums).

I like that you notice the little details of the house! I'm a big fan of mundane details--they are very important. I don't post more pictures of my house because it is so dirty :D.
