Congratulations to Jenny and Brian who just purchased a lovely house in NE Portland with a detached ADU (accessory dwelling unit). They are moving to Portland from Boston. Jenny’s parents are making the move with them and will be living in the ADU.
When I asked Jenny and Brian why they picked Portland for their new home, they let me know they wanted a more relaxed pace to life. They love Portland’s culture and the fact that not everyone is in a rush. Portland locals enjoy free days of leisure that may begin with a hike, then lunch, shopping, and topped with a trip to a favorite brew pub. Over the two week period of house hunting, we discussed the differences between Boston and Portland. In the end, we decided that photos speak louder than words. Jenny showed me a photo of a crowd gathered in a Boston bar. The photo showed locals dressed in Red Sox jersey’s and baseball caps. I found a photo of a crowd gathered in Portland bar, dressed completely in flannel shirts with or without black skullcaps. I guess we are more Portlandia than we think. Jenny and Brian, we are happy to have you among us!
