The comments about Portland OR really remind me of my own experience with spending time there. It really was the first time I was visiting a place and think "I'd really like to live here!". What really sold me was the quality of the food available for a city of that size. How walkable the place is. How friendly the people I met in the street were. How going out in Portland was fun. And the scenery around the city is just amazing. Plus it really seemed like a good place to raise a family (The latest criteria I have) because it was generally inexpensive and has all the community advantages of a smaller town.
