NY Times has two articles about visiting Portland today.

The goal is to become a world class bicycling city, with the ability to bring your bike aboard any bus or tram, and visit any brewpub or pizza place you'd like. Ultimately, you won't need a car to accomplish most activities, which is unusual among western US cities.

"Peter Kiewit looked for three things in hiring people. He looked for integrity, intelligence and energy. And he said if a person didn’t have the first…that the latter two would kill him. Because if they don’t have integrity, you want ‘em dumb and lazy. You don’t want ‘em smart and energetic.”

A friend and I spent a night and a day in Portland last summer (before heading to a farm in wine country) and walked everywhere - it's a lovely city to explore on foot.

I haven't driven in Portland in several trips, heck I don't drive to Portland any more, I just take the train. I always manage to get to at least ten places in two to three days.
