West Coast people are pretty chilled

You'll like the pace in Portland. Seriously, check us out!
Went to NYC for 4 days. Hated it myself. Funny considering I came to the US from a place of almost 10 million people. I've been too accustomed to Portland myself.
Early 90s it was not that great (people were pretty close minded), I thought it was awful, but now I'm loving it.
