  EUGENE

Hi guys, I just wanted to make an announcement before this article starts. Over the next five weeks, I will be writing articles on the five cities in Oregon that exemplify the culture the feel and the natural landscape of the state that I live in. I have kind of already done one of them,(Pendleton) but it is the first in a series. On with the article.  

Today I am going to be talking about Eugene. Eugene is an amazing city with so much culture that is a growing major city. It is you in it's major city hood but it has stepped up to the challenge. It's population has been growing in recent years because of how truly beautiful and vibrant it is. I've always loved the  nice neighborhoods and the scenic parks and the river and the great markets. It has been Oregon's second greatest in population, but that is debatable. It has seemed to fluctuate over the years. One year Salem is bigger, the next Eugene is. 

There is so much to love about Eugene, from the vibrant buildings of downtown and the fifth street market. To the peaceful tree-covered streets of Fairmount. To Hendricks park and  Spencer butte. It is the home of the university of Oregon, a good college and the home of the Oregon Ducks! #GO DUCKS! (Corvallis is for another day). The Ducks football team plays in the Autzen Stadium and the basketball team plays in the glorious Matthew Knight arena. It has all the facets that a big city should have and it's only going to get bigger. It's a hippie city, so if you live there, you're going to see some hippies(just a warning). 

Eugene is great because people from all walks of life come together there, the educated, the educators, the artisans, the musicians, the athletes, the doctors the lawyers, the old people, the young people. And if it wasn't cool enough for you, it is also a culinary destination, hosting a big  farmers market and having many great restaurants. 

In conclusion, I have been to Eugene many times over the years and each time it surprises me even more with the the many elements of it's great cityscape. Eugene is a great place, a great college  town and an even better city.
