Joseph is awesome. It is nestled inside the Wallowa mountains. It seems like it is in the  middle of nowhere. But as you go into the town, you discover the beautiful oasis. It is a  cowboy town with so much charm and so much spirit. It might just be the greatest small town in Oregon. It has so many little things that make it great. It's so isolated, and it is adjacent to the great Wallowa  lake. It is old and is a town filled  to the  brim with interesting people and places that just et under you skin. It is the little aspects and little things and the natural beauty that surrounds this marvelous little pocket of greatness. The tiled streets and the signs and the brass sculptures. 

 When you get there you just want to relax. You can feel the mountains and rivers and trees and forest and wilderness colliding in one spot. It leaves me without words. I can't even describe how beautiful this towns truly is. This town has that sort of alpine charm that other towns are devoid of. 

 This town knocked me dead and left me on the curb.

    Whoa, those are some major superlatives you're slinging there. I need to hit some Joseph action ASAP!

    Love,

SILVERTON

SILVERTON  Silverton is the gold standard for any town in Oregon, and it is easily accessible from the big cities. Word has been spread about how great Silverton is, but you have to visit to truly experience it's magnitude. It is the small town in Oregon that all others should be compared too. It is a winner in both categories. It is a  cute small town with great architecture and stunning natural views. But it is also a healthy and well functioning city with many amenities and scores high livability points in my book and is a destination for many people seeking to escape from urban life in the western part of the state. It sits along the 45th parallel and is on the edge of the Salem metro area. It is about an hour from Portland and ten minutes from Salem. As with many Willamette valley towns it is surrounded with countryside. When you first arrived in Silverton, you see many nice houses in a neighborhood or two, but once you get into downtown it is the real deal.  You witness f

BAKER CITY

BAKER CITY In the rural dessert lands with the Wallowas lying north and the dessert lying south, sits a gleaming city of wonders. The queen city of eastern Oregon, it is filled with great sights to behold. It has tall buildings and old ones and it maintains the European vibe a bit with some buildings but it looks like a small city in eastern Oregon. When you are driving to Baker city, you think it's either going to be crappy or sleepy if you don't know anything about it. But instead you find an amazing wonderful  place with so much star-studded greatness it's not like the environment around it, it's like Oregon's version of Dubai(except without the skyscrapers, futuristic technology, and huge dessert, I mean huge!) Arriving there, I was in awe, I never really thought it would look like what it actually was. Most people(I mean Portlanders) look at pictures of Baker city and say to themselves "hey! I'd like to go there some time maybe in a couple years..

WHAT IF.... WEST SALEM WAS IT'S OWN CITY

WHAT IF... WEST SALEM WAS IT'S OWN CITY I am starting a starting a new section on my blog, it's what if Thursdays. Every week I will propose a theory on a place in Oregon and weigh the likelihood and ramifications. This week I will be discussing west Salem. I think that there is a slight possibility that it could become it's own city. It sits along the Willamette river and is technically a neighborhood in Salem, but it could be much more. It is located in Polk county whilst the rest of Salem is in Marion county. West Salem is mostly residential and some retail chains. It has the population to back up becoming a city. West Salem's population was 24,183 in 2012, and it is a considerable part of Salem's residential population.  If west Salem became it's own  city it would be the largest city in Polk county, and would probably become the county seat. It is an interesting question to ponder. Do you have anything you would like me to cover? Do you want me to cover
