Lived in Bend for a while. Jobs are few and the pay was pathetic. And living expenses are not cheap either. Great place to visit but that’s about it for now.

I lived 20 miles east of Roseburg just off of the Diamond Lake parkway (Route 138),
and then in Springfield - which is across the Willamette River from Eugene 'Hippy-Town'.

Folks go to college and party at the University of Oregon in Eugene,
whereas folks in Springfield generally WORK for a living.
