Grants Pass is where I live, it's a wonderful city.

It's changing from a redneck logging and farming community to a hoity-toity upscale wine and croissant retirement community, but it's still an absolutely wonderful place to live. And the best thing is, you're only 20 minutes from Oregon! (Hah hah!)

If they want more info, I'd be glad to tell 'em...

Great! A small town flavor with great emphasis on civic affairs. Summer time has concerts in the park, great county fair, back to the fifties week with 600+ hot rods from the northwest, boat races on the Rogue, homecoming parade down main street....a wonderful place to raise a family. Both our docs (one from Harvard Med) moved here just for the healthy environment for their families....
and.....the rubber duck race. 20,000 yellow rubber ducks are bought by residents and the proceeds go to local charities.... They're dumped off the upriver bridge and is a sight to see......

I live a few miles south of there--and it's beautiful. Summers get hot--sometimes over 100--but winters are fairly mild and the Rogue River runs right through GP.

BTW--I was at the rally in Central Point--right by the big green thingy below the flag in the first picture--got to see our President close up (except when this guy in a cowboy hat got in the way, which was a lot). Think your son will LOVE it here!!
