I lived in Portland for almost 20 years, and that's where my eldest daughter went to college. I missed the sunshine. I grew up in L.A.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
But I went to high school in a Portland suburb and went to college here.
Portland is the perfect weekend getaway. I studied acting in Portland and lived there for five years. It's a small city with so much to do. There's beautiful scenery, a great bar scene, and so many fabulous restaurants.
I grew up in Los Angeles and always wished I'd spent a childhood in a far different place.
I grew up in L.A., but I was the only one in my family born there.
I just wanted to move out of Portland to do something.
I wanted to go to Portland because it's a really good book town.
I grew up in Brentwood, but I live now in Los Feliz. I grew up on the beach, now I live under the Hollywood sign.
We came to Portland because there was a good alternative public school. Friends who lived there told me about it, and my son loved it. I left his dad and went to work slinging hash in a breakfast diner and working nights tending bar in a biker tavern.
I grew up in L.A. I actually grew up in the Valley, which was a pretty amazing place to grow up because everybody has nice, big backyards, and I was kind of a little nature being.
The first time I lived in L.A. I was too young. I really wanted to be back home in Vancouver.
