Here, it costs at least 800k-1million for a newer house on a few acres, there it costs 100-200k .. and it seemed so much cleaner and more environment-friendly there. The drive was SO boring and monotonous though! lol.

Giselle, I saw a Grey Park right off of Highway 5... don't remember the name though . I did hear that Oregon is one of the few states were Greyhound racing is still legal. Personally, I think I'd still prefer lure coursing that's amazing to watch!
I wasn't aware that Greyhound racing is still legal here. I'll have to check into that.

I'm from California, and have been here in Oregon for 5 years now and will NEVER go back. It is cheaper to live here, no taxes except cigarettes and alcohol, and it is MUCH MUCH cleaner and safer than California. It's absolutely beautiful here!
