Yes,
when I first moved from New York City to this part of the country after a short
stay with my mom, there was a brief moment I lived and
worked in downtown Portland. I loved the walking city life in New York so much
I was thinking I could replicate it by living and working downtown. Well, the
good news is that I did walk back and forth to work – downhill ten blocks to the
waterfront in the morning and uphill those same steep ten blocks in the evening.
An enjoyable walk and I had the butt and thighs to prove that the uphill climb was a great
workout. Who needs a gym or a spin class?
