I think it will probably pretty much be a little like living in a small OR beach town actually. Down where I am in sort of like an isolated little time warp of its own, but if I walk a few blocks Im in the middle of a busy, bustling urban center. Cool.
I have to figure out the commute and the best way to go, but I am aready feeing more alive at the prospect of moving.
Thanks again.

That's the thing about Portland--there are all these strange little pockets of old neighborhoods and even old towns that have sort of been swallowed up by the larger urban monster of PDX. Sellwood is definitely one of those old funky places. I'm sure you'll like it--and before too long, the City of Portland is planning to extend serious public transportation down that way, not just buses:
