Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time

petropolisful··on Ask HN: If your job was remote, which city would you choose to live in?

Grew up there. Live in Portland OR now. I'd like to be remote someday exactly so I can move back, though probably just to one of the quieter (cheaper) surrounding areas... Hard to beat actual seasons and interesting weather. You can drive for 20 minutes in any direction and find yourself alone in nature. Boston is just 2 hours south and the ocean is everywhere you look. Winters are long and harsh, though.

petropolisful··on Ask HN: What website, from your early days on the net, do you miss?

petropolisful··on Find a new city

I've been considering a move from PDX to ABQ this year, for reasons of geography and social culture; however the job market here has completely spoiled me and I haven't followed up on many job leads over there. It does not seem to be exactly what one could remotely consider a tech hub, which is actually part of the draw for me, honestly.
