With regards to Oregon's 'image'...  Boasting about Oregon and how great it is seems very Un-Oregonian like to me-and wonder if it is all the newcomers that are doing most of the boasting.  I preferred it when Oregon was an undiscovered secret and you actually had to work at finding it.  Actually I recall in the late 1980's early 1990's where ppl did NOT want to boast about Oregon, so that ppl wouldn't know how great it is and move here!
