Is there a country town like this in Oregon?

[Kitebird]

Lebanon, hmm?
From YOUR site - Seems like it might be a more "fun" place than say Oakland, CA
- especially if you're a cop.

Reminds me of some old Edward Abbey writings - where from a hard day of cattle chasing, he goes to The local mining town bar, sees a typical-s' truck "Support our troops!" in the parking lot - & then ties on a FRN dollar boutonnière on the wiper. And writes on the wind shield: "Have the greedy banksters, CEO's & politicians destroyed your Job, Killed your Kid & got your House YET! ?"
There now, Shall we go in?
Hah "Live Dangerously!" I say!

And - so HoWs ju'you like YouR Bud sir?
Usual, w/ double shot o Jack & a single meth chaser, please.

Lebanon can be cool but also it can be a drag.

I live in Scotts Mills near Silverton and it pretty well fits all the bill you want. It has just about the best art in the park show in August I've seen. Storybook downtown has a really Kool Mayor Stu Rasmusson (Who happehs to be the first openly cross dressing mayor) Big box stores 20 miles away in salem if you like that stuff. Go into the kinda hip kinda funky coffee shop and wine tasting on Water across from the Palace 1940 theatere still run by the mayor. Folks of all ages and stripes live there. Take 213 Cascade Highway from Portland neat little villages along the way. Be shure to check out the 1876 Marquam Store and art glass studio in a 1940 Art Deco building, that has just been restored and a popular resturant called "The MarKum Inn. There's a great poetry group in Silverton and the Grange is doing green garden stuff. Excellent Earth Day at the Oregon Garden in Silverton. There's also rock hounding in the creeks. Check this place out plus 7 miles away in Mt.Angel is a huge library with thousands of books on history and everthing else including illuminated manuscripes and part of a Guttenburg Bible. They also have a great Oktoberfest in Sept.

Sounds like someone's been watching Rooster Cogburn on DVD again.
