Hello ALL.......I am a Oregonian by the trueist form. I moved to the ATL a few years ago. ATL can't compare to PDX in terms of overall quality of life. Except for the cost of living being cheaper. Traffic, Smog, and city sprawl rule supreme here. There are over 60 building of 30 stories or taller being built at the present time. Not much for parks. Piedmont park compares to Cresent park or Lents park in Portland in terms of size. It is by far the most famous park in the city. We do have the Silver Comet Trail that is a old rail line that has been turned into a bike path that is enjoyed by many. It is a peaceful adventure in a hectic city. The Chattahootchie National Recreational Park is nice with the Chattahootchie river flowing through it. And last but not least there is this big rock called Stone Mountain that has a bunch of old Confederates carved into the side, but it is a historical park.
