After living in Eugene for only a week, I have become enamored with this town! Full of life and culture, I see and experience new things everyday! Additionally, Eugene is an outdoorsy town. There are so many parks, trails, and outdoor spaces for it's occupants to enjoy. As for the people, there is a common attitude of kindness and openness. There is a relaxed vibe, and those who I've seen seem quite happy. I am looking forward to spending the next 4 years here.
Pretty impressive list of entertainers that come here, big name concerts to garage bands, plus indie films and art exhibits. The McKenzie and Willamette Rivers are well protected and provide stunning views and lots of recreation. Impressive vineyards and breweries, lots of farm to table dining. One hour to the coast or mountains, not much further to the desert. Northwest paradise!
Eugene is an awesome mid sized city. It's a great place if you're a foodie as there is a nice variety of ethnic foods, many family owned restaurants, and healthy vegan or gf options. Being an eco conscious (obsessed) city means the food is local, sustainable and organic when possible. There's an excellent array of markets as well, no plastic bags. Bring your own! Public transportation is top notch and will get you anywhere.
