Medford has grown quite a bit since I last lived there. I did go to college in Ashland and would visit the mall (they would have a VW show inside) and parts of Medford.
You'll be in the Rogue Valley. Lightening storms, colorful sunsets, hot summers (peaked at 105ยบ a few times when I was there) and cold winters (snow/ice). A good variety of seasons...much better than Portland! Lots of deciduous trees like oaks so the fall season is colorful. The area tends to be a little on the red-neck side for me. Ashland is a nice, small tourist town along with the college. Klamath Falls is serious indian and red-neck territory. The area has plenty of country roads that would be just a blast in a topless teener and plenty of days for it to boot. If you love the great outdoors, including camping/hunting/fishing then you'll love it there! Lots of that stuff to go around and then some! Unfortunately, the ocean is about 2-3 hours away which is pretty far for me but much closer than where you currently are (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Skiing at Mt. Ashland is okay. Tends to be icy. Oh, the Medford airport is an "international" one but it's $$$ to fly from it compared to real international airports like Portland and Seattle. There's a Coors distributor there as well so you can get cheap beer -- remember, I was a college student down there (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) Personally, I like it down there far more than here in Portland. But the job market is better for me here and all my car buddies are here as well. There is a VW club down there as well: http://www.sovw.com/ I have seen the occasional 914 for sale in that area but none ever driven. I would recommend it. |
