Man, I've seen that place.

Lake Oswego is a really nice area (more expensive than I can afford to live) and I thought it was so cool they still had this old school theatre.

Good for them to spout off. Don't see those people avoiding Whore Foods any time soon though.

I was looking at that area a while back (I'm out of state). Seems beautiful. I later heard that it's kinda a whites only / racist enclave. Don't know how true that is.

I'm not white, I lived there for many years, it's fine. You won't encounter any issues, it's insanely safe with the only issues being white collar or drugs sold to stay at home moms.

There isn't much character though. Food choices are...fine. Grocery options...fine. It's just...fine.

That's kind of an Oregon thing. Some parts have moved on more than others.
