Looking at Corvallis

corvallis I've been looking for a new place to live.  So far nothing beats Chico, CA.  The next stop on the investigative tour is Corvallis, OR, home to

Oregon State
University,
a City
Aquatic Center,
a full-service public
library,
a multi-screen, good
movie theater,
a
yarn store,
a Wed./Sat. farmers' market,
better
air and weather than Chico,
and reasonably priced
housing

Politically, it appears to be a liberal pocket in the agricultural Willamette Valley of Oregon.

It doesn't have a Costco or a Trader Joe's, which is good or bad, depending on how you look at it.  I would miss Trader Joe's, but there is one in Eugene an hour (+/-) south of Corvallis.  The nearest Costco is only about 10 miles away in Albany.

So, a looking we will go.  See y'all in a bit.
