This was a great thread as I didn't realize there were others from the Portland Metro area on the forum. Looks like there are a few of us in Vancouver, WA area as well. Very cool!

Could be worse...that almost as much as a pouch (1.5oz) of CBW goes for up here (BC, Canada...you know, where the real Vancouver is :P ).
:crying:
I can't wait to do some tobacco tourism...but for any major purchase, it looks like online even after international shipping, is the only way to go for me.
Just for your information; Vancouver, WA was incorporated in 1857 and Vancouver BC was incorporated 1886, so who has the "real" Vancouver now. :nana: :mrgreen:
I was just giving you guys a hard time. Interesting facts though. Teasing aside, my reasoning was that the one that had hosted a world's exposition and the olympics might have just slightly higher name recognition. Growing up in Vancouver, BC I always wondered what Vancouver, WA was like. Admittedly I have not visited yet though...bucket list material I guess. Either way you look at it, you guys are some of my closest neighbours (yeah that's how a canuck spells it).
:P
:P
Let me tell you, its now where near as exciting as Vancouver, BC. It just your typical mid size city. If you're into history a visit to Fort Vancouver is pretty good, but other than that it's pretty boring.
You'd have to be one creative individual to spin something that would excite people to come to the "Couve". I'm not that creative.
What's so great about the Library? Given I haven't been there since I was in college, but it was nothing special back then, and I can't imagine its changed to much. It's big I'll give you that, but great... it's a library! How great can it be, its full of boring books. :mrgreen:
