People in Portland don't eat seven-way chili as much, people in Cleveland don't broil salmon as much. \n\nOregonians are more eco-concious than Ohioans. A three-piece suit in Portland is pants, vest and anorak.\n\nThe accents are quite similar; if you speak one you'll get along just fine in the other.

Ignore arrogant  and ignorant people like above\n\nApart from that, as a Frenchman having lived in UK and Spain for 5 years, I would say there are not many differences between customs in western Europe- differences are in details. French people tend to be quite formal in their social relationship (shake hands, "cultural physical distance" when socializing close to the British one- but differences between north and south of the country).\n\nHave a look at links below and explore the websites, I think they are quite interesting and complete.

I think they are quite different. New England is older (not the people just the culture).

yes, mostly.\n\nthe USA is a HUGE place; larger geographically than most countries around the world. so, it's hard to say that you'll be free to practice your religion in portland, oregon just like in perham, minnesota.\n\nlarger cities will be more accustomed to differing religions, languages and cultures. employers and landlords are more likely to base decisions on YOU and your references, instead of your religion.\n\nnote: in america it is considered a serious offense if an employer or landlord discriminates against you based on color, religion, sex, etc. however, small town america does a lovely job of getting around this. \n\nfor the most part you don't have to worry about being physically in danger. depending on where you end up, you may have to worry about being socially and mentally harmed.\n\nbut seriously--america is safe. :)

North America culture is a mixture of all cultures around the world. Only think unique we have is hip hop and jazz.

You can read about both of them on Encarta. Don't just take my word, they are different, learn why they are different there.

This is absolutely correct.\n\nIt is a little known fact that the City of Pittsburgh put a fence around Cleveland, adopting it as their official zoo.\n\nDenver recently did a similar municipal project in Oakland.

Northern California is beautiful. Been there only once but I was amazed. Its expensive though. Not sure what things are like in Tenn. I am from Colorado where things are expensive compared to where I moved from, Ohio. Cali was worse than Colorado, at least as far as housing and gas.

Portland (Oregon, I presume) is close to optimal; farther south on the  California coast (San Diego) might be better.  Anyplace east of the Rockies will have more front-related weather, with corresponding pressure changes.

Cuyahoga County. \n\nFrom wikopedia:\n\n"The city of Cleveland is the county seat of Cuyahoga County in the U.S. state of Ohio. The city is located on the southern shore of Lake Erie, in the Western Reserve in northeastern Ohio on the Cuyahoga River, approximately 60 miles (100 km) west of the Pennsylvania border. It was founded in 1796 near the mouth of the river, and became a manufacturing center owing to its location at the head of numerous canals and railroad lines. After the decline of heavy manufacturing, Cleveland's businesses are now more often in the financial services, insurance, and healthcare sectors."

Yah dude I used to live in portland and it's great fun to go out and see them once in a while. Defensive greats like Coburn and Hope, as well as wings like Morrow and May is what made me like them...and I still check up on them once in a great while.
